Stockings

Here are a couple of handmade linen stockings Debbie Hodge  gave me.  I added a couple of large shell buttons with a tie.

Pink Trees

 I had these large cone about 19 inches high-so used boas by going round and round with some hot glue.

Quite and very easy.

A Little Bit Of Christmas

 I found this deer in Good-Will-he was is sad shape-I sanded him and filled in holes with air drying paper clay. Than painted him-added german glass glitter-made a wreath smaller to fit his neck-added some silver balls-

 made a very large bow and green rhinestones for eyes

wooden stocking blanks-painted than-erman glass glitter and some tacs & bows

A Few Hearts

 The western parts are tin cut outs, that I used for the inside of the metal hearts-after I attached paper to the insides and to the backs.  On the back I added a stamped word.

 The images are die cuts. I attached paper to the insides and than attached the images.

I added images also to the backs.

Pins

 Paper Whimsy had a class with Laura Roberts where we learned how to create this lovely box and angel pin using a key for the base.

 I made a few more pins as gifts.

Just love these thanks Paper Whimsy and Laura.

O' Christmas Trees

 I made
these using part of the handle of a knife.  I cut them off and polished and sealed them.

 I beached and colors some of the trees-using white glue on the branches and added glitter.  I glued them in the knife handle added a ribbon for hanging.  Added a bow

Watch Cases

I put these together for the Holiday House Sale.  I love using old watch cases to make picture frames out them.

Bracelets

I found these plates at Michael and turned them into bracelets.

My Little Bird

 I received a second place ribbon for my little bird at our Palatka Art League members show.

 He is a small wooden bird that I covered in embossed metal.  Plus I added some filagee metal also.

He also made it in our local news paper.  So happy to have placed.  It is the first time I entered one of my pieces.
