The Pink Artist Project



I finally finished my runner up prize art donation for the Pink Artist Project for Breast Cancer Awareness. I used a beautiful pink printed fabric for the fabric beads. I used fresh water pearls and rose quartz for the accent beads. A wonderful friend of mine donated a bracelet to me that had the pink ribbons on it. After much trial in design of the necklace, I decided to only use one of them for the center pendant. It is a really pretty piece to wear and I hope you win it.

I just have to say that I believe this is an awsome project...and I'm so proud of Monica for diving into this huge project. I admire her for her selflessness and drive to help others. Please take a moment to consider contributing to this. Take a look here: Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

On another note, I am so proud and excited about my latest necklace that I designed. I called it "Sun, Moon, and Stars". I think it turned out well. I have listed it and several other new things in my shop. Hope you will come and shop a bit and tell your friends to come and visit my store. Hugs to all.

FAQ! It's been a while since I've been blogging--about the time, probably that I won your self-portrait contest. I have a new blog. Just started it yesterday, so it's not very exciting. I'm glad you hear you are well. I added you to my blog roll so I can check in and see what great projects you are creating. I love that you are doing jewelry. I don't have the patience to do it, so I have even a greater appreciation for those who do. Good for you and congrats on this!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Lost Sole Challenge

childs shoe in front of hs Originally uploaded by Funky Art Queen I'm starting to wonder if I am the only one that sees all these single shoes on the road. This is not the first time I have addressed this isue on my blog . I see at least one single shoe every day on the highway or a street in town. I don't understand where all these shoes come from. Every time I see a shoe on the road, I wonder how it got there.?.....I wonder what story goes with the shoe. If it is a childs shoe like this one, I wonder if a mother is going crazy searching the house for this shoe? Why just one shoe and not the pair of shoes?! I see shoes on the road all the time. They are just not always in the most convenient places for photographing. But, on occasion, these single shoes are in a location that I feel comfortable enough to stop and photograph them. The particular shoe was spotted in front of the Big Spring High School on 11th place. It was late evening in the summer so I felt very comfortable in

Funky and Proud

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all who responded to the last post. You are all so smart and insightful. I think after much thought and several good conversations with my friends, I feel better about this whole idea. My conclusion, I do many different things that fall under the "mixed media" category...even the jewelry. I have this never ending curiosity and desire to learn new techniques. Whatever I am working on at the moment is satisfying my creative cravings...if not, I don't do it. If I don't enjoy something....I don't do it. It is that simple. The "Funky Art Queen" thing? It occured to me that the people that would be put off by my d.b.a. would be those that most likely would not be drawn to my art in the first place. Thanks again. I just love every one of you. Next blog......not all about me I promise. HUGS
