When we got the call that school was closed for the day due to 6 inches of new snow, I must admit I was relieved. At last an excuse to hide away from our schedule and just concentrate on some forgotten projects that were calling my name….
Combining all of my favorite things in this little beaded winged heart. I love using my Accucut to cut out all the cool shapes!
Before adding any color, I used my carving tool and gouged out some knicks and lines out of the wood panel. It helped to give the ink a place to play.
I had some 4″x 4″ wood squares that needed some paint. The text was taken from some old airplane maintenance books from the 40’s. I love combining the technical verbiage with the loose, colorful imagery.
A quick shot of a few of my projects in progress. I love putting the pieces together to make a whole.
It’s Valentine’s Day- and my most favorite day for making crafts! The red hearts are little lapel pins that were super fun to make- just glued my favorite art angel face onto a paper scrap for the body, onto a little wood heart. Gave it a coating of Glossy Accents and added a Swarovski crystal for the bling. After gluing on a pin back, these little ladies were ready to be worn on the town.
The bird and nest ladies were my designs, glued onto larger heart wood blanks. Added some strong magnets to the back and they were fun to hand out.
I also included some of my paper ladies that I used for Valentine cards. I made them the same way that I did my Christmas tree labels. Sticker paper is the best for making unique sticker visuals. I like to seal my with spray acrylic to shine them up and give them some depth.
