Recycled Calendar

Recycled Calendar

I treated myself to a new Cricut cutting machine.

Fun in a box! This is an old calendar that had the most beautiful photos of fractals. I hated to throw it out so I made these cute little gift bags with my new Cricut cutter.

They turned out so cute it will be hard to give them away.

Zentangles

Check this out! http://polymerclaynotes.com/?p=3005 I just made some zentangles with my girls and oh my, did we have fun. My 10 yr old actually stopped drawing , looked up and said: " I feel really happy right now." That says it all. Thanks to Susan Lomuto for always sharing.

Card Keeper

I was inspired by Sue Heaser's new book "Encyclopedia of Polymer Clay Techniques." Fun stuff in there.

Halloween

It's OCTOBER! Love it!

"I heard the dogs howl in the moonlight;

I went to the window to see the sight;

All the Dead that I ever knew

Going one by one and two by two."

-William Allingham,Bard of Donegal

Dragonfly

Dragonflies symbolize renewal, strength, courage and happiness. They live a short time so they are a reminder to live life to the fullest.

Fall

Fall is approaching even though I am resisting.

Sunflowers everywhere.

FAERIE PORTALS

Be a good neighbor and welcome the fairies into your home with these little doors. Only "good" fairies are allowed in through the door. This includes the Tooth Fairy and good natured pixies.

Vacation

I returned from visiting the BEAUTIFUL Oregon coast and was pleasantly surprised by my work being posted on two of my favorite websites.

Nouveau Card Keeper

This is going to keep my business cards.

Art Nouveau Pendants

Art Nouveau was popular in 1880-1914 and consisted of stylized, flowing designs that often incorporated floral and plant inspired motifs. It has always been one of my favorite art movements and these conjured up that feeling. I will be adding some to my store.

Orange Butterfly

Summer is in full swing and I am seeing bugs everywhere!

PopTarts

I came across some of these on a blog this morning. http://mossyowls.blogspot.com/

My kids love pop tarts so I had to make some of my own. Funny stuff.

Fun Stuff

These are so fun to make. I have bags and bags of them. I hate to part with them. They are so shiny. I would like to make a beautiful necklace with them. So many beads.... so little time.

Spring Moss

These beads remind me of a mossy stream bed.

Snail Baby

Happy Spring.

I do not like them in my garden but this one was so cute!

Black and White

This design is real close to the texture on the reverse side. Pure Luck.

Spring Bugs

Spring is on our doorstep.

The girls were collecting pill bugs.

I could not resist.

Test Tube Vases

Test tube vases. I have spring fever. These are about 4" tall. Perfect for all of those single dandelions my little one picks for me.

Easy Beads

I call these "easy beads." They are just slices from a cane made with a clay extruder.
