Autumn has caused overwhelming creativity!

I've been working my little fingers to the bone these past few days...

I've made 8 DreamWebs. I'm surprised my glue gun hasn't caught on fire. LOL

I did pretty well at the fair this year. I sold two CellPhone Charms, 2 Tshirts, and 4 DreamWebs! AND I entered the Woodland Poppet in the Specialty Doll Category and she won a Second Place Ribbon...she's very pleased with herself.

Here's my newest DreamWebs:

This one I made for my son's friend who wanted a Halloweenish one. I didn't have any Halloween fabric so I made do.

This one is called Petroglyphs. I bought the fabric because I thought it was really nice. Then a seller on Etsy posted to a thread about Mexican things...and she had the focal bead and I snagged it! It was PERFECT for the piece! And it all came together well.

I Heart Dogs!! I've had this fabric for a while...it's printed with pet names like Bubba and Fluffy and Spot and Kitty.
I Heart Cats!!! Same Fabric, just used Cat Scrapbooking Buttons...tell ya what though. Using the shapes is a bitch! I've ripped these out and started over at least 5 times on each of them.

That NewWhite Magick...sort of a play on the ancient song, "That Old Black Magic" This one is new for Halloween/Samhain '08. Michael's was having a 2for $3 on the Jesse James Scrapbooking Buttons and I went hogwild...The Stars and the Pony beads glow in the dark.

Trick or Treat!!! I bought Debbie Mumm fabric at Joann's because I think I had much left...This is a cute Halloween/Samhain one, new for 08.

Starlit Alchemy This was another hard one to make...I stumbled across "wizard school" scrapbooking buttons and got a brainstorm...
Cowgirl Up!! I go to a board where the folks are horse crazy so I couldn't resist.

What a slacker I am...

It's not that I haven't been doing things...I really and truly have...I just haven't posted anything...

Bad girl, no soup for me...

I was inspired, actually clubbed over the head by the inspiration to make like a simple doll...It was like being mauled by a rabid hybrid of an alligator and a Tasmanian Devil...just got me and wouldn't let go!!!

I also made some more DreamWebs:

Chicken Themed Ones:

The top one was going to be a raffle prize at this year's Chickenstock, but I managed to catch a bug and can't go...The feathers are from Jerry Remy, Tom Brunanski, (I can't believe I had any of her feathers) Slifer the Sky Dragon and Miss MoneyPenny: all of my dearly departed feather babies.

A Sleeping Greenman:

I had gotten a pair of ceramic green man faces when my DS and I has stayed with my SIL in NH and we went to a couple of rock shops...the feathers I used for him came from the annoying Quaker Parrots at my petshop.

A rich coloured Chocolate Brown/Teal one that I've labelled SemiSweet:

The fabric I had to buy because it jumped out at me and the bone beads and tagua nut beads I bought on that same rock shopping trip...The green beads are glass with blue flowers in them.

There's also a relative of this coming: Same material but different decorations. You'll love it...It's another rich looking dreamWeb.

Here is the piece that I had to make, was COMPELLED to make!

I call her a Woodlands Poppet. Her clothes are violet, with a print of butterflies and what might be ladyslippers and seed pods.

Doesn't she have such a cute face?

She's holding a bouquet of roses and there's a butterfly along for the ride.

I bit the bullet

I took my pendants to Greek Easter so my SIL could comment on them...She thinks they'll sell...I hope so. I put them up today on Etsy...I have cords/ribbons for them to go on...

I haven't made anything new this weekend, but just wanted to say that I'm having an EarthDay Sale!

Working my Toaster Oven to the Bone.

I've made some more Polymer Clay Scarabs...cute little devils...and some more Petroglyph Pendants. Wednesday I made Petroglyph Pendants that look like Rhodochrosite. Todays are Pistacite, pistachio nut coloured Epidote. My Scarabs from today are Sodalite-ish, blue, white and silver.

As for the pictures, the top left is the Pistacite, top right are Scarabs and a frog I made from moulds. The bottom left is the Rhodochrosite, bottom left are todays Scarabs and the one all by it's lonesome is the Scarabs I made the other day that look like Turquoise and Jade. They're all made by hand so they're all different. The clay is handrolled, no wussy pasta machine for me. LOL The colours are all blended and made into ball shapes, then flatten the bottoms and carved. After that I bake the Scarabs. In the case of the Pendants, I roll into balls, then flatten until they're wafer thin. The mould ones are more difficult for me anyways... I can't get all the little bits to show up well, but those Scarabs came out alright...The moulds came in a Make Your Own Egyptian Amulets set that I was given for Christmas a few years ago.

I also found out that my digital camera has loaded editting software on the computer...that helps my picture taking immensely...I can do all sorts of neat things with the pictures but the best thing is the cropping feature so that I can get close up pictures and more details. It's a marvelous thing...too bad I didn't think of it earlier. D'OH!

Shrinky Dinks...

These are a Tuxedo Cat and a Siamese Cat Cellphone IPod charms.

Yummy Pepperoni Pizza for your Cellphone or IPod.

These are Calico Cat Earrings.

These earrings are an Owl, and a Sun and Moon hanging off a tree. This is a Haida Raven Pendant.

This is my White Horse of Uffington Pendant.

These were my project for today. I used an idea suggested on an Etsy Techniques and Materials thread. It was about using embossing powder to seal your work. the items came out nicely, even though it was a bit messy...but these were just a trial to see how they did.

It's Monday...

Hi there again...I was working on some of my things last night and I asked for opinions on my items...the best thing I heard was that the littler ones looked like Gummy Bears...NOW THAT made me laugh...I know Bes, one of the Gods that I made would've LOVED that...I think I'll go with colours that are more natural...like a turquoise, jade, lapis, earthy shades, and metallics...so that they look more like the originals...I would LOVE to make Ushabtis...because they're cool. I also think that I'll do them more by hand than by using the moulds...I'm still thinking about things to do...ack...lots of ideas...so little time...then I got an coupon from Michael's for 20% off your whole order...ohboyohboyoboy!!! LOL
