Faith comes in many forms

Faith comes in many forms… and some it is wearable. While on a supply shopping spree I found these awesome wooden crosses and knew I could transform them into something unique. These one of kind wearable wonders are approximately 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches and stung on hemp cord. For the ease of wearing I tied them off with a knot so you can simply slip them over your head and not worry about fussing with a clasp. I added individuality to each one with different items from beads to glitters. I found some Fiskars Zingz at Big Lots that I thought would be fantastic fun to play with so I used them on the blue cross.  It’s fun digging into a project like this, I always start off by cleaning my desk and ending up with a huge pile of supplies smothering my desk. It’s also fun to try new projects and new mediums to stretch your imagination muscles!

Check these out on my Etsy.

Bedazzle yourself for Christmas, stuff a stocking, or maybe the answer to your Secret Santa whoas! I just finished my second batch of these super fun pins. The squares are 1 1/4 inch and layered and layered and layered with all kinds of fun stuff. From Feathers to Rhinestones. Metallics to Resins. I just posted these tiny treats on my Etsy store. If your interested hop on over. My shop is getting stocked and ready for holiday shopping. I’m having more fun making things then ever before. I’m excited about some cross necklaces I’m working on as well. I’m impatiently waiting for paint to dry so I came here to say hi to all of you and to share my latest shop additions. Happy Thursday.. and wow.. where has the week gone!?

 

Mixed Media Jewelry

I’m always willing to try new things and find it therapeutic to put together small works of wonder. These are wooden squares I bought at a craft shop. I painted and covered them with tissues, napkins, papers, and such as a base to start with. I added painted chip board hearts and flowers to some and resin hearts and flowers to others. I incorporated Beadz and Fun Fur and some feathers as well. Rhinestones were a must to add that extra bling we all like on our funky jewelry. The possibilities for these pins are endless with all the creative items on the market today. I’ll be buying more wooden mini squares soon to make even more of these wearable art treasures. Which one is your fave?

 

Supply Shopping

Here’s a snapshot of some of the goodies I picked up on my shopping trip while visiting with my parents. I got oodles of stickers and jewelry supplies along with some paints, and stencils, and other yummy goodies. The frames in the lower right side of the photo are for making some jewelry with my art. Some of the other goodies I got are ladybug beads, rub-ons, jump rings, paper doilies, and stretchy beading cord. I’m working on a painting today and plan to use some of the goodies from this photo along with some gorgeous sea blue napkins my niece bought for me on our adventure downtown during her last visit. Lots of creativity will be happening with these goodies. I’ll be sure to keep you posted! =) Happy Friday and have a super duper weekend.

 

Necklace Fever!

Necklaces up and ready for sale at my Etsy shop. I have had so much fun making these gorgeous goodies. I put my Moo cards to good use. I used some of them to make these girly girl pendants. I can also make custom designs upon request so if you have something in mind please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m always open to commissions and turning your ideas into art. Today I’m working on an adorable door hanger and will have it ready to post tomorrow! It’s turning out super sweet. And as always during a project my desk is a disaster area so I’m off to straighten it up so I can “think” straight! Happy Monday. =)

 

Drape The Front Of Your Nape!

The Punk Walk is finished and the other 3 on well on their way to being complete. What a super fun and easy project to quickly pass a lazy Saturday away. I bought most of the supplies for these lil treasure on Etsy from suppliers. I bought the beads and the Hemp cord at the store and the 3D Crystal Laquer from a seller on Ebay. I have enough hardware to make 20 charming necklaces and will be adding them to my Etsy store (which my Dad insists I get going SOON!) These will also make adorable keychains and magnets as well, and possibly even a brooch or two. The possibilities are so fun to play with. I used a few of my Moo cards for these pendants just to see how they would turn out. I’m going to try printing out some of my other art on shiny cardstock and see how they look. More Eye-Candy to come your way this coming week! *Hugs!* – Out!
