I saw these really cute snow globes in the Sundance catalogue (super over-priced) that used mason jars as the globe. Then looked they up on Pinterest, and of course they were everywhere. I bought some sculpey, glitter and jars today, and we (my parents are here for Thanksgiving and my son Tanner also joined in the fun) started working tonight. Not a one night project. Very crafty, but fun.
These reversible belts were hand-printed with hand-carved stamps made by me. They are made with very studry canvas and muslin (so they stay put once you put them on), and finished off with a high quality acrylic resin buckle. I used the same stamp in the red and yellow belts to create the surface that I used to cover my bracelets. $30 each.
Somehow the owl looks bigger on the tee shirts than the softies. Nope, same owl. The first tee's colors are hard to capture on film; a really pretty grape-y purple paired with a ever-so-slightly metallic shade of peachy pink. My favorite combo of the three. The tees are by Bella, and they run really small, so I only did mediums and larges. Hoping to create more tee designs after Christmas. Oh, $25 each.
Personalized Snowman pillows; your choice of hat and scarf color and family personalization, $40. On my couch already : )
Two more completed wedding pillows; one hand-stitched one machine-stitched.
Some of my new line...Very proud to have created all original surface design through block printing and silkscreen. Not pictured are owl tee's, and hand printed, reversible belts. First holiday show tonight.
Printing on tissue paper today for wooden bracelets that I purchased on Etsy. They coordinate with my belts and tees. We'll see....
These paintings were just finished by my 5th grade students. We spent three art classes drawing outside. They were thinking about close and far, and trying to create the illusion of depth on a 2D surface. They also used oil pastels on their sketches to identify the shades of green, brown and surprising pops red, orange, pink and purple that make the greens look greener. The sketches were then translated into these 18 x 24 tempera paintings. I just hung these today on a bulletin board in my classroom and they are putting me in such a good mood.
