Polymer Clay Flower Ring. I seem to make these flower rings a lot.  Some of my scrap canes make very good petals and this is a way to use them.

Day 7 : Back to watercolor w/ Lumpy Space Princess

Back to watercolor! I’m a huge LSP fan so I decided to give her a go :) Still trying to understand how to work the watercolor, but at least my shadow is better than my first. Improvement = me happy. Oh,

I had one more barnyard critter, but it will take a while and I got home rather late from work.  So I did this pink elephant instead:

I got a lot of suggestions for animals in answer to my Day Nineteen post. I may have one or two barnyard critters left in me and then it’s on to new habitats…. Thanks and stay tuned!

Still with the ikat stuff.  This time a fibula.  Oh all right…a pin (or brooch).  These were known as fibula in ancient times and I rather like the word.

Yes, Charlie, those are styrofoam cups.

Charlie and I went looking for tacky Ravens decorations and Baltimore did not disappoint. We are a creative and expressive city. Do we use styrofoam cups because it’s a cheap way of saying what we are aching to say or

Day 1: Fingerless gloves…again?

I feel like I’m getting this year off to a weird start by doing…fingerless gloves. Again. But this time they are for me, and not for a gift. February snuck up on me this year, I’d planned on doing something

My wonky girl got her bow today! Used a really long piece of the dress fabric and played with wrapping and tying and such and ta-da! Now she’s fancy. :) Her face faded from all the man-handling putting her together

Day 18 My Wonky Doll

Finished my first doll! She did come out way wonky, but I like her. Once I close up her head, I’m going to add a bow or headband or scarf… something to help make her head look less… off. :)
