As I do not have anything new today, and for some reason, I feel the need to post daily (for now, at least), here is a show and tell bracelet and earrings in the Eni Oken style that I made a few years ago. There are only certain types of wire wrap techniques I like, and […]

We are having an art show blog hop to feature some of the work we have accomplished in our drawing lab thus far. I joined Jeannie’s Drawing Lab 2011 class a couple of weeks late, so I decided to do the two assignments I missed. I believe the first week was to draw a cat, and the […]

My daughter has a very dainty Cinderella music box from childhood that she treasures. Cinderella and her Prince dance in circles to the music: The story may be a fairytale, but it captures the dreams of many girls – dancing the night away with your Prince!

I was visiting Stefanie of Stefanies Sammelsurium blog, and saw a very beautiful photo of the Pere Lachaise Cemetery that she took during her vacation in France. I thought it would make a beautiful theme for the challenge, and contacted her. Stefanie was very kind and generous in permitting me to use her photo for this theme: […]

I have not had much mobility to be too creative earlier this week, short of sitting in front of the computer or sitting and drawing. I dedicated this weeks challenge to “Two Injured Birds”. My daughter had knee surgery, and on the same day, I stepped in a pothole, took a very “graceful” dive and ended […]

This weeks assignment was on learning by tracing. Well, something like that. We were to find an Old Master drawing and trace it, then do another one, hand sketched. I chose a drawing of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza by Honore Daumier: DH thinks Sancho looks like a penguin :-). You can click on the image […]

I wanted to try my hand at making organic type beads. But, invariably, the pink snuck in there somehow: I strung some natural stone nuggets to complement the organic look. You can find the bracelet in my Etsy shop.

Since I started making glass cabochons, I have been turning some into buttons, and others, well, sit waiting until inspiration hits. Recently, I came across a most wonderful book – Lacy Wire Jewelry by Melody MacDuffee. I now have great ideas on what to do with the glass as well as the rock cabochons I polished at […]

There are so many expressions of love… I felt it would be very special to take a photo of DH and I holding hands. For the background, I made a collage of flowers from our garden, and a few flowers I saw on an outing: I added a photoshop elements effect, golden flakes from Kitty Designs, and an ornate overlay from Robyn Gough […]
