Midnight Blue

These beautiful, midnight blue teardrop shaped faceted stones were wrapped in tons of luscious steel wire. I tumbled polished the earrings to shine the wire and to create depth. They measure 1 3/4 inches from top of sterling silver earwire to bottom of earring. I love these! Available for sale in my Etsy shop.

Journal Exchange

My friend, Valaine and I had a journal exchange and this is the one I made for her. I created the cover with a piece of canvas that I painted and embellished. I love this journal! It's my favorite by far and I'm so glad that Valaine can enjoy it for herself.

Today I decided to go outside and take down the Christmas lights...I know...a little late, isn't it. Cleveland joined me and posed long enough for me to take his photo.

I'm out of my boots and back into my sneakers which is good.

I love trees, especially without their leaves.

Cleveland again.

Beautiful shadow patterns against the house.

Ickles, Roman and Hermione watched my every move from the comfort and warmth of the window.

Girl Sleeping

I gessoed watercolor paper to begin with and I drew into the gesso while it was still wet to create texture. I then added paint, ink, charcoal, carbon, chalk, vintage newspaper, rubber stamps and text. I used an image transfer technique to transfer a drawing of my daughter to the surface of the paper, then enhanced the drawing with charcoal. I splattered paint, scratched with a blade, rubbed the surface with sandpaper to create texture. Fun, fun, fun...
