Sweet Pea witches brew

Hallo,
  Ahhhh  love Saturday mornings - especially when I didn't have to work the night before......
  Finished off a few Halloween style bottles this week - I have a TON of bottles in my stash -  I love bottles and any time I find ones I think I can use at the thrift store or a garage sale I pick them up....
  I started these out by spray painting them black. I found the printed Halloween labels in the sale bin at A.C.Moore and then added this sweet little witch image from Sweet Pea Stamps.
  The cute little witch image is called Melowyn and is by Maigan Lynn over at Sweet Pea Stamps.
  I colored them with prismacolor pencils and then glued them to the bottles. Then I added ribbons and a few rhinestones.....
   I cant decide which witch I like better but kinda like the green one better :)

Batty Kitty's

Hallo,
  Another Sweet Pea Stampers challenge week for you today - this week we are doing up Halloween and there are a ton of great images over at Sweet Pea Stamps for Halloween.
  I am using 'Pumpkin Pixie' by Ching Chou Kuik and I colored her with prismacolor pencils.
  I have tons of great Halloween paper and added some orange and black ribbons and some cute charms that I have been hoarding :)
  Lastly I added some black pearl drops using a tulip fabric paint pen. I think she is soooo cute!!!!
  I have 3 days off now and a tons of projects and such planned for the weekend. I need to finish building shelves from the left over fencing that I stained and did up for my craft booth in Panama City - at RTA Designs in downtown PC. And of course there are always more projects I could finish off to stock my booths with :)
  I also have 2 classes today with CLL.....and oh ya the house could use some cleaning too :)

Tangles and tangles :)

Quilt tangle - black

Quilt tangle - white

Hallo,
  Just poppin in after work this am to show you some more tangled panels I have done recently.
  The first 2 panels use the same patterns in the same order and I was kinda thinking of crazy quilt squares when I started them....
  The black one was done with a superfine sharpie paint pen and the white with my usual 0.5 micron pen - which has a finer tip than the paint pen.
  The last one I used a bunch of 'steampunk' style looking patterns and I can see me copying this and using it in some future project.....
   All for now - got the pups a short walk and now that they have chilled just a bit its time for sleep - hopefully the pups will sleep too :) or at least be quiet :)

Catching up

Hallo,
   Trying to get caught up on everything here - 2 pieces of news that I hadn't shared yet here - first is that I got published in the newest issue of 'Just Steampunk' Magazine - not only one item but 3 and 2 of the items are featured full pages to boot!!! Such fun.  The image I used for all 3 projects is the same one only colored differently each time.
  The first picture shows the cover - maybe next time :)
  The second picture shows the necklace I made hanging over a blue bottle - I used a big pendant for the image an sealed it with crystal lacquer and imbedded tiny seed beads around the edges...the drop charm is made from an old earring which I covered with some distress embossing powder and added a couple tiny gears.
  The third picture shows the keepsake box I made - and the last one is the Journal - both made up with distressed travel paper, distress crackle paint and pretty charms and gears.
   The last 2 photos are of the newest addition to our now off to college and no kids around household :)
  This sweet boy was very much in need of a good home - his first home defiantly wasn't.....but other than being underweight, some fairly easy to treat worms, and starved for attention (believe me he is a lovey dovey attention hog :) he is in very good shape and will end up to be a very big boy. Both his parents are over 80 pounds and this little boy will easily be that - I mean really, look at those ears in the first picture :)
  His name is 'DUKE' - the hubby named him. the hubby wanted to name him 'DOG' - because in the old John Wayne movies whenever he had a dog he called it 'DOG" but I said no so he became  Duke instead.
  All for today - need to get some errands done and have 2 classes today - one to take and one to teach....

Will-O

Hallo,
   Just a bit of computer time this am before I head off to sleep - after tonight I only have 5 more nights to work (not in a row!!) and then I have 2 weeks off!!! Yipppeee.
 I will be having a booth at a local craft fair on the 18th and then the next weekend I have a Nursing conference for 3 days....
  Todays project uses a digital image from Sweet Pea Stamps called 'Will-O and the wisps' she is by Norma J Burnell and is also available in rubber form.
  I colored her with prismacolor pencils and added her to this great 3-D Portrait frame designed by my friend Vicki - http://vickichrisman.blogspot.com/  The die is available through Accucut - http://www.accucutcraft.com/
  I added a bunch of fun embellishments and a rub-on for the phrase.
  We are finally getting some nice fall weather here in NW Florida - 60 degrees yesterday am and today - perfect for me!!!
   All for today - Have a great weekend!!!
