Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!
See you next week.
Test results are in and everything is A-OK with my heart!
Another little girl ballerina bag. Front....
....and back
...be artful!
Today, I get my broken crown fixed. No not that kind....the one on my tooth. Maybe they can just numb my whole body.....yeah...dream on.
This is a bag for a little ballerina.
...don't forget to work some art into your day...
Here is my sweet little Santa. He is 6 and a quater inches high and has a clothes pin with a magnet on his back so you can hang up your Christmas list. I actually made a bunch of angels this way and used them to hang up my Christmas cards. My front door was metal and they looked nice hanging on the back.
...he's ready for his close up
hope you have a great hair day!
This was basically my weekend....making angel dolls. The dresses are reds, greens and some beigey Christmas prints....beigey?
...no bucket of wings here...bucket of heads
my current read
think pink today!
This bag was created as a book bag with special dimensions for a friends daughter.
I forgot to photograph the lining fabric. It's a flowery print with lots of colors.
...and speaking of fabric...I got my hands on some yummy stuff last weekend. Can't wait to play with these!
...hope you have an artful weekend too!
I am running late today. AOL was not cooperating so I had to switch over to Comcast so I could post. I designed a new smaller angel doll for a class. She has a rusty heart around her neck and a tiny rusted halo on her bald head. I think she is sweet. Her pink cheeks aren't showing up on this photo.
I put a coffee mug next to her to show the size. She also has some rusty bells back on her wings.
My friend Debbie gifted me with this vintage bowling pin from 1956...my favorite year for cars. Then while shopping at the Girlie Show Friday night she bought me these cute feisty pins. DH is always calling me feisty...must have something to do with red hair?
Remember Art? (Nick for short)..my muse? Well, this is his sister Sylvia. She is my new favorite stamp to play with. They both are from the Joe Carrion's Faces collection from Stamper's Annonymous. I love them all. The text and Inner Child stamps are from Character Constructions.....love them too.
Here is my half of the weekend. I attended the Girlie Show and Friday night party with friends. Thanks to Debbie for an interesting ride. We had great fun. There was lots of food to sample from area restaurants and plenty of funky art.
.... it was jam packed...
I had to have this bracelet from a company called Vintage Found Object Jewerly. She makes the coolest jewelry from bits and pieces of old jewelry and mens belt buckles...all sorts of interesting stuff. I picked up this piece and could not put it down. That rose is done in a tiny petite point embroidery. And another fun thing is that all of the pieces come attached to an old vintage photograph.
Here is DH's half of the weekend. We went to the Weather Festival in Norman. He is a weather buff and missed his calling on career choice. We saw Dorothy and others.
The National Weather Center building was quite impressive.
They had a array of storm chaser vehicles on display.
And we saw our local TV weather persons signing autographs.
The makings of Santas has begun.
This year they are going to be a little smaller but rounder. In all sorts of red patterns and flannels. His bag will have trees and greens poking out. And beards will be made from an array of different yarns and fibers.

...and the angels are of the same size and shape. Tons of different Christmas prints or not if preferred for year round use. And hair styles galore from wire to mini buttons. As always there are NO two alike.

We had a good storm last night. We got away with large pea sized hail and lots of lightning. No power outage. I enjoyed it.
It is finally looking like Fall around here now.
I hope your day is ArtFul!
I used a smaller stamp of the same Santa I used on the tags and just cut the heads off (sorry Santa) to make the one inch by one inch squares. Then I finished them off by putting a gold embossed edge around them. I believe that the embossed edge really set them off and made them complete.
....make some inchies....they are fun to make. Mine are on their way to England today.

I finished up my Christmas tags for the swap at My Hearts Fancy. I made them using a stamp by Character Constructions and Tim holtz distress inks. With a little help from Derwent watercolor pencils.
I was going for the vintage look.
Anyway here are a few things I have been working on. Now that November is here the time will fly right into next year. It's crunch time! I have been working on some city scapes but using watercolor pencils instead of paint. I had bought some Derwent watercolor pencils then Sandy introduced her love for Derwent inktense pencils so I had to buy some of those and try them.
I've been rusting some things.
...and working on some tag swaps for Christmas.
