Swapping Spoons

This month's PopulArt Swap @ YPP was altered spoons.  Although it was a bit challenging I had a great time. They'll be more spooning in my future.


Pendant made for swap.

Pendant made for my mom.

Rose made from plastic spoons.
 This last piece was an oops but I like it.  When making my moms pendant I did something wrong, big surprise, that made the resin not stick to spoon.  While heat setting it the entire center lifted out and I was left  with this.
That's all for now.  Maybe I'll post what my swap partner makes for me. #excited

How many sips does it take to
get the the bottom on my coffee cup?  

Wearables!

I've been dabbling in jewelry making lately which I like to call wearable crafts.  Here are a few pictures.

Family Portrait Charm Bracelet using Tim Holtz Fragment Charms



Beaded Bracelets

Cut, glue, ink, repeat...

I may not update my blog often but I rarely take a break from my crafts.  Crafting is the best prescription I know to keep me sane and whole lot fun to boot.  That's why I can't seem to post here more than once in a blue moon or when the planets and stars align because my fingers are usually covered with paint, glue, ink and embossing powder.  Makes typing a bit difficult.  Anyway, here are some of my recent and not so recent makes.  Most are for swaps (if you haven't checked out Your Paper Pantry yet you need to) and others were either random makes or projects for friends.  See you next time!
