Back to Jewelry

Along with pages of meditative watercolor which I've decided is actually a thing, I felt the urge to work at my jewelry bench. Since my old childhood charm bracelet reappeared after decades of being lost, I decided I might actually wear it if I tweaked it a bit. So I took it apart and made a new one. Bill doubts that it's actually wearable but I think it is. 

 

 

Today, I pulled out my laminator...Christmas gift from my nephew and his wife, and laminated some of those fake postage stamps and added eyelets. After that, I couldn't wait to see how they looked as earrings so I made a few.

More Watercolor and Another Box

I can't seem to stop with the meditative watercolor stuff. Maybe I should just sign up for the class. 

I also managed to finish another Fodder School collaged box.

 

 

Meditative Watercolor

I'm debating signing up for Willa Wander's meditative watercolor class.  Do I want to learn or do I want to just sit and paint shapes?

 

TaDa!

I finished my June Fodder School box which is now on my dresser housing my eyewear! 

Finished Fodder

 My June papers have been gathered, marked, plastered, and dyed. Now, I'm ready to do the box. 

 

I made a cool video but, once again, I am unable to upload it. 

Birthday Card

I'm finally going to visit my nephew and his wife at their new house and take a birthday present to my grand niece.  She's three now so I made her a card from a vintage flashcard...2+1=3.

Back to Fodder School

I watched the Stephanie Lee Fodder School June lessons; yes, I'm very late to the party. And I started by playing with the plaster mixture on a variety of papers. 

                   

A few days later, while gardening,  I decided I needed some small supports for the plants I put in our big pots. So I made some from sticks I picked up in the yard. 

 

Tonight, I made some marks on my plastered papers.
