A Little Fun Creating Here and There!

 These are my most recent creations as I have been busy re-doing my Family room/studio and these were created during down time during the re-do. Both were for Giveaways. My bottle Art went to a swap, "French Inspiration Swap"and the journal was created as a Gift for my last Giveaway on my Lulu's Lovlies Personal blog. The bottle was four sided and a lot of wrk but I couldn't resist the temptation and had to do all 4 sides. I guess it will be fun to change it around from time to time. As far as the journal I created a pocket on the inside of the cover for notes and thoughts, ect. Both were fun and now I need to get back to finishing up a few other projects and enjoying my new space as I sort and organize. Have a wonderful and creative week! Looking forward to Fall and all the Fun Spooky stuff out there.....

Introducing The "Countessa de la Whimssicale" of France

My Pierre accused me of being a Cougar and I found I had been thrown over  a younger woman, when I assumed I had a date for thee Opera, I have decided I don't need that cad after all and I'm hoping to encounter a gentlemen of more means, might there be any out there?? I think I still have a few more years in me my dear...... what a scoundrel he was, meanwhile I shall go Dancin' with my" Happy Feet" I keep you posted when new suitors occur, Until then...... Good Evening my friends!                                                              My first  attempt at working with Paper Clay in a class held at the Artful Gathering given by Christy Meyers of "CC Whimsies" and I had a lot of fun. I would like to work more with paper clay to improve and create in my own style or vision down the line and mainly for my own pleasure. It is rewarding and fun to learn something totally new and not like anything I have ever done before. I  just love trying new things  in all areas of my life as it to me is an "adventure" in creativity, some I may like and some not but will always apply what I learn in other areas of my creations and already have many ideas for this medium. More to be explored and practiced, what fun!

Hats, hats, I love to Try on New Hats!

I love to try out new things, Yes I'm a wearer of many hats and have been all my life, daughter, sister, best friend, wife, Mother, Grandmother, employee, manager,  student, artist and probably more that haven't even occurred to me. New hats are  fun and learning how to create something totally different and the process of learning is like a breath of fresh air to me. I had a great time at the Artful Gathering and re-visited paper and fabrics in a whole new way and yes more.... many friendships were made and the whole process was very refreshing. I hope to keep growing and learning all the days of my life. Here is a "New Hat" and a new creative journey to explore. Life is Grand!

"ALTERED ART BOOK" created at The Artful Gathering

These classes are way too much fun. Here are pages and the book cover I created in the class "A Textured Life" using different techniques and products to produce or create special effects with your Art. I have learned so much about which products to use and how to create that special look you want when working with papers, fabrics, paints within a collage and how many other areas it can be used in what ever you create. This is a really fun class!

"Vintage Violet" from the ARTFUL GATHERING Finished Project with "Mix It Up" hosted by Johanna Pierotti

Hi My Creative Friends! I finished my first class project in the Artful Gathering Event, which I'm having oh so much fun in! This is a wall hanging created with fabrics,vintage laces, doilies, fibers, jewelry findings, book covers and such. This a copy of a photo of my Mom from 1928 and I even found a single old brown alligator shoe clip on bow that she had tucked away. I even learned how to create the weave from scratch and it contains twigs of wood, rusty wire and rusty screen. All combined into a vintage looking piece to appear that it came from the past!  Hope you all like it, I would love it if you would like it on FB too!
