another week fly's by...

I managed to finish alot this week... mainly because I'd already started most of it quite abit ago. But it still feels good to finish things...

here's my  submission for paint party friday! I've still got about 5 more in this series I'd like to finish but for now I got these 4 done. They might be destined for a mug design...

                                                                    The berry queen...
                                                                  All things cute....

The wildflower queen...
Not a care...


Next I finished 3 more dioramas at a coworkers request for a birthday gift. She picked the friends one, the wine one I did when I decided I didn't like a watercolor painting I had done so instead of toss it I remade it into an altoid tin diorama. These are fun and addicting... Theses photos don't really show the shadow effect of being raised up with popdots, There's 3 levels in each, like in the last one: each tiny flower is actually cut out and raised above the lady, but it's hard to show.





And for fiberart friday here's my felted necklace I was working on and only had one bead.I'm actually not sure it's done yet, the center bead seems to be asking to be even bigger and bolder and brighter!

And last, for no reason at all......here's a photo of the view from a park where I went to eat lunch the other day...



and of course... Happy crafty friday, creative friday and whimsical wednesday to everyone. See ya next week!

  2. Everything is gorgeous! Those Altoid tin paintings are just fabulous -- so much detail in something so small in size.

    The felted necklace is beautiful too -- I have to learn how to do that!
