More Beaded treats




Here are some of my beaded tattoos.  I like the way they fit tight to the wrist so you can wear them  comfortabley.
These pictures are sideways but they still show them off pretty well.

New series of drawings

I have a new set of drawing to put on the blog today.
Featuring two of my favorite things Coffee and Chocolate.
I hope to make them into a series of cards eventually.
I will also add some bright colors as I think they would not be totally complete without some.



These are just the line drawings for now.

Zen Tangle Boxes

I love the art of Zen Tangles.
I need to get back into the practice but here are a few of the boxes I have created.




It can be an obsession once you get started but is very calming as well.

Experimenting..........

I have been working on some copper jewelry and love the looks I'm getting.
The chain I'm working on is really coming along.
I have been reading the book by Stephanie Lee my friend Steph gave me and it gets the wheels in my brain going.  I can't wait to make my version of some of these pieces.  Or at least play with the techniques.
I have a pipe cutter now and and am experimenting with it.  It does take some time but is well worth the effort to cut through copper pipe.  I hope to try some sodering in the next couple of weeks.
I am organizing and de- cluttering some of my art spaces. I say spaces because I have a room up stairs and then my chair in the living room where I land is my downstairs art nest. Its amazing how out of hand things can get. 
Between beading, making cards and wire working & drawing & Painting, tools and supplies tend to  get mixed together.
It has been a great weekend to get chores done early and spend the rest of my time creating.  The rain is non stop and being inside with a hot cup of coffee, curled under my soft blanket (Sue) is the place to be. 
I love the free time to do whatever I want with very few interruptions.  A little slice of heaven.

Jan 2nd/2011

Creating magnets today and enjoying the outcome.  I'm using my own drawings and having a lot of fun.
Hopefully pictures to follow soon.  So far 2011 has been a very creative year.

My friend Stephanie gave me a great book for Christmas by the artist Stephanie Lee.
I made my way to TruValue hardware in Molalla and got some supplies to prepare me for my next adventure. Pipe cutter and some copper piping.
I still need a few othe things and we'll see how things go.
Here's to a fantastic, creative, wonderous new year.
