AHH! Scary Fairies!

These little monsters are actually made for my OrphanTheater shop on ETSY.  The shop is found at www.myorphans.etsy.com.  These are a popular item at the local art shows, and I just thought I should get started on multiple fairy themes.  Halloween, Fourth of July, Valentine!  I was in the mood for scary fairies yesterday.  Four were completed.

Had a craft day with Mom this past weekend.  Wax hearts!  It was a lot of fun working on a craft with her in the kitchen/dining room.  The cutting hearts was a little tedious, especially once my Mom picked up her new book from the library after insisting that her vision probably wasn't as good as mine for the duty.  So my heart cutting task doubled.  She did do the some tracing and her own stringing!

FALL DESIGNS

New fall designs have been added to my Etsy shop.  Please take a look!  I have been working more diligently this fall.  Inspiration is back!  The above flower will be added to the shop once I finish the photos.

FINALLY!

Summer has come to an end.  Too soon!  But the cooler air and fall colors bring on a whole new refreshed feeling.  Above is a photo from my new potting shed.  My husband built me a little area out of some unused space on the side of our house.  A perfect space to get creative!

Beautiful lily that my friend bought for me from a flower girl making her rounds at the local bar.  I usually don't find them too impressive.  But this is a beauty!

Clematis Bloom

This is my new bloom.  I plan to create more of this flower.  I want to make one that will properly fit into this "specimen" box with out pressing into the window of the box too much.  Mission!

These are the boxes they will be packaged in.  Time consuming work!  I learned to make boxes while working at a museum gift shop in college.  They were made of recycled Christmas cards, mine are pages from an old animal anatomy book that the library was discarding.
