Faery Painting..

I created this painting today for fun. My friend and I were talking about making some kind of a display unit to attach my jewelry on and this is what we are going to do. Put 2 canvases together, paint on the outside...on on the inside will be black fabric stapled on, then wire mesh on top of that...and there you go...and fun and not too expensive display...I still have lots I want to add to this...and the second one is now in the process of being painted...

Tree Fairy

Well, here is fairy number one. I made her from start to finish all just today and boy what a pain she was...LOL I have never worked with such tiny hands and feet before. Actually the feet gave me the worse problems. I like her, I think she is cute. But I dont think she is my best. I tried to give her fuller cheeks but the fabric just wouldnt move anymore! I am going to attempt the other fairy soon and see if she will be any easier for me to make. I do like her hair though...and the freckles...she needed them!

Wings are next....I like wings...

Wish me luck on my next fairy! :-)

I just love this color. Smokey gray...fun!

These earrings are very simple and yet delicate. I used the swarski beads along with pearls.

Mermaid Delight!

Yup, Mermaid delight! I think its a perfect name for this bracelet and earrings. The colors are so pretty, and the beads are just amazing I think. I love this color combination. I didnt think the copper beads would blend, but I think they look just fine....

Cranberry Cream

Well...here is another one of my attempts to creating a bracelet. I made matching earrings. I am having so much fun with this style of bracelet. Its so easy to make. The trick is making the string tight, tying knots frequently, and making sure you have at least 8 different types of beads.

Well, I havent done much on the tree. I did find some beads that I really liked to add a small touch of color. I only have about 6 fluted beads with tiny pearls glued around the roots. I also found this swag with the perfect color of flowers to add in too. I just finished sewing up the bodies of the fairies and I am looking forward to putting those together soon....

A friend of mine gave me an idea and we thought it would be great for me to enter my little creation in our local county fair. Something I have never done before out here so this should be interesting...I hope I get it all finished in time!

Tree Face

Here is my progress of the tree fairy. She is turning out far better than I thought she would. Michelle gives great instructions, THANKS MICHELLE!!! I still have to add more leaves...but she is moving right along...

Now I need to get ready for work...but I would rather play...oh well...

Have a great week......
