Well, I just zipped these up one afternoon...

I saw these bracelets in a store by a display of zippers and went home and tried it. don't know if they are too wierd or what.

Well, I certainly have been 'quiet' lately....

I've been busy making "Quiet Books" for the three little widgets in my life. The girls and I had big plans to do this together for the little ones, but it was hard to get together , and hard to work with the little ones around , and hard to come together on ideas, etc. Sooo, sometime in Sept. "A" (the least seamstress-y of us) hands me a little

felt tree and says "I've started...."! So I went with it. I must say it kept me awake some nights trying to figure out ideas and how to make it work. The internet was a wealth of info and ideas on this so I took some and tweaked and this is what came of it.

And now for something a little different....

I am in the process of creating a 'garden ball'. It starts off with a basketball or a styrofoam ball and then cement, glass beads and grout is added.... It is not quite finished, but here it is so far....

I did it, I did it, I did it.....

Well, this is post number 52!! A year of doing something creative every week. I started out not knowing what the next week would bring, then got into art classes and am now finishing with a fiber project. A scarf. I think I will continue to blog, but now I don't feel like I have to be so strict with myself. Less pressure.

Childhood Memories.

I got a 'hypotrochoid' set for Christmas last year. What fun.

The layered look

I am trying some layering of mixed media. I never really liked this before, but had a lot of fun putting it together.

And now for something a little different....

I was almost late posting this week, got busy with a spur of the moment road trip. I decided to try some different art this week, I have been surfing too many blogs and sites, and forgot what I like to do sometimes. The other one about what I want is from a book I was reading and and Irealized this is what I want, to work part time and be healthy. So I wrote it - we will see what comes of it.
