September Mouse Card

Here is the card for September.  Lots of leaves blowing around. Of course here in Texas it's still HOT as you know what! Don't see Fall coming anytime soon. LOL

Clay Crowns

 Last weekend I had one of my art group meetings. This is what we created. Two of the members tag teamed to teach us, Donna J. & Jeanne showed us clay can be fun!

 This one I copied the decorating of one that Jeanne had done. I loved the colors of the alcohol inks used and the little chip board circle frame is from Maya Road. I added stickles to it and a bird photo behind the frame. Filled the frame in with glossy accents.

 You probably can not tell but I covered some of the dots with triple thick glossy sealer to give them some more dimension. I also included some stickles on some of the smaller dots.

 This one has a transfer on it of children. Did not know you could transfer toner/laser copies with water but you can. Very easy too! I added some detail to the inside of this crown on the peaks.

 This one is very brightly colored with the alcohol inks. Love the star brads Jeanne told me about at Hobby Lobby! Thanks Jeanne!!

 I added stickles to the dots on this one. It's colored with Red Pepper alcohol ink.

Jeanne and Donna had some crowns that they had sewn on. Cool idea! I watched Jeanne drill the holes in this crown for me so I could add the wire X's. Love this look!

It was great to play with a medium that I don't use very often. Learned several things about the medium plus I loved the bright colors you get with the alcohol inks.

August House Mouse Card

Amanda doesn't seem to be having to much trouble caring this apple back to school. It's that time again, the kids are buying their school supplies and getting new clothes for their trips back to school.

Hard to believe my son is 19 and in college. Time passes way to fast!

Swap Art

I made this whimsical block doll last night at an art group meeting. Really fun project! We used Omnigel to transfer the face and dress. I have not used that in such a long time. The body, head and triangle are made from wooden blocks.

 These fabric wings I made as my swap for last night. Made from fabric, wire and little burlap flowers with ribbons hanging down.

I also added some detail with buttons and rhinestones.

The solder part will be 1" charms. You do have to already know how to solder to take this class. Cost for class is $75.00. Call the store to sign up 972 596-1224. These pictures really do not do it justice!
