Cool Card

A card to thank a sunglass maker for going above and beyond in helping obtain green ear socks!

Copper Pendant

Beginning of jewelry making....my first cuts into metal to make a design using a hand tool....very fine saw blade, jewelry saw (like a coping saw, but with 3 adjustment points). Broke a few blades (well, broke more than a few), but think I am progressed some in figuring out how to make the blade tight and less prone to breakage. Still more to be done on this...bevel, polish, etc...but light on August posts, so.....

Belated Balloon Birthday Card

Balloons on my mind, but I missed an important Birthday. So, I lined them up ready for next year. Shhh, Naomi, if you see this before the mail gets to your house!

The balloons with sewing was my first thought...but the receiver started making remarks about the shape of balloons, and I had known from the beginning that they wouldn't be usable due to the holes.

So, second late birthday (gosh, not a good trend), I used tape. Now this one can be used for next time!

Summer is still here

Just before the first day of school, the not quite so little but still little one learns to tie water balloons.  Summer school.

Glass Shard Bluebird on Canvas

CanvasBack? Oh, no, just a blue bird. Used glass shards/chips on canvas, stitched post that bird is perching  upon.  I think I just used up my canvasback duck joke allotment.
