I really like sewing and I have SOOOO many shirts that I don't wear so I decided it was time to make some pillows! All of these pillows are backed with super cozy fleece. I've already lost a corner of my craft room to them! 









Thanks for looking!

So I have a ridiculous obsession with Martha Stewart glitter and strive to own every color ever made! My mom is the queen of finding awesome books for no more than a quarter. When she gave me a dictionary, I decided that the birdies found their new home. I used a Martha Stewart(shocker) bird stamp set. After stamping them in black, I used a very fine tipped bottle to to trace the lines in preparation for the glitter. Here is the end result!

So I really like to make stencils and when I came across a ton of old books, I knew it was time. Each page is sprayed with a metallic mixture to add some interest to the background. All of these were done on an old Russian book I got at a yard sale and filled in with a mixture of Sharpie and paint pens. They all fit in 5"x7" frames. I made a dozen different people but I won't overwhelm you with them all!

Bill Murray


Jim Morrison

So my business partner and I stumbled across this awesome glow paint from a place in Chicago. It's super bright and glows for hours! What better to do with it than make some clubbin shades?! We are gearing up for Holy Ship(http://www.holyship.com) next week and can't wait to wear them! Please let us know what you think! <3

WHOA!

I have about a bazillion canvases in my craft room and it is time to put them to use! I saw this (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=388398.0) and knew I just HAD to try it!

I only had one box of crayons so I made the most of it. I think next time I won't hold the heat gun so close because I feel like the splashed a bit. Either way, I love them both and I can't wait to make a huge canvas! These are 11" x 14"

So I am definitely a flea market kind of girl. I love finding old items and turning them into something fabulous and new!

What if we did a swap where you can only use items found at yard sales or thrift stores, etc, to decorate others homes. Shirts and sweaters into pillows, plain jars into marked craft storage, vintage papers into garlands.

Anyone with me? 

Wow, it has been a LONG while since I have posted on here and boy do I miss it! I have been on a major shadowbox kick lately and these are 3 of my favorites.

This gnome is 9"x9". The statue was found at a vintage store for $4. I ripped apart and reassembled the photo on the background and secured each piece with color coordinating brads. I hot glued the moss and then needle felted the 3 acorns.


This one is 5"x5". I embossed the tree image on a blue paper that I inked after I tore it apart. The background was made using vintage book pages. The small glass birds are from a woman who my mom randomly met. Lucky for me, her and her husband bought an old glass studio and I have been having a field day with their findings!


This one is also 5"x5". I absolutely adore glitter and the Jersey shore(I am a Jersey girl). The paper is Graphic 45 and the shells are from a beach in Florida. Very simple, but definitely my favorite.


Thanks for taking the time to look and I hope you like them! :-)

So I really love making anything pin up oriented and these are a few of my new ones. All of these are collaged onto hand cut and hand painted wood pieces.

Thanks for looking!

For the geek in all of us:


Honesty is best!:


Cute but deadly:

It's been awhile and boy have I missed Craftster! Here's a few more necklaces I have made. Love my pin ups and silly quotes. They are all collaged on wooden pieces and covered with super thick lacquer for protection and shine 

Thanks for looking!

So this isn't quite a paper craft, and I wouldn't put it in the More Art section, so here I am!

I love making pin up everything. This is an 8x8 canvas painted with gold spray paint. I burned the main image and adhered the smaller ones to the back. I then covered the whole thing in UV resistant clear coat. Yay!
