Another JuJu Doll


Her Name is: Beauty


I finished her today. I am in my cyclic funk this weekend and can't seem to get inspired. This happens from time to time. I think my brain just needs to rest sometimes to recharge. But, when I'm like this, I like to finish projects I have on the back burner. This was one of them. I still have several of these to do because I already glued their little heads to their little bodies! I'm thinking of doing a Valentine JuJu for a friend. I also want to make an ATC doll out of a queen of hearts playing card for another friend for Valentines. Let's see if I actually do it. I always think if I write it then I will remember.

Mermaid Treasures
Here is the altered tryptich mermaid collage. I called it "Mermaid Treasures". I really was not pleased with the letters on the side. I am thinking of changing them to scrabble or some other type. These are kind of metallic and they are raised by a little thing behind them. Not digging them at all. But, it will work for now. OK, back to laundry and perhaps a little snappy nappy.
Rhea, if you read this, I hope you and Ronetta and Jessica are having a fabulous time. Hugs!

Yumm...Your tryptich is very nice. I like the letters. I did a piece and used beach glass on it for a funky look.

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.

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.

Found Object Jewelry

First of all I have to say a big thanks to all of you who commented about Cody's departure. I feel like printing all that out and sending it in Cody's first letter. He knows how I am about my blog friends. You are all precious to me and you don't know how much it helps to hear your comforting words. I'm doing better. Just kinda antsy to get our first call. I have paper and pen ready by the phone so we can get his address. They are not allowed to give it until they get there. Enough about that! I have dove into my found object box and started making some found object jewelry. This weekend, I learned how to drill metal, hammer it out if needed and make it have a faux patina. I played for several hours with many pieces like washers, watch parts, and all kinds of things I have found on the ground. Well, most of it I found. My husband finds little treasures for me as do some of my friends. It's funny because when they give me some little metal object they picked up off ...
