Early Morning Thoughts

Journal wraps....

I decided to do up some journal wraps.  I have two done and am currently working on a couple more.  Now, for those who are not familiar with my journal wraps.  I decided a while back...about a year or so, to create a wrap that you could use around your composition books.  Since, so many of us, use them...I wanted one that would not only look pretty, but could be reused if desired to do so.  So, that is when I created my line of journal wraps.  I designed them so, you can slide your covers into the sleeves and this would allow your composition book to stay snug as you are working in it.

Here is what I have so far...

 

Bloom

Faith baby.....

I listed these in my etsy.

Ornaments...

 

Been busy as an elf in my studio lately, creating ornaments for my etsy shop, but also for a shop that I sell in locally.  

These are the ones that I have ready. I hope to have new ones within a day or so...

Here is a gift bag that I created...

I did up a handful of mini journals....

I listed these in my etsy

new journals

I have been working on some small books lately, while I am trying to finish up with the larger ones.  Here are a couple that I finished today.

These are just some of the pages from the book.

The first one is created from paper sacks...:)

The next one is a blank journal.  I created the covers from heavy watercolor paper.

I listed these in my etsy.

Ornaments...

After spending a few days down with a cold/flu...I am so ready to get back into my studio and start creating my ornaments again.  Here are the ones that I have images of so far.  I still have more photos to take of other ornaments that I have created.

I have listed these in my etsy.

Love is....

I have been busy taping for my next on-line class and in between the segments, I took a break and worked on a new composition journal.  

This one is a little different than some that I have done in the past.  I incorporated a metal frame with a vintage photo and applied wax to the journal.

 

I still have more ornaments to upload and hope to add some more this evening.  Hope that everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday...:)  

I listed this in my etsy.

 

vision and hope....

This is what my next two pieces are all about....

The title of this one...."the vision"

I decided to work with acrylics, wax and paper yesterday and this is what came from that journey.

This piece can either sit on a flat surface or be hung up.  I added a wire on the back to allow you to hang it.

My next piece is...the message of hope

What a great message this time of year....

I listed these in my etsy.

newest ornament....

Today's piece is an ornament...grace

I have been trying to create new ornaments for this year's Christmas.  You could use this as an ornament, but also as a gift on a gift bag, an addition to a wreath, stocking stuffer..the possibilities are endless.

I love the colors that are in this one.  I incorporated vintage material that are from the early 1900's.  Along with the vintage materials, I added...vintage button, vintage tart tin, rusty metal and a piece of vintage jewelry.

I listed this in my etsy.

Hope and Grace....

Here are my two newest dolls that were created for the Christmas show that I am part of.

These were created from the ground up with some vintage and everyday found objects.  Their dresses were made from vintage fabrics, dated from late 1800's to early 1900's.

Off to take more photos of my other work...:)

That time of the year....

Now, as much as I would like not, to think of Christmas being around the corner...it is coming, whether I am ready or not for it...lol.  So, I have been creating like an elf in my studio...

I have been creating pieces that are for a Christmas show that is coming up....images of some of those pieces, I hope to show by tonight.  But, until then...I have a few things that I listed in my etsy.

I have more to list in my etsy...still taking photos of those pieces.
