Now on to the Christmas Crafting

I made this Fairy Picture for a good friend. I didn't have to buy anything extra for this project and I love that. I used an Picture frame, Polymer Clay, a washer (for the Moon), Super Glue Gel (LOVE THIS STUFF), and alot of GLITTER!!! I hope she likes it.

I just ordered my Canvas bags and they should be here this week. Thank you to all that gave me great Positive feed back about my "For the Children Pictures". It made me feel better about them.

I have downloaded my favorite Christmas CDs on my IPOD So I am ready for some Christmas creating.

Happy Creating.

Next...

Spiderman and the Punk Rock Skeleton.

Now that Halloween is over ( I have to say one of my least favorite Holidays), my favorite time of year begins. I love the time between November 1st and January 2. I have always loved decorating, baking, and creating during this time of year. Now I can add watching my kids to this list. I love showing them and including them in FamilyTraditions, and watching their eyes light up with the magic of the season.

I have a lot of projects in the works which is odd for me, I am usually still painting or gluing on Christmas Eve. Not to say that because I have started earlier that I still won't be painting and gluing on Christmas Eve, but I am optimistic.

Happy Creating!!

My attempt at drawing

Wow 2 post in 2 days, will wonders never cease.

So I am starting to work on an Eco-Friendly Project and these are 2 drawings (if that is what you want to call them) that I came up with. I have never been the best sketcher, but again I am trying to step out of my comfort zone.

Hopefully I will come up with some better drawings as the project moves ahead.

The first drawing was done with all chalk and the 2nd was done in watercolor (that I took from the kids art supplies shhhh)

Happy creating!!

The Mermaid that swam to me and other creative stuff

I received my Mermaid Swap from Ang.
She does Great work I just love the Color. I have it sitting near my workbench on a little easel.







This is the ATC she Sent me also a beautiful piece of art.
Love it.














I took a few creative leaps this past week. First I have attempted to create my own background paper. The pink one is done with tissue paper (from the Dollar Store) Mod Podge and some paper hearts made with a paper punch I never thought I would use. Oh yes and Glitter.

The second one is done using strips of paper and glue.

I am trying to step out of my comfort zone, baby step I guess.

Treasures in the attic

For those of you that don't know I live in the house that I grew up in. We bought from my parents about 3 years ago. So all of my childhood treasures are still in the attic all boxed up and some labeled. I was up there today looking for some of my old Barbie things for Laiken and I came acrossed an unmarked box. There was a few books and on the bottom was my old Fisher Price Printer's Kit. I loved this when I was younger and thought that it had been sold in a garage sale I am very glad I was wrong. Ron asked if it was for the kids and without hesitation I said NO, ok well maybe someday but for now it is all mine!!! And wouldn't you know I just went and spent money on letter stamps (pretty much the same size and font)

Mermaid Swap

This past month I participated in my first Swap with the Glitter Sisters . I was very nervous about sending something I made to someone I have never meet. I decided I needed to step out of my comfort zone and step up to the challenge. The theme was Mermaid and the following pictures is what I came up with.

I used poylmer clay for the mermaid, I used a dolloar store photo album cover and covered it with tissue paper and card stock and finally a small mirror from the dollar store.

This is the ATC I made for the swap.
