It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. I actually have been creating but mostly personal stuff.
These are a couple of ornaments that I finished today. 
I think I have half a dozen more to go.
Can you tell what they are made from? Check out the post labels for the answer.
The Dec/Jan issue of Somerset Memories was in my mailbox today…and why is that significant?? Only because I have a piece of art published on page 63!
I am awaiting a reply from the publisher as to where or not I am allowed to share the image or not. Otherwise..hope you can take a peek at the magazine sometime.
UPDATE:
I got permission to share my published piece with you. In the magazine it’s framed but I wasn’t able to take a decent photo with it in the frame.
This caption appears next to the photo:
I made these late last night but was just too tired to get them posted.
I like these but not nearly as much as my first ones.
I’ve been saving bottlecaps for quite a while now…my neighbors and family even save them for me occasionally. Nice to have people like that even if they do think I’m odd.
I was inspired to make these bottlecap magnets aftering seeing a post about some Christmas ones on Ali Edwards blog.
I only had very thin sheet magnets at home so they aren’t really strong enough to hold up anything but themselves. Who said art had to be practical, right?!?
I have 16 more sitting taking up precious table space while the Crystal Lacquer dries. Next time …hopefully…I’ll remember to put them on a tray or something so I can move them outta my way!!
UPDATE: Here are the 15 that turned out…
Here is my postcard poking fun at the chaos of some peoples Christmas. I’m glad our family has the “keep it simple” policy. :)
The second one is giving a little jab to some of the clueless husbands out there. 
Glad mine isn’t one of them. Love you sweetie!
I picked up a this book at a local thrift store the other day. I had originally intended it for something completely different but decided since it was small that I should just dive in and play!!
I
really like 3 of the 5 pages.
The other 2, I am not so pleased with. I don’t actually hate them enough to cover them up but may go back and revisit them later to see if I can make any good changes.
Can you guess which ones I like??
I still have plenty of room to play some more in this book. It’s very freeing to work without a theme…at least for today. :) Sometimes I need a theme to get me started. In fact this book was planned to be a book in which each spread dealt with one of the senses. Yeah…that changed pretty quickly.
This is a piece I did last year but it seems to fit the Illustration Friday theme perfectly!!
