I made this little beaded ornament to thank an "Angel of a lady". She is only 2" high. Her body is a wooden bead and her head is a glass bead. She will fit just right in a small padded envelope. So, she is off to her new home.
I had fun making the flock in the box so I made a couple more, using images from Paper Whimsy.
Paper Whimsy swap "Flock In A Box". We had to use paper so I copied the images from Paper Whimsy on hand made paper. I made a little dress form from wire and paper to hang the dress on. Everything is ready to go. She has her wings and crown to complete her fairy princess out fit. I sure hope Julie likes it.
So, excited-I received this beautiful doll from Kristen Bolton. She is around 3" and beaded front and back-plus she made this little pouch for her to rest in. I love her. Kristen is an angel-thank you so much.
These are the pages I did in Joy's book for our Round Robin. Her theme is "Blue" I love the shades of blue so it was a lot of fun-problem was stopping with only four pages-it would have been so easy to keep going and going until there was no more room for any one else to create in her book.
This is a swap for "The
This was so much fun-I made a collage sheet using left over pieces of paper that I had used in
Miss Hazel is a doll I created for the doll group I belong too-The challenge was to create a animal doll.
Miss. Hazel is a apprentice wizard and she is attaining her information and learning from Gaylynn. Gaylynn has been a wizard for a while and I will be adding her tomorrow. She just has to finish her last lesson with Hazel.
On our way to Nina's class Saturday Robin spotted this peacock just walking down the side of the highway and there were no houses near by. We turned a round to get a picture but he already was heading back in the woods. But at least the wonderful colors show up. We never know what we will see on our way some where.
The colors this month were indigo. So I thought what better then denim my favorite thing to wear. So glad to have finished now they are on their way to our host Marnie. Can't wait to see the other artist fat pages.
This is what I made from Nina Tarnuzzer's Mermaid class. It was at the cutest little shop in Orange Park, Florida called "A Small Cleverness".
I designed this necklace and earring set and if you want a chance to win all you have to do is leave a comment and become a follower of my blog. If you are a follower already you just need to leave a comment. I will draw a name for the winner on the 29 of June.
A swap using just one color-you can use different shades of the color but one color. As you can see I choice is green.
I used these cheap flock birds that I purchase from the Dollar Tree and used vintage music sheets to cover them. I used Mod Podge to attach the strips of music sheet. Then cover them in silver glue glitter. I added rhinestones for eyes. Finish them off with a bow and some more rhinestones. I thought this would be a quick and easy project. But it seen to take me a long time, but I do like now they look when finished..
I so love these. I had these mirrors for years, and one of the mirrors broke. So, the idea was born to make frames out of them. I used some vintage images and used Diamond Glaze to seal them. Added the vintage lace and a rose. I attached a hanger on the back and they are ready to hang. Now I know what I can do with the other vintage mirrors I have.
This months fat pages (Artchix Sister Site) are yellow and cream. I wove cream ribbon and yellow paper for the background. Added Artchix images. I used a feather stamp on the main background.
These are atcs. Maggie Lind is hosting this swap (The Sum Of All My ATC group) We could weave any kind of material from paper, ribbon, yarn, anything. I choose to use paper and ribbon. And then I wove a piece of thread also through it. Boy, this was fun. It brought back times as a child-remember those pot holder kit-with the medal frame. Well I had one and love to make the pot holders. Which of course they were a little small to really use-but it was fun.
This is what I collage for the "Merry Month Of May". We were to use a 8" by 10" canvas. We had to use a blossom, bee. bird and some clip board. It is on it's way to England. I hope she likes it. (I can't say who it is going to.)
Sandy's theme is the movies. I choose "Samson And Dalila". It was a hard choice because I love movie, especially old movies. I sure hope Sandy likes them. One more book to go in this RR.
I can hardly wait to see mine and what everyone has created.
What a fun swap this was. Lenna Andrews always comes up with the most interesting swaps. This one is for little books ( no bigger then 4"). These are the ones I made-the one in the middle is a round 3" and the smallest is just over 1". (Theu had to have at least 4 pages and up to 24 pages.) You could decorate the inside or choose not to.
I decided to choose a theme and decorate according. I had so much fun and can't wait to see what I will receive from other artist.
I had these test tubes for a while and decided to make them into button holders. I filled them with vintage buttons and cut up a paper doilie to decorate the tube. Added some vintage ribbon and a paper cut out and a small flower. I don't know if I will use them for gifts or in the Holiday House this year. Decisions, Decisions don't know what to do.
Paper Whimsy Post Card Swap-Theme Friends and what they mean to you. I used a vintage post card for the back ground for the image of the little girl from Paper Whimsy. The post card was a gift from my dear friend Sue Cervantez. I copied the post card so I could keep the original
My doll for Linda Grungey's Artist Doll Swap. All her clothes are from vintage material. Her dress is from a child's vintage slip and the lace apron is from a vintage lace collar. The flowers are also vintage. To her wings I added two vintage crystals. Her boots are made from wool felt and her hair is also wool. I had fun making her and I hope who ever gets her will love her also.
I got this wonderful little kit from "Navel Jelly Studios" It was fun and easy to do. So now I have a little book that is really a drawer to hide some tiny treasures in.
ATC for lottery on Artchix Sister Site. Theme by Lisa Jackson "Queen For A Day"
Artchix Sister Site "Fat Book Pages" Swap. The colors this month are green and purple. These are the fronts.
These are the backs.
This swap is your on style-Mags is our host and the group "The Sum Of All My ATCs. Just had fun putting the colors together and then butterflies. All was done with paper and a glue stick. The butterflies and bee had their own sticker on their backs.
I used Paper Whimsy image and background. I used a stamp on the background-took vintage crepe paper and made a gather circle-cut the face out glued to the circle and added flowers.
Here are a couple of ATCs I did for the group "ATCS For Fun" . The theme was hearts
