Can I Come Home?

OK, so I ventured off again!  I'm ADD like that.  I'm back!  I have recently decided that I truly AM the Funky Art Queen.  Funky in that I can't stay on any one task for too long of a period!  LOL.....I like making jewelry which is what I have been doing.  But, I have to be able to move freely about the craft world and I figure since I have deemed myself Queen, then I can do that.  Any objections?  LOL

It has been a very inspiring week for me.  Almost too much wonderful and creative stimulation to share!  But, of course I have to share......



Did you know that Lady Gaga and Polaroid teamed up last year for creative ideas?  Either go to Google and search for Lady Gaga+Polaroid or go to Polaroid.com and check it out.  That is if you care anything about Polaroid.  I'm a finnatic actually.  Now, take a look at the picture above.  That is a "Plush" are you familiar with Plushes or Plushies?  I kind of knew about them but then I heard the best Podcast on Craftsanity today about Kristen Rask, owner of Schmancy, a Seattle shop featuring "fun and quirky handmade toys"!  Kristen has three books that are published and one of them is called "Plush You"

Yin Yang Valentine
Lately I have been drawn to felt projects.  Have you seen all the Felt Food on Etsy?  So many fun things.  I made this Yin and Yang heart last night using the softest felt I have ever "felt" hee hee. Today I decided that I just had to make some  felt chocolate covered strawberries.  I found the perfect tutorial here.  I don't know who I will give them too or why I need to make them but they are too cute and no calories at all!

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
