I recently received an e-mail notice from Digishoptalk regarding an online chat with their featured designer, Liz Tamanaha of Paislee Press. Considering I am practically glued to my computer these days, I popped into the chat. It was an experience since I had never been in a chat room before. At first, I was a […]

Well, here is another owl this week. Like I said, they are everywhere. I found a really cute tutorial some time ago at Indie Fixx and decided to finally make it: The pattern is very simple and easy to make up. I used some fabric from my Blythe doll dress stash, and the buttons from my […]

This weeks lab was to build on last weeks drawing of a face. We were to draw a fantasy creature. I thought about all kinds of creatures, but I didn’t want to creep people out. So, I stayed within reason and drew a mermaid: I’m really enjoying drawing, and doing these labs.

You do not need to go very far to find interesting events and activities to do within driving distance. Yesterday, I met with my friend Aki and visited the annual Yucaipa Iris Festival. We managed to see the rock show and vendors, but for some reason, we missed the iris part: The Yucaipa Valley Jem […]

I participated in Coolscrapdigital’s Quick Page Contest. We were given a kit called “Suprise” created by Jill, which we used to come up with a Quick Page design. It was fun so I made two. I submitted the first one. Both QP’s can be downloaded for personal use from here or at the Coolscrapdigital site:

What’s old is new again. Everytime I go shopping with my daughter, I see an owl accessory. As I recall, they were “in” back in the ’60s – ’70’s? I made an owl pendant out of paper clay. The eyes are vintage rhinestones.

I was not too excited about drawing a face this week. It just seemed a bit difficult to draw a persons likeness. I decided to use my maternal grandfather as my subject: The photo showed my grandfather with very short hair, and since it was such an old photo, there were less shadows to contend […]

I was rummaging through my craft supplies when I came across a knitted beaded amulet bag/necklace project that I had started several years ago.
