Projects new and old...

 Thank you Mr. Sunshine!  Today was a great day for pictures, so I worked on a couple of orders and snapped pictures of some glitter goodness and other Christmas projects.  Up first is a silver platter with a wonderful Santa from Graphics Fairy...

 I'll keep going with the upcycled plate theme, this next one is on a vintage ironstone plate with more graphics from Karen, actually she is represented quite well in this post because she is my GO-TO GIRL for graphics!  Thanks Karen!

this one has vintage wedding dress trim around the plate and Santa is poking through a little 'pocket'. I actually made these two last year and found them all tucked away in a tub when I was getting ready for the show a couple of weeks ago.  yay!  The next ones I made today, seriously do you all work like this, you start with one project and then the brain kicks into overdrive, you see something out of the corner of your eye and before you know it, you are starting on a whole new piece?  crazy, cookoo, all I know is that is how mine works so I'm usually doing no less than 5 things at once.  I know there is a pill for this but honestly at 49 years young, I figure it's too late!

and honestly, I love how these turned out so I'm glad I have no attention span to speak of!  I took a chandi crystal and glued an image with wonderful writing on it and then added a sweet Christmas bird, oh so sweet, if I do say so myself!

this one is just for me... I actually may add it to a ribbon or existing necklace and wear it!  More gorgeous script and then I stamped the number 7 on it, I have a few more of these crystals so will be coming up with more of these, I'm sure.  These crystals are unusual in that they are completely flat on the back and so make it easy to add the images.  I have some of the cut ones too so I'll see what I can do with those!

 Here is another piece from last year, I was doing wax collage around Christmas time and taught it at Lambs Gate, the antique store that sells my artwork and soap, it's very fun to do and really relaxing. New question... have you ever taken a class from someone who works on 5 projects at once? hmm... just kidding, I don't usually work on a project when I'm teaching, that way I remember that there are other people in the room! LOL!!  (plus I'll let you in on a little secret about me... when I like how something is turning out then I just might dance a little and I definitely WILL start clapping my hands and singing) it's true.  anyway,  The angel actually came from Graphics Fairy too, see she's just the best sharer ever!
I have much more to share with you but this old computer gets kinda warm when I am on it too long and well it already shut down on me once so I better call it quits for now.
I'm going to go over and link this up to the Graphics Fairy for Brag Monday party and while I'm at it I'm going to link up to White Wednesday just in case the days get away from me like they usually do!  I'm also linking  this to Boardwalk Bragfest... I love this party everyone has great ideas to share!
Hopefully I will be back before then, but if not Toodoodles!
Thanks for stopping by!  Theresa xoxo
