Welcome to my blog-I hope you enjoy!

Fairy Lights

 I used white glue water down a little on the insides of the jar.  Than added german glass glitter-let dry and added the battery light to the inside.  With the light I wrapped wire around with a handle to hang on the top of the jar, so it would be easy to turn it on by putting it out.

Little elf stockings

I got these wooden Elf stocking on sale a couple of years ago.  I painted them and then added german glass glitter.  Attached tacks and ribbon for hanging.

Suitcase

 I got this fantastic case a while back at the flea market.  It was about half full of old bet up hinges.
 I clean it up and painted it.  Than attached vintage post cards. Sealed it.
 I lined the inside with material.

Little Houses

 I made these for our Holiday House.  Palatka Art League  has a Holiday House every year were we sell our arts and crafts.

Boxes

 Monthly kit from Debbie Hodge-Love these so much-I think they will look fantastic for Christmas.




Poison Bottles

 This is a swap for Art For The Creative Mind-made two apothecary poison bottles
 I used bottles I found at thrift stores.  I tinted the insides by using dropping a couple of drops of inks inside.  I added a few items inside the bottles.  Than added some labels on the out side which I age using ink pads.  Added some stoppers and wrapped with cheese cloth-age with coffee.
 I used some brass filagree which I aged with Novacan.

A Little Something

 I made these using dominos-first I stamped them-than used inks by dropping drops on them.  Added different chains to turn them into necklaces.

A Little Christmas

 I used round wood cut outs for the base.  painted them and added some glitter-added the Christmas shape-and then added the tinsel garland around the edge.

the tree id wood-painted silver and then wrapped tinsel garland around-then added the glitter snow flakes

While Cleaning Out The Attic

 I found doll blanks while cleaning out the attic.  And decided to make some dolls with vintage lines and use a few of the doll sweaters I had.
 Well here they are.  I can't wait to place them in the store.

Let's Play Dress Up

 This was a paper macho dress from body, which I painted cover with vintage lace and some fancy fringe.    I used a candle stick holder for the base.



A Little Wooden Bench

I found this little bench at Good Will.  It is about 4" by 5".  So I altered to hang and added flowers and the saying love.  It was a fun and quick project.

Creepy Altered Spool Book

 Art For The Creative Mind altered spool book-theme On The Dark Side.
 I used a large vintage spool and a vintage spindle with 3 wood balls for the base.  I used vintage ribbon with roses on it, for the pages of the  book.  Added some vintage words from a book and a few embellishments.
 For the top I wrapped wire with crepe paper then added some glitter and the word creepy with using yarn to attach to the wire.
 I used an image of Marie and some bat wings to her.


Shabby Chic Tags

Art For The Creative Mind tag swap.  We were to create two tags -shabby chic with using some clay element. I used paper clay and used two different stamps, that I push into the clap.  Cut around the clay and smooth edges.  I let them air dry.  Then used a light color brown on them and then use a gold to add dept.  Added papers to the tags and then embellished with vintage lace some rhinestone trim and vintage buttons.

A Place For Sweet Treats

 A quick and easy project.  I found this dish and had this brass candle stick.  I painted the candle stick and glued the dis to it.
A few sweets and I have a great serving piece.
