It's working!

It's working! These little stems are taking AGES!!!

I will get back to you on these....

Window planters

So one of those little sample pots went further than I thought it would..... It actually painted over 3 windox boxes.

First I put some wax on to make the paint resist adhering completely.

Then I lightly sanded the top coat of paint where I had waxed. I love that distressed finish.

Then I applied the transfers, left them overnight, and removed the paper over the next few days.

I love this Queen Bee Goddess window planter.

And even the transfer came out a bit rustic looking.

Love that Queen Bee.

And here is the next one...

Karma is only a bitch if you are....

Now Serving Karma with a side of everything.

Some plants that look a bit like poison herbs....

Maybe some poison mushrooms...

Kids creative time

So I asked the children what kind of cupcakes they wanted to make, and this is what they liked....



They all decorated some each.

I think they have more fun decorating them, then eating them.

Everyone made beards or moustaches or added eyes and lips.

Love Always block 3

I am enjoying the colours of these flowers...

I don't think the petals look quite distinct enough from the background, so I think it's going to need some embroidery outlines.

And the tiny fine pieces on the block also need to be made... i am going to try quarter inch strips folded in half to make 1/8 of an inch strips. Maybe in this beige-ish print.

Window boxes from the beginning....

And for my next project, here are the  window planters.

Quite large actually.

Starting with a gorgeous base of ash, which turns out almost black.

And then I opened the sample pots, and they turn out to have much less in them than I thought. 37ml pot but in more of a 70ml bottle. Let's see how far the paint goes.

And a beautiful bit of flower blossoms picked by my son. What a day!

What a boy needs....

And while I have the waxing table out... he gets a massage .... so special....

The Sun King/Spirit in the Sky

Two songs came to me as  I created this spirit doll..

One line from the Beatles "Here comes .... the Sun King"

and that song "Spirit in The Sky"



He is warm power, with angel wings, and a glow.

He has gone to his forever home.

I always wonder what will come out when I am creating Spirit Dolls.
