Vintage Women

So here is my take on my friends idea.  Tabitha set up a swap in the Vintage room.  The stipulation was that you had to use images from the college sheets she made for us.  The images were black and white so I took the time to color them with colored pencil (so is watercolor pencil). So vintage ribbon, vintage repo papers borders, stamps and some embellishments.  I haven't really created anything for a trade in quite awhile I think these came out pretty good. I'm just saying I would keep em.  Lol.

I'm sorry for being away but I'm dealing with my personal life.  Which is not so fun sometimes. I haven't had anytime to myself let alone to create something.  So This past week I have been taking sometime time in my craft room.  The first piece I created was the one above which a beach inspired beeswax canvas.  I haven't touched my beeswax in FOREVER.  I'm actually running low which is probably why I haven't touched it cause I felt like I wouldn't have enough for my next piece and I haven't been in a craft store in ages, but I need to make a special trip to get some beeswax.  I have to put the blinders on though.  Today I spent the second half of my day in my craft creating a college to cut into LFB sized pieces.  I find this amazing.  That something 12x12 looks so different when you cut it into little pieces.  Below are the results.

Buttons and Roses galore

Well I have been keeping busy with my craft show stuff in between life so here are the newest necklaces in COLOR.  Unfortunately these will be very limited because I'm having a hard time finding colored buttons.  I will be doing some antique store shopping and my mom gave me the idea of going to Salvation army to get them off shirts when I can't find them by the bag.  As for the rose pins there are 56 in total which you see above.  Then you might notice a poker chip that isn't a necklace that's because I made it into a pin!! I'm considering making a few of them for the show.  and last but not least are my rose bobby pins.  They look amazing in an undo.  I'm currently wearing a special one I made in my pony tail.

A rose filled night

So this evening I sat down to produce some roses.  These roses will become pins and headbands for my upcoming craft fair I don't have the ribbons that I need to do the headbands at the moment or the pin pieces for the pins so now all I have to do is put the items together and glue.  The hardest part is complete.  I want to do a couple dozen more but I have cut more paper.  I'll probably do that tomorrow night after a very busy day.  Then I can do what I just did sit down and pop together some more.  Right now I'm playing with some different things to create the color.  I'm adding color to just the edges one the top three (pink, green and purple) and then the two lower pictures (purple) are glimmer misted.  The first I went heavy with the mist but the last one I went really light.  I will have to do a bunch more with glimmer mist.  I'm liking how they are coming out.  Now my fingers are covered in ink and clear accents.  Oh well.

button necklaces and rose pins

I'm preparing for a craft fair May 22nd.  So I started working last night on producing button necklaces to sell.  They are made of mostly vintage buttons, thread, and hook and eye latches.  I love making them!! The roses are actually pins that I made a couple weeks ago that I never took a picture of.  I have to make a lot more before the fair.  I have headbands, pins and button necklaces in my future!! lol
