Cross Bracelets

I was going though my old jewelry junk box and came across these crosses so decided to make some bracelets, and  here they are.  The only hard part was making a curve in the cross so they would lay across the wrist.  I was worried they might break.  So lucky they didn't.

Altered Coffin

 Our group Art For The Creative Mind has a altered coffin swap.  This is my altered coffin.

 He is a very dashing fellow and has his small friend with him.  I enjoyed doing this swap and I Can't wait to see what I received.  I just know it is going to be fantastic.

Dream Banner

This was fun-Debbie sent me the beveled glass and the linen Letters. I joined the glass with the letters dream. I painted the brass and place in the oven for  about 20 minutes.  I used the brass to embellish the frames.  Added some rhinestones Debbie also sent.  Aged the chain and put them together.  I love this banner-dream is one of my favorite words.

With A Little Brass & Crystals

I had this brass ring that Debbie had sent me and I painted and made a few holes and added a chain for hanging and some vintage crystals.

Cone With German Glass Gliitter

I received this large cone (about 16"tall) from Debbie Hodge.  Part of one of her kits.  It is made with German glass glitter and with brass findings.  The top edge is soldier and brass findings to hold the ribbon for hanging.  I have to decide what I will fill it with.  Love the packages that come from Debbie.

Bottle Angels

 Here are some angels I created with a porcelain doll head and paper clay for their bodies.  I added some treasures in the bottles and then place their heads and made their bodies.  I try to make angels every year for our Holiday house.

Doll Chest

 I found this doll chest in a junk store.  I refinish it.  I wish I had a Little Grand Daughter, mine is 17 now.  But I had fun redoing it.  I added some hangers and the hat boxes.  I will be putting it in our Holiday House so I hope some special little girl gets it for Christmas.

Christmas

I was in Wal Mart a while back and they had these lid inserts on sale for a package of 12 for a dollar.  I love that they already had the red checked on the lids.  So quick and easy added images and a little decoration and how I have some cute Christmas decorations to sale at the Christmas House this year.  I should  have bought a few more packages.   Oh well.

KEY BOX

 I found this wonderful box at Good Will.  I used printed napkins to collage on it.  I like How it turned out-what do you think?

Thimble Tassels

I love thimbles and have collected them for a while.  I saw this done a while back and wanted to try it.  I love how playful they turned out.

Altered Mouse Traps

 I made a few altered mouse trap.  I think they will make interest not holders.  I added magnets to the backs.

Rings

 I made these rings using the handle of the spoon

Charmed

This is my take on a game piece charm bracelet.  Fun Fun Fun to do.

A Couple Of Fairies

I love making most things in to fairies.  These are little vintage salt shakers.  I made these last year for our Holiday House.  And when I found these small shakers  I decided to do a couple more.

Childs Play

 Another altered jar.  (Cild's Play)  Image is from Paper Whimsy.

My Baby Angel

 I have some old porcelain doll parts and decided to make a baby angel.

 I painted the porcelain and use paper clay to attach her to the bottle.  (Part a few treasure in the bottle first) I also aged the porcelain to look old.

Dressed her in vintage linens add her wings and a large bow to her gown.  I like how she turned out.  What do you think?

How To Catch A Fairy

 I created this little fairy in a jar.  The image is from "Paper Whimsy" (love their images)  and add embellishments.

Little Books

I found these little blank books at Joann's.  Collage them for extra little gifts

Round Robin

 These are the pages I made for the round robin Art For The Created Mind hosted.  Mary's theme was "Something To Believe In".

This was such a fun and talent was fantastic.  I received my book back and each page is wonderful  Thanks to the artist who created in my book.  I will treasure it always.

Box

 I used napkins to paper mache this box. Added velvet ribbon and a few embellishments.

Buckets & Frames

Love what Debbie Hodge had for us this month.  We had these three pails and all these cute little frames with wonderful vintage images.

Debbie talked us through each step in creating these.  I love them and can't wait to see what she has in store for us next month.

Cork Tassels

 Tassel are made with chains ribbon and lots of little treasures.  The only hard part was drinking all that wine  (ha ha)

I sanded the corks to remove the wine logo and push a wire though the cork0made loops on the ends and added the embellishments.

Round Robin

 My pages for the Round Robin.  Fun spread to do.

Crown With Nest

 Another great monthly kit from Swoon With Deb Hodge.  This so pretty in real life, I wish the photos would have turn out better.

New Dolls
