Clay Medallions and a Couple of Cards

I loaded up my virtual shopping cart with air clay and a few accessories and the remembered I had some...and I managed to find it all! I made a pile of medallions per Jane Chipp, and then attached doodads with some fine gauge wire. They are all hanging in the window on our airing deck so everything looks all floaty! 

(I did see the dead piece of Christmas cactus after I posted the photo...it's been removed. LOL!)

I also made a couple of quick Halloween cards for the kids across the street...gift cards included. 

 

Boxes

I started another Fodder Challenge, the wabi-sabi boxes by Roxanne Evans Stout. For this one I delved into my supply of grungy,  earthy neutrals and I made some boxes.

 

Then, I made some more boxes...

And then I made one more box...

Oh, and I also painted this Killer Tomato at our last puppet making session.

Fodder Challenge: Envelopes

I didn't create the alcohol inks on mineral paper fodder from the Karen Elaine lesson, but I did jump right into her perfect little envelope instructions! I pulled out fodder from past Fodder School lessons for the challenge and started folding! 

Piles of Cards

 I can't walk by my studio room without ducking in to make another card. But I did take the time to make one special one to mail some stickers to our grand niece. 

 

More Cards

I can't stop making cards! And after a friend offered a connection to someone interested in selling them in his store, I have a reason/excuse to keep making them. Here they are so far, each in their little cellophane bags! 

I might have made a couple more on my way to publish this post. 

Fodder Challenge 2025

I signed up for the Fodder Challenge and then decided to go ahead with Fodder School 5. I've just done the first challenge with Cheiron Brandon. It's nothing earth shattering but I'm enjoying it so much...worth every penny. I feel so much better when I'm creating!

I didn't buy the alcohol inks and worked with watercolor instead.

I could hardly wait to cut into them and make a few dimensional cards.

 

 

I've also been hanging with the puppet crew in Point Place on Wednesday nights. I'm painting man eating flowers and converting last summer's colorful fish into fish bones. 

 

 

Faux Polaroids

 I had some prints made of Bill and me and he didn't like most of them, so I cut one up and rearranged it into a faux Polaroid. I added it to my " family album" journal.

 And I wanted to make a birthday card for my nephew. I'm on a little bit of a faux Polaroid roll...
