HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Look What I have on Artfire.

I thought you might like to see some of my beaded figures .

May I present "Madam Butterfly"...Isn't she magical??!

She fits in the palm of my hand, so she is quite small. I did a rope chain so she can be worn to enhance a special outfit.

This little one I named "Sleeping Beauty" The pink and purple beads go so nicely to-gether. She has beads and charms dripping from her fingertips and the rope is beaded in matching colors using my favorite rope pattern.

She is quite small too and measures 3 inches head to toe.

She is 100% beaded front and back and the ropes on both measure approximately 30"

I am going to list these in my Artfire shop, Do stop by if you have a moment and take a look... Wouldn't this be a special gift for someone .

Thanks for your visit.

Thanksgiving in Canada.

To all my Canadian friends, I hope your Thanksgiving Weekend is a special day for you and yours.

Comfort Doll

One of my dear friends has terminal cancer. It saddens my heart so much. I thought I would make her a comfort doll and here it is. A guardian Angel beaded and lots of sequins to brighten her day..filled with Love and Prayers .
I hope this wee doll will do it's job....

New Things to Share

I Love making Journals. This one I did with my Embellishing Machine using wool rovings. A bit of embroidery, beads and some Birch trees . Look closely there is a bird's nest with 3 turquoise eggs in it. Isn't it sweet. This one is going to a friend.. I hope she likes it..

A Bump In The Road

I was happily creating in my studio using my embroidery machine for lettering on the cushions I am making......WHEN..... frustration took over as the machine refused to do any more!!!! Talk about "Bird's Nests!" They kept appearing under my work and when I cut them away the threads fell into the machine and I could not reach them...$%@##

Best laid plans of mice and men...... cats in this instance!!!!

So I have put my dancing shoes away and will direct my creativity in another direction until my machine is released from the hospital!!!

Stay tuned!!

Remembering

I was visiting Aida Costa's Blog and she posted a picture of a cushion she had made in Home Ec..

Well when that pattern came out I certainly was NOT in school!!!! but I saw the pattern and immediately fell in love with it. I made several for my friends.

Thanks Aida for jogging my memory,,,

Something New

I thought you might like to see my latest project..

"Boudoir//Dream Pillows" Made with Moire taffeta , dupionni silk and my embroidery machine they have cute sayings on them.Size is approximately 8"x12"

This one has a wee bit of silk embroidery and a dragonfly charm. I have others I need to take pictures of so stay tuned..

Crazy Patch Journal

Here ia a journal cover I did in Crazy Patch...The image is from Mind Wide Open, It was an enjoyable project but a bit labor intensive for a beginner like me!! I tried and tried to do some silk roses but they were not pretty, I nearly wore out the fabric, so I put a bow applique on the spot and added sequins to cover all the little needle holes....Yeah Sequins!!! I did manage to do an iris which ILOVE!!! so you may see a lot of it in various pieces....;-}

The cover to this journal was clear which I really paid no attention to until I placed it in the cover . At once I realized it needed to be lined... I will be aware of that the next time!!

Anyway I am pleased with the finished piece. I added a ribbon page keeper with a delicate butterfly attatched to it..
