This past weekend I attended the Afton May Fair and had my booth at the Old School House- Creative Chicks Cafe studio.  I made this 11x17 "CHICK" for Kate Sullivan and framed it!   She love it and it will hang proudly at the Old School House!  :)  I'm looking forward to doing the Afton show again in September as it will be bigger and better and fall colors all around as well!  :)

When it rains outside, it's always sunny in the studio!

I've been pretty busy in the studio today and was able to make five new creations!  I'm getting very excited for the Craftstravaganza show next Saturday on the 12th, then the following weekend the Afton Art Fair.




WOW.... What a nice surprise!!! :)

Making Flowers from Flowers!!!!

I'm all for RECYCLING!!!!
My daughter Kelly, gave me this bouquet of flowers and they were died daisies.  I dried and pressed each flower petal.  Then took a small piece of water color paper and cut it in a circle the size of a nickel.  Then I took each daisy petal at a time and created the flower.  Then took another daisy flower and glued it on top of that.    WOW.......I'm having so much fun making flowers out of recycled flowers!!!!!

Making Birch House Bird Houses

I've been making my birch bark bird houses for my dried garden flower creations.  It takes five stages to make them, and these are in stage 3.
