My thank you gift

to the gals who have signed up for my altered bottle class at the Hilltop Memories crop. We'll draw numbers and pick. Everyone gets one finished and one raw clothes pin. Hope you all like these. The idea of painting them pretty colors came from one of my favorite magazines, Somerset Life! I've added rub ons and gems and (don't tell)kept a few raw ones for myself for another idea I have brewing. Thanks.

Altered dress form

I did one of these metal dress forms about 3 years ago and have collected four in all of various sizes and shapes. I have decided to do the four seasons out of these for a rotating display in my work room. This is Spring. I think she needs a hat with netting and a tiny bird, what about you?

Finished the danglies for the swap

Poor poor altered art blog...it has become riddles with cob webs from lack of use! I've been madly scrap booking and need to devote a bit more time to this blog too!

These are my danglies for the swap with some of the By Hand artists from Quetfire. These are some of the the most talented women in the altered arts/stamping field and I just hope these are up to their standards. I had such fun creating a variety of danglies for the swap.

Am working more and more on my Through My Garden Gate album and will post an update ASAP. I am teaching two classes at Hilltop Memories Birthday crop in a couple of weeks and one is my altered bottles class. I could only find bottles for 7 and each gets 3 different sized bottles, two sets of rub ons, a topper or two and use of the Lumiere paints to colorize the rub-ons. Such fun! The other class is the Cup Cake book and it has been a delight to design. Still have a few opening for that class!

Off to play!

Good things come in threes!

This is such a fun project and these make the best gifts filled with bath salts or even seasonings for a kitchen. I love doing these!

MIA

Sorry about that...I have neglected my poor little altered art blog and am sorry. I have a few things I have been working on in the altered realm but nothing is finished. I have done several layouts and fun things of the scrap nature and put those on the other blog.

I promise to have more goodies to share very soon.

More danglies

These little guys are addictive....the possibilities are endless and so much fun. I probably have about half the contents of my work room on the desk top from the last couple I made. Have to stop for a bit and move some laundry along...but I shall be back, baby! (said in my best Arnold S voice)!

Watch this spot!

More danglies heading this way....I've been creating like a mad woman with little time to blog here. But just you wait and see, my pretty(said in my best Wicked Witch of the West voice).
