I got up early this morning despite staying up late consorting with brantastic to go to the Kermesse flea market, a fundraiser for the local children's hospital. It was much smaller and less well...not stupid right now, so I may re-read that one next. Anyone read any of the others? It's a gorgeous day out there... the sun is shining and the leaves on the trees are mostly all the way out
Thrifted tee for $1.99 + handcut stencil + acrylics and fabric medium = Sally's birthday gift , originally uploaded by grammardog . Sally's cheap-o birthday gift. She will wear this joke into... I tell you... the GROUND. B.Art checking out my handiwork: Later, Sally gave him a lipstick kiss on the forehead. Here he lies, marked and humiliated and trying to camouflage himself:
AM thinking of doing some Mayan art in paper, so drew up some sketches. What do you think? What I like about Mayan hieroglyphs is they were just as unique as their draftsman. Writing is an art...'art' in it, Most Asian are similar in their preciseness (down to how you should do the pen stroke in some cases), but Mayan is full of personality, and it makes it easy and fun to 'do it yourself.
Oh my heavens... look at the beautiful pendants this woman makes from real butterfly wings! The butterflies live out naturally their lives in a conservatory and then she collects the wings. Are they...most stunning things you've ever seen? The blue one! The red one! The monarchs!!! I can't get over how gorgeous they are. Someday when I win the lottery I am going to buy me one of those babies
Some of you have kindly been asking how my dad is doing. He had an MRI a couple of weeks ago, and it was found that the largest tumour had shrunk by about 50%. That news left us all strangely non-celebratory...Auditorium. No one else likes this photo, but I really do: I made these little tea packets for my co-workers for Valentine's Day. Look how cute it is with the little heart dangling:
bubblishpop 's crafty exploits have inspired me. At the weekend, I hubbled and bubbled and got crafty in the kitchen. Here are batches one and two of melt-and-pour soap. So nice to know they're...dose of minty-freshness: Rose geranium: blooming lovely! Made for my mommy. ^_^ The tops of these had sparkly powder in them. Kathy, thank you for all your help! It was such fun. ^_
OMG KNITTERS. Look at this adorable owls sweater by Kate Davies with a free pattern to download! Isn't that so beautiful??? I don't even have one of the skills listed under Necessary Skills, but I just love it.
My craft was selected for Craftster's Best of 2008 ! Very exciting. Also, there are some amazing crafts in there, so if you click, make sure you have a comfortable chair. All the talk of Livejournal...dudes this way, and I've met some of the loveliest people I know this way. I just am going to pretend it won't happen. I'm pretty glad I decided to let my paid account expire, though... just in case
