First piece of 2012

The first finished piece of 2012 ... "The little mermaid"

This little girl got her finishing touches today,The base of her has been made and awaiting the right finishing touches and today she got her bling.. I call this one "playing dress up"

Thought I'd share with you the art studio...It's looking mighty

rough! I think it's high time I clean it up

Some of the finished pieces awaiting a good home

Can you believe I found this tiny beauty at a McD's on the way to Al. over Christmas break. It was out in the grassy field where I had to walk our dogs ,I just happen to spot it in the mud, at first I thought it was plastic but was surprised to find out it is glass... Check back to see what becomes of this tiny treasure.

Christmas Ornaments

I've got two more Christmas ornaments finished.

I love the hand beaded wings, but man do they take forever!!

(close up view) excuse the little piece of fuzz on the left wing , I didn't check for fuzz before I photographed....opps!

I tried something new with these wings, I call them the pompom wings.

I was going to try to bead them, but the material I used unraveled too much and caused 

so many strings that the beads and thread got caught up in .. so I decided no beads for this one. 

I tried tea staining the wings, but only the tips of the material took to the effect ... not sure why,but must be the type of material it is.

Well I am headed back into the studio for the day,I can't play too long in there as I have to make homemade lollipops today.

Christmas Ornaments

I spent most of yesterday working on this beauty. 90% of my day was spent hand sewing all those tiny blue beads onto the wings..it took me four hours!! But well worth it if you ask me!! I am working on more and will post them as I finish them.

Half Pint

I am finally finished with my cowgirl, I've been working on her all week long , mostly waiting for glue to dry before moving on to the next section of her body.

This beautiful cowgirl is made from a crystal candle holder, a vintage colander ,a vintage half pint milk bottle,some baby doll arms,a large metal nut or something of that nature? and lastly a burnt out light bulb for her head. Her added touches are odds and ends found in my art studio ... I think I'll call her "Half Pint"

No good junk

I was in the art studio creating ,but I can't seem to find any good junk in there to finish off a project with! Boo :(  I guess it's time to hit my friends and family up for some junk!  I am heading in a new direction with my art... changing it up a bit and in doing so ... it calls for more junk and more stuff . I guess I'll spend some time this weekend hitting up yard sales and thrift stores for some goodies to create with.  Until then I'll see what I can come up with ,with the junk I already have.
