Grand Opening on Artfire @ My Eclectic Heart

I just found Artfire recently and after much thought I felt it was time to give it a try. I hope you will stop in for a visit. http://myeclecticheart.artfire.com/. I am very excited and hope this goes well.

My Muse has returned!

It has been a long time since my muse has been here, but I am pleased to say she is back in all her glory!I purchased this pattern for the May Pixie by Faewyck Studios from Joggles.com almost a year ago and just now got around to making her. I do love making dolls so much. I still hate turning fingers though. LOL. The embroidered fabric is from a dress I purchased at Goodwill during their big sale recently. I snarfed up a ton of dresses and such for fabrics. The hair is from a wool yarn I got at a second hand store years ago. The body is a fabric I got at a yard sale. The face and hands are also from a dress.

Just finished!

Some more sample cards for After Midnight. I loved playing with the background stamp and colors. When I finished it up, I thought Egyptian. Just happened to have a new Egyptian stamp.

I just love this tree stamp! It looks great all by itself layered on this simple card. I used Spellbinders labels four dies. It would make a great guy card.

On these kitties, I used Memories Mists and masked the image. The ca

rdstock in the background is Black Magic Coredinations. I embossed it in the Wizard with the Impressabilities butterflies after spritzing it with Wonder Goo. Then I sanded the embossed area to show the pretty base color through.

Christmas Preview

These great stamps are new from After Midnight. Are you ready for Christmas? Me neither, but I got these stamps too. So cute!

Working on jewelry

I have been spending a little time on metal projects this week. I decided to quit being such a chicken and make friends with my dremmel. Yay! Not so scary after all. Best of all, I was able to easily cut the opening in this piece of copper.

The dremmel also makes quick work of the filing. That makes me very happy because I hate the filing part, especially if I have alot of pieces to do.

Here is a necklace and earring set that I did as a gift for a friend.

This is a ring I made with a vintage button. It's not quite finished yet.

I only had enough fine silver wire for one band. I'd like to make a couple more bands and do some wrapping for added stability.
