Welcome to my blog-I hope you enjoy!

A Photo Album With Joni Russell

 We made this wonderful poto album with Joni Russell.
 sn't the binding fantastic?
 She gave us pages and pages of family photos to use. Lots of time cutting them out and then browning the edges to make them look vintage


 We used stamps to embellish some of the pages


 ribbon for others-plus a little bit of lace






 Some pages we stamped first and other we stamp after






















what a fun and great class-thanks Joni

Just A Necklace

Here is my easy necklace I made.  I just made all the beads up first and then attached to the chain

Spoons

I used Paper Whimsy's images for the spoons.  I bend the handle around to the back, attach the images and sealed them with diamond glaze.  added the ribbon and a rhinestone

a license Plate Necklace

I used old license plates to make this necklace.  I cut out hearts. So many heart by hand.  Drilled holes and attached to the chain.

Another Doll

 I love making her.  I used medal paint which I then distressed.

A Little Mermaid

 I painted this box - then stamped it - distressed and sealed

Doll

 I always wanted one of these dolls but never found one.  So when Paper Whimsy and Retro Cafe came up with cut outs to make one-I jump at the chance.

A Little Steam Punk

 These cut out also come in many shapes here is a cabinet-with steam punk.  painted stamped, added some paper from Graphic 45 and added some chain.



Another Cut Out

 Here is another cut out I altered. The face is a copy of an old china doll.  And filled the box with goodies.


Etch Medal Bracelets

 Here are the bracelets I made using the etched medal from Joni Russell class.
Bend them over a mandrel. Added hole and chain.  On the one in front I cut a v on the sides.  Sealed with a medal sealer

A Couple More Dolls

 I have falling in love with these cut out dolls.  These had a frame cut out in their chest-so glue a picture I like and Diamond Glazed over them.  Added a bird cage to the first one and a sterling silver heart to the other one



Easter

 Debbie Hodge had these wonderful eggs to dress up- I did them last year, with paint, German glass glitter and lots of embellishments.
This year Debbie had this wonderful crown package to create with.  Love love love-the crown came already with a heavy amount of German glass glitter-so just had to embellish-lots of 6000 glue used.

Angel Watching

 Here is another doll cut outs I have payed with
 I think I like her a lot. With paper and paint you can really have fun making these

Angels

 love playing with these cut out shapes-so much fun to come up with ways to arts them up.
 Paper Whimsy and a retro Cafe have a wonderful selection of these wonderful dolls.


Debbie Hodge- wonderful kit

This was a kit from Debbie Hodge.  I finished it a while back and hung it in my living room-love it

Etching At Small Cleverness

 Another class with Joni Russell.  Etching on medal.  We used copper tubing and made this vessel.  And also etched on metal sheets.  We used copper, brass and silver.  I going to make bracelets and a few other things with the sheets.
A Small Cleverness is a wonderful store in Orang Park, FL.  Donna has the most wonderful things and she has so many classes to choose from.  Love this store-wish I lived closer.
