This Christmas has begun my obsession with hand blown glass ornaments.
These beauties are from a local glass studio Flame Run. Last summer, I had the pleasure of touring their studio on East Market Street in NuLu. I totally dug these because not only is each one unique and hand made by a local Kentucky artist, but they look amazing on the tree or in the light.
Merry Christmas friends!
I am so grateful for you all.
I came across these the other day while searching for some one-point perspectives to study for a painting.
This one really amazed me; the color of the foliage and the rock reflected in the architectural choices.
This structure found in Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil is named after former President Juscelino Kubitschek. When I saw this picture, I was drawn into the expanse.
From all angles, a photo emerges. This last one from the Windy City, made me appreciate the thoughtful engineering in our own corner of the world.
Happy weekend friends!
Ever wanted to make your own holiday decorations?
Well, I have. Even as a kid I remember getting totally into each and every holiday often due to the pure temptation of making fabrige eggs…
This year I went with a cupcake wrapper garland for our front door.
I used red raffia (plant fiber), white beads, blue, pink, yellow and foil wrappers, mini- cake wrappers and knotted them in clusters of 7 to insure even spacing. I even did another with a private class of girls where we added India inks to white coffee filters for an ultra bright effect.
Who would have imagined cupcake papers could look so sculptural in the light?
Next year’s door decoration might be this is a wreath by DancingCircle that I fell in love with big time! It’s made from Oregon green moss that is so fresh looking plus eco-inspired. Even the backing is crafted from recycled cardboard.
Last but not least, here’s a peak at the project that inspired my clever cupcake garland. It was created by crafter extraordinaire Pamela Garrison, whose blog I love to explore.
Peace and happy crafting friends!
A lovely glance around the stainless steel kitchen.
Happy Friday friends!
I’m working all weekend on gifts at my Etsy site. Plus, I have tons of holiday DIYs for the weeks to come.
Let’s make this weekend count!
Bon Appetit!
Oh, the joy of another show has come and gone! I always seem to have a good time, but this sale was especially nice having a green canopy and garland overhead. April and I had a blast on Saturday crafting these merry signs that I will teach you to make later this week.
I love to create and earrings are so much fun! Here’s part of my new display.
These silk tie necklaces on salvaged wood floors are the best look yet. I tried plywood before, but I prefer to use these floor samples for their size and color.
My shop has lots of goodies in store.
HaPpY MoNdAy friends!
xo.
