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...

 

Earrings and a Card

A friend saw my fake stamps and wanted cat stamp earrings so I made the cat stamps into earrings and sent them on to her in Florida.

Today, after much procrastination,  I made my uncle a birthday card. He'll be 80. 

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.
