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.

Dumpster Diving Diva

Dumpster Diving Diva Yes, I have to say, I probably looked something like this yesterday. I'm hoping that my bo - hiney did not look so much like this one though. OK, are you ready for this Lucy Ricardo story? It was Monday and I was working. I parked in the hospital parking lot and was going to go in and market to all the social workers. I spotted a trash dumpster and decided I should take advantage of that and clean the trash out of my car. (When you work out of your car...you are constantly cleaning trash out). So, I gathered up all trash and proudly walked over to the dumpster that I was parked so close to. I'm always so proud of myself for making do on the run. I proudly released my trash into the dumpster and before it hit the bottom I realized I also released my car keys! DANG IT! I could see them but for the life of me, I could not reach them. First, I looked all around for witnesses (none) so I dipped in slightly with my arm reaching as far as it could.....no go. Not

NO WATER REQUIRED FABRIC FLOWERS

I finished these fabric flowers yesterday. I loved the polkadot material. I just used fabric stiffener and I baked them some to make the fabric hard. I hot glued the stems and tied pretty ribbon. These are my kinda flowers......I can't kill these. Just dust and go. LOL Then after thinking about it a bit, I decided to make some round ones....kinda like pansies. That was not enough though.....I wanted them to be sort of primitive so I tea dyed them and baked them to stiffen. I also added polyurthane.....which by the way, I don't like as it seems to have a very mild stickiness even after they dried. So we live and learn....anyway....here they are. Then I decided to so something else with fabric....something different and unique. Oh my goodness, sometimes I can't leave well enough alone. I do not like this creation but I like the concept so I might have to play with the idea some more. I wanted to make a fabric sculpture piece of art that you could hang on the wall. This is
