Posting pics of what I sent to Avi.~

I made a 24" long necklace and an 8" bracelet to go with it. I made the manatee's out of sculpy and painted them. It was the first time I've done anything with clay so I was -really- pleased with how they came out. <3 I bought some shell charms to put with them. I think they were aboloney? However that's spelled... >_>; Hope they fit ok Avi! ^^


Next I made 2 flannel manatee's in Avi's fav colors. I was gonna give them eyes but thought they looked cuter without them. I found the pattern for them here on Craftster so thank you to whoever made it! It totally rocks. <3 ^__^


And last but not least I made her a manatee pic. I took a pic that I totally love and printed it out for her and then made a matte for it and put little metalic hearts on the corners. For a hanging thing I used the tab from a can of coke and taped it to the back.


Well enjoy. <3

There sure are a lot of cute manatee stuffies in the world now thanks to this swap.

Good idea with the pop tab for a hanger.

manatee purse... so.... cute!!!  Does anyone have a pic of just the purse alone- I am so curious!!

[titancia]

That is so neat! I love the little manatee bottlecap looking pin.

Shortly after I made my post of awesome stuff from Harvey I took a photo of the drawing her daughter made me, but I just haven't posted it. So, here it is, my manatee photo by my framed Cinderella frames! (Yes, I know I'm a little old to have Cinderella on my walls, but my walls are Cinderella Blue! They scream "CINDERELLA!" ^_^)

[Tsuki_Tsubasa]

butofcourse- If Avi dosen't have an alone shot of the purse I can get one sometime this weekend. What particularly are you wanting to see about the purse?


titancia- Nothing wrong with Cinderella on the walls! I have Beauty and the Beast on mine.  Also very cute manatee drawing! <3 Looks like with Harveys daughter we have a future artist to join our ranks one day.
