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.

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."

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

Vacation


I returned from visiting the BEAUTIFUL Oregon coast and was pleasantly surprised by my work being posted on two of my favorite websites.
Thanks to Susan Lomuto and her always fantastic Polymer Clay Notes
Thanks to Claudia Zafran Rona of Utah for sending
word of my new pins to
Cynthia Tinapple of Polymer Clay Daily
I was very flattered to see my artwork on these websites. They are both always inspiring and thoughtful. Thanks to all!

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.
