Great way to display your art!

Gary and I are always trying to come up with

fun ways to display our art!

We have several right now we'd like to share with you.

  

 3 different sizes for Bijou ~ Art Tiles, school photos too.

2" x 2" Pine Cone & Pumpkin Decorated Photo ~ Art Holder

I'm a grandma and LOVE to display my grandchildren's school photos this way!

Take a look at our ETSY Store!

Busy Summer . . .

Well, like so many people our summer has been very busy,

but we've enjoyed every minute!

Once it cooled down enough to get out into the wood studio,

Gary started scrolling up a storm!

Gary has a wonderful eye for choosing just the right wood and grain

for his projects. The projects this time have been

Oak and Maple Leaves that I designed.

Each piece is sanded, scrolled, then sanded again and buffed.

 

We have used these leaves as "confetti" on our table as a decoration, we have

resin on the top of some, but with collection of leaves, we have made

beautiful Wearable Art! Each leaf has a jewelry pin glued to the back.

 

They look fabulous on scarves, sweaters and jackets, but they are

equally wonderful on jacket lapels, and on ties as a tie tac!

Great as boutonnieres for fall weddings too.

I have mine on my backpack.

 

Wood Oak Leaf Pin ~ 4 Sizes

 

Wood Maple Leaf Pin ~ 3 Sizes

Check out our ETSY Store. If you haven't been by lately you will

see that we have added so many new items!

More weaving . . .

I really am having a wonderful time weaving these table runners/decoration mats!

My problem is that every one that I make, I want to keep or give away.

I have just listed four of them on my ETSY Store.

I am going to continue making them.

Seeing what weaves up on my loom is a process I love!

Each are woven with either a 100% cotton thread or a 

cotton/linen yarn and high quality Batik Fabric.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day! 

A new table runner!

For a while now, I have been wanting to weave a table runner

using fabric. I have read a lot of information that is available on the Internet

as well as in some of my books and including purchasing patterns. Never felt quite

comfortable in taking the plunge. BUT, I finally did! 

I am really glad I did the research ~ no one resource
had all of the answers, tips or techniques.

My suggestion for anyone who wants to make one of these is to simply do it!

Batik Fabric Jelly Roll by Moda

 My 20" Schacht Flip Rigid Heddle Loom

Have a marvelous day and thanks for looking!

More on the way . . .

I really am enjoying weaving my own fabric and turning it into beautiful

decorative home decor pieces. Here is the latest!

the changes in temperature, the way I feel like I can just slow down a bit.

and was made from National Nonwovens Woolfelt.

different ways to enhance, not over power, your picture frames,

figurines, vases, tools, etc. . . . how will you use yours?

Pumpkins!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE pumpkins.

I was trying to figure out why and the only thing I can think of

is that when I was little my mom and dad would

take us to a pumpkin patch (still growing on the vine!),

and we were able to choose any pumpkin we wanted.

It was always an awesome experience ~ one that I

still cherish ~ thank you mom and dad!

So, what brought this up?

I am looking around my studio and see pumpkins ~ all over the place!

Then I go out into the rest of the house ~ pumpkins!

All types!!!

As silly as it may seem, I am devoting a page on this blog

to pumpkins my husband, Gary, and I create!

 Here are a few to get this started!

So enjoy! 

We are going to be making a LOT more!!!!

Weekly Challenge #136 ~ "Colour Colour Everywhere"

So, I'm thrilled by this week's challenge because

I just recently started to work with 

color in my ZIA's!!!

I have been creating new stencils

and have been focusing on

fall ~ my FAVORITE time of year!

Here I have used my markers and my airbrush sytem

to create this fabulous background.

Naturally, I had to tangle it!

taught me another technique using wonderful

Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils.
