It has been such a long time since I last posted here. I suppose Facebook is to blame but I miss blogging and seeing my artistic friends. 


I will try to be better and post more. I have gotten away from making art for self expression lately. Instead I've been busy making a lot of Cavalier related items for Ebay and my etsy shop.

 I also started making some things with old French holy/prayer card images. I love the images of Mary and the Christ child. I find them very soothing and comforting, so I was inspired to use them in my crafts.

And then there are my two puppies that keep me busy constantly! One is from my own breeding...between my Angel and a lovely boy pictured below, "Expresso,"  I call her, "Halo".

The other is a black/tan Cavalier I imported from France from a friend of mine. Her name is "Paris."

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and hope to see you more this year!

Looking forward to seeing what these two beauties can produce! My Angel is such a sweet, loving girl and
just what a Cavalier should be. "Expresso" is a darling boy and has won many titles in the show world.
I'm hoping for a new little girl to keep myself as this will probably be Angel's last litter.
Exciting!

Word Art *The Three Muses* Prayer*

Image

I decided to post this early for the Three Muses challenge this week. I have been 
having some stomach troubles and am getting some tests done so need to
post when I can. Good news is I've lost five pounds. :)

I have felt such deep sadness the past few months since losing my mom. It has
left such a hole in my heart and no doubt has affected my health. 

"Prayer" is such a blessing!
Credits go to Paper Whimsy and Tangie Baxter.

Steampunk...kind of sort of.....Three Muses

Image
Image

I love making cards and as many of you know I breed and show Cavalier
King Charles Spaniels. I make a lot of cards featuring them and this is one
I made with a bit of a Steampunk, vintage feel to it. 
I used a few images from Paper Whimsy and Graphics 45 papers. The clock
face is real and from a vintage watch. I loved being able to find a black faced one. Placed on top of an
old crocheted medallion.
Butterfly tape on inside and brass angel wings. Printed the words onto linen and cut-out...so enjoyed 
making this one!

She is bold. She is pink. She is Queen.
Used a torso tag from Paper Whimsy.
She hangs on my shabby chic china closet and unlike me, 
she always has her glasses handy!

Oo La La....The Three Muses

Image
A photo I took of a Marie half doll I made using wide ribbon, vintage tulle, lace and tiny
forget-me-nots. Her hair is wool roving. Mirror floor, small rhinestone tiara and decorative cardstocks in background.
The outer border is a photo of a gorgeous French fabric I got off of Etsy...Blurred the inner photo and bordered it inside the other. 
Carnival font for letters.
