Bed Springs

 I found these vintage bed springs at Bloomers a really cool store here in East Palatka.

I decides to make them into snow men.

This was so much fun-Used a form ball for the base of the snow man head - covered the head with Golden's molding paste.  I made the carrot noses out of paper clay-painted them orange.  I used beads for the eyes and nose which I pushed into the head before the paste dried. (also the nose)  When dry I painted them with glitter paint.

the hat are paper macho-which I painted black and distressed them-Added the ribbon for the band on the hat and around the neck for a scaf.

Romantic Wrapped Necklace With Diane Cook

 Her class is a lot of fun and learned some wonderful tips

Art For The Creative Mind Swap

 Theme 8" by 8" swap using material instead of paper.  My image is silk copy of a vintage image.

Than I used vintage laces and over embellishments.

Fairy Theater

 Just finished a class with Iva Wilcox at Artful Gathering.  We made this wonderful lit fairy theater.

 Iva is a fantastic teacher-enjoyed her class so much.

 There is still time to take her class at Artful Gathering.

Real Or Borrowed Relatives ATC

 ATC swap for Act For The Creative Mind June Swap-"Real Or Borrowed Relatives Cabinet Card

 I found the images I wanted t use and re-sized them.  Copied and resized a cabinet card.

 Cut the image to fit. cut out the cabinet card and copied it again so I could use for the back of the AT
 Aged and distress them with ink pads-stamp some designs on front and back with gold ink.

 I think they turned out really well.

I hope my swap partner is happy.

Nest

Another from Debbie Hodge-large wooden letters with filigree attached then painted a pale Robin eggs blue.  Added a chain and crystals.

I hang it on my fire place.  Just love it.

A Little Spice

 I used some old spice bottles for this I found in a Good Will.  I aged the tops, added filagree and some beads to the top, and added treasures in the bottles.  Used solder around the bottles, added jump rings and chain.  Attached a charm to the front of the bottle.

Give Me A Hand

 Love these paper macho hands.

 I first base coated them and then use a medal paint on the base-then use Sophisticated Finishes rust solution on them. Attached tissue paper on the hand part.  Added stamped images. Sealed with a sealer. Embellished with different items.
