Anniversary Project Up Close

Continued from my previous post: Here is a picture of my little sculpey owl.  He was originally made to make into a pin.

Carelessly, I dropped him, and his right wing broke off.  I could not find the piece that fell in my office where I do my art.  Someday, it will turn up.  I had a little blended color from the original project, so I made a new wing, baked it, and glue it on; then glossed it. 

The eyes are movable eyes, the kind that move when you shake them.  I glue those on after my projects are baked and cooled.

Here is my little sculpey flower I made.  I made two of these, and never used them, so I thought I'd add it here.  You can see the wired pearls in this closeup.

And last, but not least ... the butterfly was bought at Michaels or Joanne's.  They come in a set of two, and I hadn't used either, so dedicated this one for this project.  The flower was made from kleenex/tissue paper.  I used an ink pad to get the darker rose color on the edges.

That's pretty much it.  I didn't show you the butterflies or bling gems.  They are standard fare that you pick up for scrapping projects.

I plan to make more of this type of project, but in small sizes.  Perhaps for a birthday or other gift.  This particular project is about 8.5 x 11 just for the photo.  The base extends out beyond that, so it is a fairly large project for me, but perfect for hanging on a wall to show it off.

Saving with thrift store items, such as the nightgown I purchased are cheap and fun to use on projects like this.  This was a huge-gal gown, and it has ruffles and lace on it, which I also plan to use.  Its wonderful.  (I didn't know how big this nightgown was until I got it home, and tried it on.  OH MY!  It fell right off!)

Hope you enjoyed these projects.

Have a terrific Sunday.

Monday and Tuesday, I hope to post the two gifts I sent out yesterday.

Bye for now.

Keep crafting!

Mixed Media Art: Cute Little Bubble Frame

Hello again,

Again, the color quality just doesn't make it with my new cell phone.  I will need to try my actual camera, and see if it comes out better.

But since is to just show off my project, this will do for now.

The red in this is RED, really red!

Actually, the base of this was packing for some mod podge stars I picked up at Michaels.  I was getting ready to throw the container away and stopped.

This would make a really cute frame with pictures or stuff, I thought.  I had some of the pictures from the photo magnets I made for my daughter for Christmas.  I've cut them out and have them for me!  So I took 2 of my favorites, and added them here.

I took the base and painted it in several coats of acrylic RED paint.  I was going to take the writing around the box off; then decided it would add to the picture, so I left it.  I like it.

Inside the bubble are my two little pictures.  Below the girls are 4 sculpey hearts I created YEARS ago.  They were on a cute little girl holder frame I'd made.  She is covered up by my little beautiful granddaughters.

I had some paper flowers I'd made, putting a gem in it, and added that to the bottom.

On the outside of the bubble, another sculpey creation; this time it's a flower.  I put it on card stock and made the red swirly lines around it.  Another flower paper creation and gem on the far right.  And smack dab in the middle, on top, a miniature teddy bear I'd picked up on sale.  I have one or two more teddy bears, and one pink bunny.

I put it all together, and it's ready to hang.

There is a little hole that was part of the package that is behind the bear (the hole was designed for hanging the packages on the racks in the store).

This really turned out sensational.  I am in love with the finished project!

Fun things!  Do you do things like this?

Enjoy.
