Well, I love pomegranates, I know...crazy right? They are messy, they stain EVERYTHING, and are not that cheap to buy! They can be tart and the seeds are not always that tasty. So why do I love them so much? Well, I do like the flavor, and I like how they pop in my mouth...hehehe..and I think they are the GODS favorite fruit. They are healthy and they are very photogenic! So, I thought I would share with you a couple of photos I took of this fun messy fruit.

Updated my flickr site, new earrings...guess what they are made from?

Bird Nests

2011-10-07T19:49:00.000-07:00

Who doesnt like bird nests? Lately I have been seeing lots of wired up bird nests, so I did the hunt and found a fun easy tutorial online at http://www.jewelrylessons.com/ . The tutorial was so easy that I only had to look at the pictures to figure it out. So, this is the first pair I made and I really like how they turned out. I also made 2 pendents to go along with the earrings. I then proceeded to make another set but using bronze wire which I still need to take all the pictures. I like both but I am leaning towards the bronze ones as my favorite..You will see what I mean once I get those pictures up..Hope you like these earrings as much as I do!

THANKS....

2011-09-19T19:42:00.000-07:00

Thank you all very much for stopping by and leaving comments on my Blog Soup. This has been such an adventure for me really. I remember the day I received my soup mix and was in AWE at all the beads I had at my disposal...LOL I still have a small handful left and hope to make more earrings out of them. Also a special THANKS for all those who are now following my blog. I appreciate it very much...

Bead Soup Revealed! More Pics

2011-09-17T00:01:00.002-07:00

I put up more pictures on my Flickr you can take a look at. They are much larger and you can see how beautiful the beads really are. Again, THANKS to Collette, my soup partner, for ALL of the beautiful beads! I dont usually create jewelry with larger beads, I tend to use smaller ones, so this was a little challenging as to what I was going to create. I really enjoyed this challenge and am so glad I came across Lori Anderson's website. THANK YOU LORI...you are awesome!!!

FYI, I have to mention this....I created this simple layout using My Memories Suite 2. It is a fairly new program that I just started using and absolutely love it. They have a ton of pre-made templates and all you have to do is insert the picture...move it to the spot you want it on...and viola...it automatically puts it into the spot. You move the picture around until you like the position then move on to the next picture...so simple in creating a great collage of your work. I have been using Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro..even Elements, and this is probably the easiest program to do a quick layout. Fun stuff...

Great tutorial on how to make a Heart with wire

2011-08-20T12:58:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love how this is taught. I use different brand of pliers that work in a similar way and know how to use them, but I did learn how to make this heart. I dont do a lot of wire work, but I want to! I mostly use copper since silver is so expensive and I would hate to waste any little tiny piece. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did...

Got my yummy Bead Soup today!

2011-08-17T20:40:00.000-07:00

I am totally excited with my bead soup! I cant wait to get my creativity flowing to put something together! THANK YOU Soooo much Collette! I absolutely love them all! I sure needed this today. I learned my cousins son was killed in a car accident last night after his birthday party so I have not been feeling too well today. He was the same age as my boys (and my brother and sisters, we all have boys), 23, so young! So it really has been a hard on my family.

These beads sure put a smile on my face!

Bet you cant guess what these beads look like!

2011-08-14T20:43:00.000-07:00

LOL...I thought this was a good way to show what I am sending off to Collette! Try and guess what they look like! Hehehe

Mermaid Zentangle

2011-08-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

Well, why stop at making one right? But this one is much different I think. I used a larger marker so the lines are much bolder. I still need to make her flipper. I have ideas but my mind has been on work these past few days...yes I started back on Wednesday. Had my CPR training today..its getting easier and easier to do. As of now, we no longer have to do the breaths when doing CPR, all you need to do is compressions. Not that I have ever had to use my CPR training, but its good to have. Anyway, I have no name for this zentangle but eventually I will figure it out! If you have any suggestions I would sure love to hear it! OH, if there is anybody out there that knows how to use digitizing software, please give me some advice as to which one you use and how expensive it is. I bought a beautiful Viking Topaz sewing machine and didnt realize I needed to have the expensive software that does NOT come with it in order to use my own designs. I learned it right before I decided to purchase it, and I havent found anything I am really impressed with online. UGH

Blueberry Syrup

2011-08-04T12:12:00.000-07:00

So, now for the really yummy stuff, the syrup!
I did make this a little too sweet I think, but syrup is sweet anyways. Here are the ingredients:

Blueberry Syrup

1 cup water
1 1/c cup powdered sugar
1 tbs pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 to 2 cups frozen blueberries, thawed, rinsed and drained

In a medium sauce pan, put the water, sugar and vanilla extact in. Bring to a boil and let it cook for about 5 minutes. I like to make sure you get a nice thick sauce. You can test this with a candy themometer but I usually just test mine by taking a taste...let it cool slightly on the spoon before you take a taste..you could burn your tongue, plus its thinner when its hot, and you are checking to make sure it is thick enough. If its not thick enough after 5 minutes, continue to boil until you get the results you want. Dont boil too long or you just might get jelly instead...LOL
After you have the right consistency, add your blueberries. Again, bring them to a boil, and continue for a couple of minutes. Test your syrup, and it should be ready to go! I put mine in a jar and let it cool some before serving.

This is a quick and simple recipe! Hope you love the pancakes and blueberry syrup if you give them a try. Drop me a line too if you do!!

Yummy Pancakes and Blueberry Syrup

2011-08-04T11:58:00.000-07:00

Ok, so normally I dont put recipes on my blog...but hey, why not! This morning, a beautiful morning in Northern CA, after getting a really good nights sleep (no dreams or nightmares..LOL) I decided to make something yummy for breakfast. Hubby was still in bed, my youngest is still snoring, so it was up to me and my 2 kitties to put something together! I didnt have any pancake mix, besides I dont usually like the stuff, so I did the hunt online to see what I could find. I found a basic recipe, nothing exciting, but it gave me the basic idea of how to make home made pancakes....So this is my recipe. Now mind you, I cook by scratch, I never measure anything when Im in this mode! So the measurments are not accurate but approximate. But I think they are close enough to what I used....and I also used my new Kitchen Aid mixer...LOVE IT! Why didnt I buy this thing years ago I will never know...LOL Ps, I am trying to go the healthier route in life, so this is my version of a healthy pancake!

As always with anything I teach...read the entire directions before you begin to make.... :-)

Almond Pancakes
1 C. white flour
2/3 c. wheat flour
2/3 almond flour
1 1/2 tablespoon baking powder

Mix these all together, then add:

1/4 cup raw sugar (I think I put more and they were a tiny bit too sweet...so less is better in this case)
1 egg
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt (I think I used a tad more than this, I emptied what was left in my container)
1/2 n 1/2 milk - I used about 1 - 1 1/2 cups, not exactly sure because I added this in as I was mixing to get a nice consistency. So, put one cup in first then as you are mixing, keep adding the milk until you are happy with the consistency. Should be almost like cake batter thickness, not too runny and not too thick!

I used Half N Half because I think it adds a nice richness to the pancakes. You can also use Almond milk or regular milk. I dont suggest water, I think the pancakes would be a little bland and not as fluffy
Mix well but don't over mix. Even though I used my Kitchen Aid, I still mixed the wet ingredients by hand.

Once you get all the ingredients mixed, start cooking away! Makes about 15 pancakes approx. 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inches thick...

Chris

The different lengths of necklaces and what to wear them with!

2011-06-28T14:02:00.000-07:00

Lengths of Necklaces

I found these measurements online and thought it would be a great addition to know for us Jewelry designers. I added my own twist on these and hope you are able to use this.

Bib necklace

Honestly I have never heard of a bib necklace before, but I think I understand what this would look like. If you can imagine what a bib for a baby looks like and turn it into a necklace, that’s what it would be. A bib necklace has multiple strands of stepped stones and such. So the larger stone would be on the bottom and gradually get smaller on the sides.

Collar

Approximately 12-14 inches in length. Fits snugly in the middle of neck. Collar necklaces add an elegant look and feel to any wardrobe! Looks great with scoop neck collars. Very Victorian look and feel with this style.

Choker

Approximately 14-17 inches in length. A choker adds a little classy look and feel to any wardrobe. There are a ton of reasons to wear a choker. They are sexy, can be wide or thin, or multiple strands. Many people who are into Goth love this style of necklace.

Princess

Approximately 18-20 inches in length. These type necklaces are very popular and common. Not too long and not too short. They dress up any wardrobe as does any necklace. You can go with a simple look or a heavily beaded look to feel like a princess!

Matinee

Approximately 20-24 inches in length. This style necklace is a good choice for sweaters or professional attire. I have seen these with multiple length strands and are quite attractive. They do tend to be a little on the heavy side depending on the size of beads used.

Opera

Approximately 28-34 inches in length. This is worn as a single or double strand necklace. It is very a very classy style and goes great with high neck collars. I can see these worn at the opera and holding those snooty glasses..LOL,

Rope, Sautoir, Lariat

Approximately 45 or more in length. Elegant and sensuous, the famous Coco Chanel pearl rope is an example. I see these a lot in magazines, but never have worn one. They look fun to wear! Lariats have unattached ends for knotting or wrapping.

Magrat is finished!

2011-06-18T18:27:00.000-07:00

Well, she took me only a year...not bad I suppose for me! But Magrat is finished and she is heading east right now! I will put up more pics of her soon. Hope you like her...

Ahhh...nothing like nearing the end of the school year!

Ok, so it looks like we are finally done with the rain for now. I still see clouds but they are quickly passing us by and the sun is shining! Last weekend my oldest received his Masters Degree in International Policy. He is still on the hunt for a job and with lots of prayers and luck, he will have one soon. My youngest still has some time to go before he gets his Bachelors in the Gaming industry. What does all this mean? Well, it means that in about a year, I will once again have my empty nest. My house will stay cleaner...no offense to my youngest...but he can add to the pile! And my food bill will be far much lower... Even though my youngest has lost a few lbs, he still eats in mass consumption! He is 23 and rather tall, so he needs lots of nourishment! LOL And, our electricity will no longer be out of world!

Then, in two more weeks, I will be a free woman again...well...I will be free for 2 months til I start back to work. That is the beauty of working in Education, you get the holidays and summers off unless you work summer school, which I have not done in a long time. I figure the summer is my time! So with that said, I will be giving much of my energy to my blog and my internet shops. So much to give and little time to give it!

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day, I strongly support our men and women in the armed forces and wish them all well. Being a wife of a retired sailor I understand the bond and support they all need to hold our country together! God Bless them all!

Great Photo Collage Tutorial and Website!

2011-05-19T07:14:00.000-07:00

Ok, so its not my tutorial, but this is an awesome tutorial I got from a group I belong to. Its for making a photo collage. You have one large image and 3 small ones. She goes into depth showing how to create the template. There are great step by step images with arrows pointing you in the right direction. I also found this site to have multitudes of tuts and tips for free! I love free stuff! Enjoy!

Ooops...

2011-05-18T07:37:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I have been slacking off a little, well not totally! I did promise more tips and I was gently reminded that I have not been fulfilling my end of my own promise. So, I have been working on a big project and I wanted to present it to you little at a time. I am still working on the first half of it. Sooo please hang on just another week or so. I will have more time in about a month to put more effort into putting more things together. Thanks for your patients and being a follower...

Extra HUGS...

Happy Valentines Day

2011-02-14T08:02:00.000-08:00

Nothing like falling a little behind in life. Its been way too long since I wrote on my blog. I hope you are enjoying your new year and it is better than the last. Life has been pretty much the same for me, as always I end up doing too many things. Anyway, today is Valentines Day, so make it a special day for those you love! I had my surprise sitting on the stove this morning. Got a beautiful dozen Orange Roses. My husband knows me well! Red roses are beautiful too, but I prefer the orange or yellow ones...they are all so pretty! I will have to put up some photos a little later today. Enjoy your day, mine has yet to begin!
XOXO

My Word for the year!

2011-01-08T00:04:00.000-08:00

FUN SITE!

2011-01-07T11:11:00.000-08:00

If you like to play with words like I do, this site is really cool! Visual Thesaurus puts together a cluster of words together for you with one little click of your mouse! You get a fun diagram plus all the examples of the word you are looking up and the possibilities you can mean with that one little word. I recently joined this online Scrapbooking Journaling group, its a years adventure in creating a journal using just the one word you pick! So I did the hunt online because that is how I am....and I love a thesaurus cause that is how I am...and viola! This is inexpensive to join for a year, only $20 and you can cancel at any time which I like just in case I change my mind. But I doubt it. You can always just do the copy and paste routine too if you prefer, but this puts it all together for you with just one little click... I know now what I am going to do for my Journal, I will keep you up to date as time goes by. I may put together a different blog, we shall see! Have fun checking out this site! I know I did...hehehe

Happy New Year!

2011-01-06T15:14:00.000-08:00

Ok, so Im a little late, but you know....really...its alright! LOL Ive been busy trying to figure out what my new year is going to bring me! I made a really cool bracelet so far, joined an art journal group, re-upped my subscription to Doll Street Journal, made more stitch markers today, and joined a gym! So, I think my new year will be a good one! Here is my newest bracelet I thought I would share with you first since it is done...LOL It is mine, and not for sale. I do like to keep what I make sometimes...hehehe... Hope you like it! OH, just so you know, I am also working on another little article about photographing your art! Just some things I have learned over the past few years of doing my own photography and some of the obstacles I have come across...Give me another week or two for the first part of the article. It will be worth the wait I promise!

I am trying a different style and I just love it! I found these really cute bird spacer beads and wasnt quite sure what I was going to do with them. They are much tinier than I thought they would be but so dang cute! I was going through my stash of beads and found these fun looking wired beads. I thought they would be perfect for the birds and sure enough, they are a perfect match! So here are the photos....Let me know what you think!

Again, I have made some dolls for a friend of mine in Ohio. She has ordered 14 dolls now from me! WOW...the fun thing about getting orders from Jenn, is she wants something different each time. I forces me into my creative mode. Sometimes you just get stuck and then Jenn comes along...LOL... Here is a photo of the Mother and Daughter shoot I did today. The girls will head East on Monday. I also have these paintings I did for Jenn. She is the only person I have made these for, each a special request. Thanks Jenn for giving me the opportunity to create these for you!

Heaven

2010-06-13T23:00:00.000-07:00

I strongly believe there is a Heaven. On Weds. June 9th, my Aunt Kathy got her wings and flew to Heaven. She fought long and hard to survive, but the cancer fought harder than what she could do. I am sad and happy. Sad that I will miss her, sad that my Uncle will be alone, sad for my mom for the loss of her younger sister and best friend. But I am also happy that I had her for my aunt, happy she is no longer in pain and suffering, and just happy that she is home with her parents/my grandparents and her older sister/my other aunt. Death is not an easy process in life to deal with, it is confusing. Should one be happy or sad? As you see, I feel it is both. I know things will be fine for those who were so close to her. The hurt will eventually mend, but the memories will never go away.
If there is anything I learned from the passing of my Aunt, is that Ovarian cancer is silent and deadly. I never really paid much attention to it since there was really no need. But now, Ovarian cancer should be further researched and there should be a cure of some kind out there. Most women who get Ovarian cancer are diagnosed way too late. Be aware, always get check-ups on a regular basis. Ask your relatives if anybody in your family has ever been diagnosed with it, or other cancers. Its a terrible disease and it really needs to be cured.....
God Bless you all....

Chris

Im sad...

2010-05-22T19:05:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am sad. My Aunt is not doing well. She was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer level 4 about a year ago. She has been going through Chemo for a long time and just last night I found out she has been hospitalized. I talked to my Mom today, which is my Aunts sister, and explained it all to me. She has been hospitalized because she can not eat. They found an obstruction in her bowels and have her going through this process now of clearing it out. In the mean time, she has acquired pneumonia. I am so sad for her. Her battle has been a rough ride so far, and I fear it is not going to get any easier for her. I live so far away that it makes it difficult for me to visit her. Not that she is up for any kind of company. But at the same time, I don't want to see her in this sad state. She is awfully thin, and my Mom said she does not look well at all. All I can do is sit back and pray for her. She is my favorite Aunt and I am sure she knows how much I love her. My mom told me she wore the earrings I recently made her to her Dr. appt. the day they admitted her to the hospital. It just tears me up inside, but I know she will be just fine no matter what happens. She has been strong so far, but ultimately she will lose the battle since there is no cure for they type of cancer. Please say a prayer for her and her family. Thank you for listening to me, and for saying a prayer for her...

Another great copyright website I found

2010-05-22T18:49:00.001-07:00

I guess you can say Im hooked on this subject right now. I almost forgot about this one and I hope it is helpful to you....

Copyrighting your work

2010-05-21T17:58:00.000-07:00

Recently in one of my groups I belong to, we got onto the topic of copyrighting. We have all seen this symbol and perhaps even us it ourselves, but do we really know what it means for us? I know I don't understand it completely myself, so I thought I would research it a little. I found a few websites that were quite helpful in understanding what you can do to protect your art. I hope you find these sites as helpful as I have...Enjoy
http://www.home-jewelry-business-success-tips.com/copyright-information-for-artists.html

I actually get the newsletter from Rene. Her site is extremely helpful to artists in a multitude of ways. She is geared mainly for Jewelry Artists but you can never have enough information to guide you in the right direction.

http://art-support.com/copyright.htm

This website I found through a search engine. I still have yet to read it all, but it looked quite interesting and has tons of information here for us Artists.

http://www.funnystrange.com/copyright/

Now this site is specifically for us Collage Artists. I still need to explore it a bit more but it looks like there is a lot to learn here too!

http://www.arsny.com/basics.html

Again, another one I found through a search engine and found there is a ton of information here to learn about copyrighting. I wish I had more time to read up on all of these sites, perhaps in the near future since I will be off for the summer....So, enjoy these sites and I hope you find answers to your questions here.

Artisan Fair in Vacaville

2010-05-09T16:27:00.000-07:00

Well, May is flying right past us already ~ Last weekend was the Artisan Fair in Vacaville and I had a very nice time. It was a first time event, so the crowd was not there, but it wasnt really slow either. I did pretty good considering it was a first time event. The event was not huge, or over crowded which was actually quite nice. I saw many friends I have not seen in years, one advantage to doing a local show. I do plan on returning next year as I can see this event becoming larger in time. Very nice people, plenty of food and music. Perhaps next time there will be more vendors who sell home made food items. There was no shortage of jewelry artists, good thing was we all had our own style. Here are a few photos of my booth. I kept it quite simple this time and I receive a lot of compliments. I really do believe that a clean creative booth makes a difference.

This is my hubby kickin back...He was a great help!

This is a close up of my displayed work..People really enjoyed the flat stones I used to put my earrings on...

I put the dolls in the center. I got lots of great compliments on them too... Someday they will have a home other than mine...LOL Later that afternoon the wind picked up big time...so we had to put the dolls away...the wind blows them down and they are glass, so I dont really want any broken ones!

Ipod/Cell Phone Knitted Pouch...

2010-04-25T15:29:00.000-07:00

Well...I had a little fun playing again. I made this really cute Ipod/Cell phone pouch last week and finally put it all together. I am trying to get back into knitting... Knitting is relaxing to me but only if I dont make a mistake...which I do frequently...LOL. My cute little pouch is for sale at ArtFire which is another outlet for my goodies to be sold. I plan on making more of these as time goes on. I am working on getting stuff organized now for the Artisan show this weekend.

http://www.mayartisanfair.com/default.html

Check it out if you get a chance....I think this is going to be a nice show...I do hope the weather holds on to the beautiful sun that we have today....maybe a little less wind though....UGH...

Hope you had a great weekend...

New Bottle Doll!

2010-04-17T11:46:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally got her done, I think! This doll is one of my tallest glass bottle dolls I have made so far. She is just about 12 inches tall! I think she is one of my best so far, although I have one I am working on that will be a tutorial in the future...hopefully by summer if I can get my act together! I don't have a name for her yet but I will be working on that soon too. We recently acquired 2 new kitties, and one of them is sick. But she is going to be just fine. I will post pictures of the girls later. Anyway, they are a handful and I just love em, but they are taking up a little of my play time...well...not really cuz I do play with them...its just a different kind of play time...Hehehehe... So, if you have any suggestions for names for my newest dolly, I am all ears!
Hugs...

Steel wire V.S. oxidized Copper

2010-04-11T13:31:00.000-07:00

I love black wire, and have been interested in how to make my wire change colors with oxidizing. For a long time I could only find nasty steel wire, and great copper wire. But copper wire of coarse is not black. The bead stores here only carry the real shiny black wire and its not quite the look I have been looking for.

Recently I went to OSH and found this really nice black steel wire in 2 different sizes. It worked great to do some wire wrapping but it left my hand black...nasty smelling too! So I used Allergy Jewelry Shield to seal the wire. I am sure there are other types of sealers I could use but it was handy and it worked. I like the look of the wire, its not too shiny and the black does not rub off now.

Now, I finally got my Liver of Sulfur and played with it a little today to see what it does. I have done lots of hunting on line to learn about this product. I do agree that it stinks but it works... I tried eggs and I wasnt impressed. I took a picture of both items to show you the difference. I have not put on any of the Jewelry Sheild yet on the oxidized copper so it is dull. I like both wires. Copper is easy to find, and now for me steel is too. Both are fairly easy to work with, and you really should seal both wires once you get the affect you want.

I still need...notice I used the word NEED...LOL...to explore more with oxidizing copper.

As you can see here, they look quite similar. I think the oxidized copper is a better look myself, and copper is more user friendly. You can solder it, where as steel you can not. So it all depends on what your goal is. For just doing wire wrapping, it may be cheaper and easier to use the steel wire. But to be more creative, go with the copper and deal with the stink of the Liver of Sulfur. I dont think it was all that bad. Less smelly than resin...hehehehe...I hope you like this comparison and let me know if it helps you any at all....

Ravelry

2010-04-04T12:32:00.000-07:00

Wow...well...HOPPY EASTER! Its here already, that means I am off for Spring break! Time has flown so fast, it just amazes me. I am so happy because soon I will be attending this fun Artisan fair, first one like this in my area. I have been busting my rump getting fun stuff made up! Also, as you see by the title of this post, I am now a member of this group. Ravelry is an online group which is all about YARN, another of my favorite items...I dont know how much yarn I have but I know its a dresser full...all 4 drawers are nothing but yarn! But I am not a heavy knitter or crocheter...I am more like an altered art artist...so I use yarn for lots of things...mostly doll hair..but hey...I got plans!!!! So, I make these really fun things I think I had mentioned earlier...markers...beaded up with my style...so, eventually the plan is that I donate sample pieces to Ravelry, the send out boxes to customers, and with some luck they will like their samples and buy them! I was referred to this website by a wonderful customer, Lampy, who really liked my markers and said that this is the place for me to be. I am anxious to get the ball rollin but I have to wait til after May. Then I will submit my samples and I will keep you posted on the progress... Ok, so now...off to making more goodies for the Artisan fair...

Enjoy your day...

No Name....

2010-03-19T19:41:00.000-07:00

Here is my first attempt with resin. I really liked how Wyanne's paintings looked using resin, the richness of the colors are amazing. The photos do no justice for what they really look like. Im not sure I like working with the material though...It stinks something fierce! My eyes watered and my throat burned. I poured the resin in my garage with the door open. My table is set up at the garage door so there was lots of fresh air! I dont know if different brands have different smells, but this one was awful! I know I will do this again because I really do like the end results, and I do want to attempt making jewelry with resin. I think maybe the next time, I will keep a fan near by. Also, I followed the instructions exact, and it took longer for the resin to set. This could be because the weather is still slightly cool here, not much hotter than 70 degrees, and the instructions did say not to use in temperature less than 72 degrees. But I was in the sun during this day. It took about 2 days for it to become less sticky, and slightly smooth. Almost a week later, it still is a little soft and sticky but you can touch it and you wont leave and impression of your fingers...but it will streak! Im not sure how to make it less sticky unless maybe by putting a little of baby oil or glycerin, I am not sure. I still have to try it out. All of the pieces are not totally covered on her. Her antenna sticks out, but I wanted it that way. And her necklace pieces are not totally covered, but I do like it this way too. The rest is covered. I did make it with 2 layers. Its a little hard to tell even not in the photo, but I think maybe the layers were not thick enough to really get the dimensional affect I was after. Overall I am satisfied with the painting, I only hope that it gets easier, less stinky, and continue to be a fun thing to do....

Sassy

2010-03-10T22:28:00.000-08:00

I was asked if I would like to sell my dolls at the Art & Soul Art Gallery in Washington State. I accepted the offer of coarse! So, I needed to make a few more dolls, and this is one of them I completed. I think she is so cute! Susan found my Etsy store and really liked my dolls. This is a big step for me, and I do hope a successful one. Wish me luck! I will have more pictures of her later...but for now...here she is!
PS, I am going to make a painting out of her this weekend. I am teaching a class to our Painting Chapter members on Sunday...this is going to be so fun! I haven't taught a class in a long time...

Lip Doodles

2010-02-24T17:12:00.000-08:00

I was bored at work one day..shhhh...dont tell anyone! LOL...and I drew these lip ideas and thought I would share them. All I ask is use them for yourself and share them with friends...but please dont put them on other websites or blogs without asking me first....THANK YOU! ENJOY!

2010-02-20T14:47:00.000-08:00

Here is another little creation. She is on a 8X10 gallery wrapped canvas. This one was just as fun to create as my first one. I have had this photo of my friends daughter for a long time on my refrigerator. I knew I wanted to do something with it someday. Finally after all these years, she has come to life in my painting. I used a variety of mediums this time. I found watercolor crayons, and water soluble oil sticks. Please feel free to let me know what you think!

My new Domino Necklace

2010-01-16T10:25:00.000-08:00

Ok, after some hard work and hrs of stitching, here is my latest and greatest. I really like the way this turned out. I am seriously considering a tutorial for this, what do you think? This is my painting, I put her on a domino. I glittered her up and added some flat pearls. I haven't done a whole lot of peyote stitching and actually made this by trial and error. The error being the outer beads. I made the strip of beads too long, so I set them aside. Then decided to try making the rest, and I did. Then I slipped the outer beads over the edges and stitched them on and viola! A perfect fit. Now the trick is to make this again...LOL

Here is a better front view...

Happy New Year!

2009-12-30T15:56:00.000-08:00

Ok, so Christmas is done for now, my house is kind of looking normal again, but what is normal? I have lots on my mind as to what I would like to do for this new year. New ideas, new TV, new Wii..oh yea!!! ....need to get my yard back into shape, lose a um...a few...pounds..yea riiiight....and reorganize my poor cluttered spare room. That is just the small list, LOL. Last summer I was recuperating from surgery, so this summer I plan on getting many of these things accomplished. It feels like summer is far away, but in reality...it will be here before we all know it! It is the time I have off from work that I can accomplish most of my goals!

Oh, I got my computer all reformatted now so I need to work on cluttering it up again too with all my software! Hopefully I wont have any issues again. This time I played it smart and put McAfee on first. Then Office 2007 with all of the service packs... No errors!!! So far so good...all my hardware is working correctly as it should! It was the first time ever I reformatted a computer in less than 30 minutes...I was so impressed! Yea for technology, gotta love it!

Wishing you all a wonderful, safe, prosperous, healthy New Year!

Love,

Chris

Green Mermaid Dotee Doll

2009-11-11T21:59:00.000-08:00

Well...I dont have a name for her yet. It will come to me sometime soon. If you have any suggestions please feel free to pass them my way.... She took me all day to work on...off and on...I had a difficult time with her crown, but I finally got it to work...for some reason I have a hard time soldering sometimes. The solder just wont hold! I use flux...and I tried both my torch and an iron. Thought I had it...with the iron...and when I started adding the other wired pieces...it broke...so I figured another way to make it work...but its not how I wanted it. It works though...and it holds rather nicely. I learned a new way to do this...and might use it again in the future...

Hope you enjoyed your day off if you had one. I did! My heart goes out to all military personel....being a retired Navy wife, I feel for ya!!! Military life is not easy.

Here is my newest Dotti Doll. I named her Zelda because she reminds me of a wild cat. I took most of the day putting her together...I like to take my time...lol She has a belly button, ta ta's and a butt! I try to make all my dolls with butts...hehehe.. sometimes I can't!

Her face is painted with watercolors and acrylics. I outlined everything to add a little more detail. Can you believe I used a purple micron pigma pen to do that... I thought I grabbed a brown one. The lighting was not that great in my living room or I would have notice right away...but I think I like it this way! I have an ott light, but its in my dining room where I do most of my jewelry...oh well.. Oh, and I rubbed the tips of her hair walnut stain distress ink! I have more pictures of her that I will put up soon...

I'm debating if I should put a skirt on her or some kind of a tu-tu. I think I want to do a little more sparklies on her too... I would love to hear your input!

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!!!

Thanks...

Chris

I was reading an email that I get frequently from one of the newsletters I receive on a regular basis, and finally decided it was time to add a photo of my displays to that website. So I submitted the photo with a little blurp and she loved it. So now my displays can be scene by those who visit her website. http://www.jewelry-display-ideas.com/wings-n-scales.html

Well...I am having lots of fun making the jewelry for my new website. This is one of the hostess choices... I still have a long ways to getting the site exactly like I want it..I am sooooo picky!!! Once the site is up and running, I will let you all know...Im so excited about it. I do hope it works. I will tell you more about it once it is put together. The hardest part is making the animations. Its so time consuming...but well worth it in the long run...Ok..enough of that...I best get to work. Time does not stop...
