Evenstars-- click on picture for more detail Well, I have finally gotten around to updating. :) Theses are from my teaser. Here are my Evenstars! (I've since given most of them away). The white one is actually the cheap $3 Halloween version that I refinished. The gold evenstar on the left is made out of Sculpey Clay. I lay my evenstar on top...
Now that I have effectively spent far too long online and have to finish up schoolwork, I thought I would leave you all with a teaser. :) Instructions for ALL the crafts in this picture coming up! ...soon(ish)... More Ink and Fairydust magazines with articles by yours truly... And a description of why styluses don't work on iPod touches/iPhones, and how to make...
Another hair clip, made from beads and wire tightly twisted around a hair clip. It was very difficult to wrap the wire around the clip so that it stays in place. I used floral (thin) wire, and wrapped it around my loops and beads, which were done with an 18 or 20 guage wire (I forgot). Remember: a good pair of pliers are...
I made this rosary bracelet out of the wonderful crucifix beads from BrightlingsBeads. This bracelet didn't turn out quite like I had hoped... too big. Oh, well. I made my own clasp, and used these instructions to bead it together. I made this rosary bracelet out of the wonderful crucifix beads from BrightlingsBeads. This bracelet didn't turn out quite like I had hoped... too...
I am doing a Valentine's Day swap with some members of my fourm; I went overboard and took it as an excuse to make a bunch of little crafts... Not even related to Valentine's Day. :) I think I put most of them in that picture of random recent crafts on this post. Some of these things are for the swap. Here you...
A few posts ago I mentioned Sir Herbert the snowman, who is pictured below... We now have two more creations covering our lawn. All done out of two inches of slushy snow ontop of one inch of old snow. I am pleased to announce the presence of Mr. George Snowman. And The Dragon. The dragon was a full family effort. It used up...
Yes, I am teasing you, my kind readers.With a photo of recent craft projects. I will write a post about each and every one, hopefully including some instructions. And, yes, the envelope is a craft. You shall see. Oh, I am also working on a hand-drawn animation with someone who lives halfway across the country. ...
What you need: -A washer of desired size -Wire -Patterned and/or decorated paper -Sissors -Decopauge glue (like Mod Podge) Step one: Decorate your paper, trace the washer onto it, cut it out. Step two: 1) Apply a layer of glue, attach paper. Dry for five minutes. 2) Add a layer of glue on top of the paper. Dry fifteen minutes. Repeat 2 as...
I apologize for the awful pictures here. :( I assure you that my paintings are not blobs of blurry, yellow color. But I had already given both of the paintings before I discovered that the picture was rather terrible. These are acrylic. The top one was 20 something inches and the bottom was 11 or 14. Both are "mounted" canvas, which means they...
I made these crocheted gloves for my brother a few months ago. They are Gryffindor colors to go with the hat I made him early (and a scarf for my other brother). I also called them "Homeschool Spirit" because they are the "official" colors of our family's homeschool. Red for the Sacred Heart and yellow/gold for... I forget. It meant something about God's...
...all you have to do is give her a set of jewelry-- complete with clip on earrings. I made these for my sister's birthday a few months back. Only picture I have, sorry. But who minds seeing a cute little girl in a picture with jewelry, anyhow? (I didn't make the necklace, it was her present from Dad a few birthdays ago. She...
This was supposed to be a beautiful necklace for my Grandma. I was going to dangle little pearls on it... only after I put this much together did I realize-- the pearls were too small to fit my wire. :( It turned out all right because I made something else for my grandma, but it sure bothered me then! Anyway, found this picture...
This is art, right? I can put it on the blog. After all, it is a snow sculpture!This snowman is named Sir Herbert. (Sherbert). Dad did alot of the face and I did most of the hand. I can forsee a tradition going on here. Especially when we get more than three inches of snow. This is art, right? I can put it...
...or however that quote goes. Does the picture above make your fingers itch and your imagination run on end? Those are all random trinkets I found lying around the house. I am sure I will uncover more when we move and get the boxes out of storage.I am not sure what to do with a broken zipper, belt loop, or spiral paper clip, but...
I have to say, I have a great talent for making messes. Much as I love tidiness, I rarely feel like actually cleaning. Organizing-- love. Cleaning-- hate. I do make myself actually clean, because I do dislike mess, but its... cleaning. But when it comes to actually working on art/craft projects, I'm content with mess. :) And while it may not look very...
