Practise run "LOL"

Well, Well, Well....Silly me.
We, - Suzanne, Sandy, Dianne and myself are doing another challenge, and this is my practise run, I guess you could call it.
The shoes we are to be doing, are FAIRY SHOES.
I know this is not even close, but couldn't resist trying to make high heeled shoes as I have attempted sandles in the past and I think they turned out ok.
These are made out of card stock, cardboard for the sole, foam for insole, and dowels for the heel. A few leaf adornment on sides and front and VOILA!!! my first high heeled shoe is complete.
Now on to the FAIRY SHOE.
Wish me luck.


 

Challenge #1 Ethnic Doll

Whew!!!!!!!!!
This was guite a challenge for me, because I have never really worked with anything other than paper. I found it quite a challenge indeeed.
Once I decieded which nationality I was going to do, I had to..............well do it.
First I decieded to make the kimono. The fabric is from an old sheet set that was worn and torn up, (i knew it would come in handy some day, but not to do this), I painted the flowers and leaves, and added some sparkle paint to outline. I don't know if you can see, but I sewed each of the wings differently, some of the leaves are sewen and some are a different color. Just to be different I guess.
Then on to the doll itself. this is were the WHEW!!!!!!!! comes in.
just wrapped material around long wooden coffee stirsticks, glued the dress on, and wrapped a piece of gold sparkle wire bow to waist. The head got stuffed and the face is a brotche that I thought looked chinese. I glued moveing eyes to back of this. Toothpix for hairpiece, and a little bow ribbon as adornment.
Challenge # one complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother's Day card for mom

I made this card fo my shnazzy mom for Mom's Day. She's prettier and sexier than this chick, HA HA HA!!!!
TRUE REALLY.
The poem is one that I did not write, but wish I had. It is so like how I feel for my mom.
Happy mom's day mom.
Love you with all that I am.
 

cards

These cards I love, Dianne got them for me when she was in England on holiday. That makes them even more special to me.
Love you Di 

Good try he! he! he!

Well this is my first attempt at beading. Can you see the so- so straight lines? Aren't they lovely?
Needless to say I wont be trying this again for a while. Although I did it on felt, and cloth might be better.
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we won't be knowing that for a long, long time.
 

Party Time

These are the party invitations for my granddaughter's 5th "B" Day party. They are going bowling, so I thought I'd make soles as invites. Daughter put words on later, Sorry no pic of that. The complete Sandal is for Kendra (granddaughter) to keep. If she is anything like me she will have it till she dies. I even put on a heel and toe piece. Chuckle, chuckle.

Boy I wish I could make real shoes (IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES) . There would be no color or style left unturned..........................Yummy!!!!!!! shoes! shoes! shoes!

Ok, back to reality here. More posts to come.



 

Do dat Sandals

 

Just a few more

Getting really bored

Well I got tired of cards, so I did this little purse.
I used scraps from some of my crafts here. All but the handle that is.
The outside is a small piece if wallpaper stencil painted, then glued onto scraps of card stock and bristle board, the edges are cut up wire ribbon(there was just enought to do this size) wanted to make it bigger. The clasp is a silver button I had ( I don't know if you can read it but it says Strength on it). Then little necklace beads for the handles. I attached wire to the frame under the ribbon, to get the shape.
 

Two more Envelope bags in the works

 

Lady Dilinger

Boy oh boy. I almost forgot about this picture.
I did this way back when for my mom.
I had been fooling around with water colors,
not knowing what to do with them really.
A friend was visiting one day (who by the way is a great artist),
and told me to just draw the picture I wanted and experiment.
I told my mom about the visit, and she asked me to
paint something for her. This is the result.

 

Crazy Hatter

Well here I am at long last, my own blog. whew!!!!
I was feeling a bit crazy on this day, in a hat made by a long time friend Sandy. Whom by the way has been into sewing. arts & crafts, drawing... well you name it and she has or could do it. Talent runs in her family.
Well now I have to get this thing started.
Wish me luck.
