A Bit East-coast: clay

new cards. new dies. some Easter.

.[new cards. new dies.].

Last night I made two new cards with two new dies-the butterfly and the hexagons. I bought the hexagons for a project that called for them and then I did these cards for fun. The butterfly-I am always trying to find cool butterfly shapes & sizes. I thought I wouldn't use the body piece-now I kinda of like it.

.[some Easter].

Here is another stained wood egg-with some pearls, rhinestones, and a bit of gold string. A few months ago I made these rabbits out of clay-this is how far I got. I am not sure if I want to finish them more than they are-I am afraid of doing something all wrong! I think they are sweet as is, or are they?!

Gorgeous! I love your holiday deco ideas. I also found those cute dollar stamps from Michaels to make ATCs and tags. Beautiful work you do! *Melody*

Keisha, Those eggs are SO pretty. I am sure they are even prettier in real life, too. Love it! Angela

Yikes, I am kinda of nervous about what to send you...I want them to be just as nice for you IRL.

so long halloween 2012.

===========================================================================

Oops, I totally forgot that I had this post scheduled to go live this morning! With the time change I fell asleep by 8(last night) and since the girls have today (& tomorrow) off from school-I slept in longer.

Today-I plan on packing up Fred and the gang-it will be so hard! I love having them hanging out on the sofa and seeing the crows here & there around the house. The house looks so empty when it is all put away, but I must move on to Thanksgiving...and then Christmas! It all comes and goes too fast...

===========================================================================

========================================================================

I made these butterflies & mask freehand with some sculpey, something I definitely want to do again next year.

Hope you came through the storm ok. Up here in Maine it got bad depending on where you live. The coast (where I am) took a beating, but we're fine. Hope you and yours are as well. Love the cards, gorgeous as always!

Hi Heaven, so glad to hear that you and your family are doing well after Sandy. It was sad to see how bad the storm had been for so many people on the east coast. We lost power for 24hrs-so we can't complain. I was stunned to see how bad it was in NY & NJ on Wednesday.

multi-tasker or distracted?

=======================================================================

I am not sure which I am-so lets just say both with a hint of being all over the place. I am still working on the Halloween mini album, but I saw an idea in Matthew Mead's new Halloween magazine I had to replicate. He had this large glass case with faux spiders in it-this is my take on that idea. I bought one of those unfinished glass boxes from JoAnn's and painted it black-I added some glittered spiders & moss-viola!

I also was flipping through a BHG Halloween issue and saw a Scupley ad-which then lead me to wanting to make my own mini pumpkins & a witch's hat. Forgive me-this is my first time playing with clay in YEARS!! I wanted to make white pumpkins and had to go with black since they were out of the white. This was a learning experiment for me(not the greatest, but not too bad for my first try)...and I am now eager to try making more this weekend...

=======================================================================

=========================================================================

First day of school TODAY!! Mikiela started 4th grade and Amira is a sophomore...it was nice to have the house stay clean for most of the day!! Not looking forward to when they come home, lol.

Oh wow!! I love love LOVE this!! I simply adore mini albums. Have you ever considered doing a video of "start to finish" type of project? I'd like to watch how you come up with these sleek, clean albums/layouts.. :)

Heaven, my friend!! I think about this A LOT. I want to and I am super scared of the idea. I *think* a few other blog vistors would enjoy it if I did some videos-I just need to figure out how to do it myself. I love joining in on classes taught by others-because they do the hard work of putting the classes together. The easy part for me is making the project-the other stuff is what scares me. But I might surprise you one day!!

I am absolutely blown away by this mini album. Your designs on the pages are absolutely beautiful. Not over-done...it makes me think of all the people I would love to make one for. I am so GLAD I found your site. I've only been following you a couple of weeks and I love your work.

Welcome Elena, I am always thrilled to have a new visitor/follower. Thank you so much
