Me!

Whoo hoo! I finally get to take a photo class and I am so excited. I will be taking a digital photo class with my friend Carrie. So looking forward to it. Will definitely share the good the bad and the ugly. Sorry, but it well be a learning process and hope you enjoy.

Metal Cross

Just needed to take a break and create something new.... I've been so busy making stuff for Glitterfest that I just needed to break away and do something for me. I love how it turned out. A special THANKS to Donna Gunn for helping me with the twisted wire which she calls "tornado twist" and the beautiful clasp. I really had a lot of fun hanging out with her, she's definitely a talented lady. You can check out her site at www.donnagunn.blogspot.com

Copper Necklace

This necklace was inspired by a young guy that walked into the Garden of Beaden. However his did not have any other metal attached to the front. His was stamped on the front with metal stamps. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. I loved the way it rolled over on top so that you were able to put a chain through it. Being that I love hearts I had to add that to mine. I wish I could remember his name in order to give him due credit. Though I'm not sure he made it either, but it did so inspire me. The picture behind it is my mother when she was a little girl...

A small book for Quotes

This little book is for those witty quotes or that clever phrase that we read some where and don't want to forget. It is just the right size to put in your purse and carry where ever you go. For the cover of this book I used nickel silver sheets with a little distressing, torching and adding this cute little ballerina. I found her at the Whimzy swap meet and fell in love with her, and now she adorns my quotes book. I did add a little color ink to her dress to pick up some of the color in the book.

The Girls
