Haven't posted on Craftster in eons....

I've been having fun playing around with feathers lately.....here are several feather earring sets I made tonight:




I also made some feather + button hair clips:




Another shot of the same, slightly different angle:



C+C welcome! =)

Thanks, everyone! I'm happy to report that she LOVED them....they are already hanging on the living room wall in a "stair step" configuration and look so cute!

So this year I wanted to give my BFF something unique and meaningful for Christmas.....and this is what I came up with:

I made these silhouettes of her 3 kiddos with some pics I lifted from her Facebook and some scrapbooking paper I had on hand. I found these awesome 12x12" frames that were perfect for them, then added black ribbon bows to hang them by. Here are a few close-ups (sorry for the crappy pics):

(the background has a very subtle pattern, but it didn't translate too well in the photo)


(not sure what that green dot is on her face -- must've been on the camera lens)

I'm happy with how they came out and can't wait to give them to her tomorrow! What do you think? C+C welcome. 

Ooooh, I love all things tentacled -- count me in! 

I teach high school art and would like to make a little something special for my senior art students....and graduation is 3 weeks away! I need help coming up with ideas -- something unique and memorable, but not too expensive or time-consuming...does it even exist? LOL! Please help!! Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated....

I sooooo want to do this -- count me in!

This is adorable! I bet you could recycle used-up Yankee candle jars to make these, too. Cute gift/decoration idea!

I wanna play, too!

I've gone from having all-one-length, straight, brown hair forever to short and auburn in the last year....here's a photo documentary of my transformation:

Super-old pic of me with my boring hair:


Last Christmas, boring again:


With some long layers in front (not the greatest pic, but oh well):


Short, choppy layers:


Recent photo, shorter, assymetrical and auburn:


Wish I could do something more drastic, but I teach school...in a pretty conservative district.

I'm thinking about trying another color -- maybe a dark brownish-red or plum....any suggestions?

Gorgeous work!!

I absolutely love these! That first one is my fav....the peeling, rough texture you captured is fabulous! Also, the color is really beautiful in the other pictures.
