    Bottlecaps

    November 16, 2007 - By 


    I’ve been saving bottlecaps for quite a while now…my neighbors and family even save them for me occasionally. Nice to have people like that even if they do think I’m odd.

    I was inspired to make these bottlecap magnets aftering seeing a post about some Christmas ones on Ali Edwards blog.

    I only had very thin sheet magnets at home so they aren’t really strong enough to hold up anything but themselves. Who said art had to be practical, right?!?

    I have 16 more sitting taking up precious table space while the Crystal Lacquer dries. Next time …hopefully…I’ll remember to put them on a tray or something so I can move them outta my way!!

    UPDATE: Here are the 15 that turned out…

    BahHumbug postcards

    Here is my postcard poking fun at the chaos of some peoples Christmas. I’m glad our family has the “keep it simple” policy. 🙂

    The second one is giving a little jab to some of the clueless husbands out there.

    Glad mine isn’t one of them. Love you sweetie!

    Small canvas

    October 21, 2007 - By 


    I put aside the sewing for this evening and this is what came of it. It’s a 5×5 inch gallery edge canvas. Fun size to work with. The crown is actually a shank button. I cut a hole in the canvas for the shank to poke through the back.
