Yellow Rolodex swap

The Byhandartist Yahoo group is doing another Rolodex swap for March . We have done several of these swaps over the past couple of years. The theme is yellow with a quote. Mine is a daffodil napkin for a base and some bird pictures collaged over them with a stamp from Crafty Individuals stamped with Stazon Ink. The quote is one of Keat's . This card was collaged in layers using Matte Medium . Thanks to Beth for hosting this swap and yellow will be a wonderful addition to my ever expanding Rolodex!

On Friday I took a wonderful class doing collage with magazines and bees wax with Thea Haubrich of http://www.encaustic.ca/ !! It was a wonderful day and learned alot from Thea and plan to to take more classes from her in the future ! These are photos of my two attempts and I really like them myself. I hope to try more of these very soon. Excellent class and if you look at Thea's website you will find out where she will be teaching in the future and also buy any supplies you need from her. Thanks for dropping by .

Minis 2

Here are a couple more photos of minis that I have made in the past few months. My mini club has been trying out some green projects and recycling . The Tea pots are made out of lids from dish soap and toothpaste lids and buttons (and I forgot to put the penny in the photo). The bird feeder is aquarium tubing and an ear ring back and grommets with ground pepper as the bird seed. We do have the most interesting meeting!!. We are working on cakes now made from bottle tops. I will post those photos when I get mine done.

Opening ceremonies were good but sheesh CTV try to get your feeds better!!!!! Watching NBC now and really the quality is so much better!! Not nearly as many glitches!!

I work in 1 inch equal a foot (dollhouse scale) and have many UFOs happening but eventually I will get them done! I will most likely be showing these and maybe a couple of other things at the Kelowna Mini Show and Sale on April the 24. If You need any info e-mail me and I will let you know the particulars of this show. Olympics Opening Ceremony starts tonight so off to watch and enjoy for the next two weeks!!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Today I finished up a couple of felting projects I had been working on before and after Christmas. Lillian gave me this great cookie cutter she knew I would love , she got the moose in Banff. And the little snow darling is something I was playing with, She is actually felted on a piece of white felt using an acrylic Roving from Bernat and it actually worked very well. Both these projects are Needle Felted with roving . I am thinking that the Moose will end up the center of a hot pad for the table. That may take awhile for me to do but will post pictures when that is done.

Thanks for looking !
