Tiny Coffin swap

The first picture is a picture of two different coffins that could be used to decorate and have fun with.
I will say the pros and cons in my perception, the either or of the two coffins.
If you do a image search for the Death Mints($3.00)you will find several places around the world that Carry's them.This could be a help if your group has people over seas and it should help on the shipping costs.The Death Mints are made of tin material.And is a little bit deeper than the Masonite coffin.Also the lid doesn't have to be attached or the coffin assembled.The bad part of this coffin is the lid has the impression of the Death Mints name on it and if it were to be decorated it would have to be covered over in such a manner for that not to show.
The Masonite coffin you can find at the Retro Cafe'Art Store,owned by~Kristin.
This is the only store you will be able to find the Masioite Casket.She does ship over seas also.I hope the link title at the top of this post will take you to the page where you can order one for your self.Don't forget to shop around because she had alot of unique stuff(including a tiny TINY coffin.
The second picture is what I have made for the swap I am in.The art doll will be on a necklace inside.I'm not sure if I am done with the painting...she looks like I might need to touch her up.I made her out of scupt-epoxy.

Spring time swap

Earlier this year I joined in on a swap with some of my old friends from Stamp Majik.This is a yahoo group owned by Joey L.She lives in Australia.This is the very first group that I joined and learned about Artist Trading Cards.I really loved this group and quite a few of the women in it.But they didn't seem to want to work on art work as passionately as I did.Then I moved on to Valerie's group (and also I love this inspiration of fantastic women)

W.T.A. swap

These are two Atc's I made and sent out to Judy H.As she was one of the winners in the "winner take all" lottery swap.One is a 4x4 and is magnetic.The other one has actual jean material as part of the backround..I called it wishing on a star.

Katlyn M. Marks,in Loving Memory of

This is the flyer I made for Katies funeral services.I did get to say my good buys.

My Niece Kaitie and her baby died...

May 1st.,2010
I lost my niece Katie,
She was 24 years old and had just lost a unborn child three days before.Kaitie was soo heart broken.I had told her it was not her fault and that God takes the lives of some early so they don't have to suffer here on earth.She understood that and beleave me she knew what suffering was.Katie was like my own daughter,we talked every day even though she was in Ohio and I live down here in Tenn.I won't be able to go to Ohio we don't have the money.
Oh thank you Juliet and Susan...yes I am hurting sooo much.The good news is that my Sister Colleen (Kaities mom)said she will pay for me to be able to come up.But they haven't finished the autopsy yet and I don't know if I can be their or what the heck is going on.I rented a car to go tomorrow morning and till this thursday at 5:30.My son Kainen will be going with me and he has to be back for his job on Friday.If you only knew Katie and how sweet she was...Please PRAY I can be there for her.She deserves my respect.

Mermaid Diorama

I made this for my sister Deanna.She asked for a mermaid to put on her wall.

Haiku Peacock finished

If you only knew how frustrated all week long I have been trying to get this one 6x6 done.Now tonight it was like putting icing on a cake.The only thing I can think of is I finally changed the Haiku poem.One of the tools I used to make my Haiku is I went to the web site: www.wordcalc.com they had a automatic syllable counter for me to use.So all three Haiku's were made by me.

Haiku

This is one of the Haiku collages I made for Maggie L's poetry swap.The back round is a shiny gold paper,so it was hard to get a good picture.I made two but the first one I sent I forgot to take a picture of so I hope Maggie will add the picture to the group album and I can snag it from there.I made another one ...
well not quite.I started another one and couldn't get it finished!I tryed every which way but did not like the end and to me it didn't look asian.That was part of the idea Maggie had for the swap.So when I mailed out the first one I stopped at Wall Mart and bought some clear stickers for four dollars.Some of them look promacing but I still think the poem looks sucky on it.It is the picture of the peacock.

Anniversary inchies

These are the inchies I made for the anniversary of Valeries group called:
The Sum Of All ATC's on Yahoo groups.

Garden Fairie Doll head

Here is what I have been working on for the last week.I'm making a garden fairie for a friend who lives in California.We have been swapping since two years now.Willow likes to make soap and she is darn good at it!So we are swapping soap for a doll.The head is made of a jewelry gourd and I have used sculpt epoxy to make the face and the ears and the neck.I will let you know some more of the process soon.Tomorrow I will be going to town and hope to find some thing to make the hair with.I think I will post the pictures on my picasa photos.I have pictures so far of the begining and will take some more till the end...kind of a tutorial.Ok,I added all the pictures so far on one photo.That should help for now.I did go to Wally world and bought some lions brand yarn for the hair but I now have to figgure out how the style will be.

New picture same bracelet

Here is a little better picture of the bracelet.It is 7 1/2 inches long.And I used tiger tail wire to hold it.Thanks for all the complements on my jewelry work.
I wish you all good luck.I have had a lot of fun hopping around looking at the wonderful work of others.Click on the one world one heart sticker up on the left hand side of my blog and you will be taken to the long list of others who joined the majik carpet ride from Lisa's.
