A place for me to share some of my creative side. I'm an artist of sorts. I love to create with paper, fabric, glass and words. I hope that you will learn more about me and maybe become a fan of what I create.

Made with polymer clay, rubber stamp and alcohol inks. Fast and easy to make using only a few items. Tools: Polymer Clay, Pasta Machine (Rolling pin or an old glass) Butterfly Cookie cutter, Stamp, baking tray, oven, Alcohol ink, Alcohol. I mixed two clays because I thought I might use the butterflies on different projects and I wanted them to be stronger and the plain polymer clay can be fragile so adding the stronger one will help keep them from breaking so easily. But it isn't necessary if you plan to glue them to a project that won't get handled a lot. The Alcohol ink and Alcohol is just one way to "paint" them, I have used acrylic paints and spray paint and just about anything else you can think of on the market, that is just what I used in this video... When I glue them to a project I sometimes mix glues, white glue and hot glue or an epoxy, depending on what it is I'm using the butterfly for and how much handling it will get. Take a look at some of my othe...
The challenge for this art was to use eyelets. Even though you may not be able to see them I used two. lol.. Both are in the oval chipboard and are lavender in color. In this piece I created a 6 by 6 inch art using scrapbook papers, chipboard, Prima flowers, Adirondack Color wash and rubber stamps. Included in this art is one of my handmade butterflies - made out of polymer clay. It took about 35 minutes to make this art piece, once I had all of the materials gathered. My recipe for glimmer mist: Future Floor Polish and Pearl Ex I mix in an old spray bottle and put in about a teaspoon of Pearl Ex and test how it looks, if it needs more shimmer I add more Pearl Ex. lol This time I decided to make a kit of the items I used in this art and offer it for sale. In the Kit: Two 6 inch by 6 inch Background papers - Treasure and Plaid Two 6 by 6 Cardstock papers - Pink and Purple One cardstock 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 - Exact Ice Three Cream Prima Flowers One 6 by 6 Mat Board One 5.95 inch by 5.95 inch c...
I officially didn't sign up for the challenge that Mary at 2 scrapalot posted: http://2scrapalot.blogspot.com/2010/04/40-layouts-in-40-days-challenge-april.html but I decided that I would try to do as many as I could in the next 40 days.. I might not get them all posted everyday but my goal would be to at least get them created and then upload a video for each one... The first challenge was to use a Puzzle piece in the art. I had a puzzle that I picked up for a dollar of some dinosaurs and thought that would be perfect to use.. My husband laughed at me because I put the puzzle together before I took a corner of it for the art! lol.. I should have taken a photo of it when I finished the puzzle. lol... I'm glad it was an easy and small puzzle, would have hated to worked on it for hours only to take it apart for art. lol... Once I selected the portion of the puzzle I wanted to use I took the rest of the puzzle carefully and placed it in sections back in the box. I should have gl...
