Women of faith art.

I'm trying to get back into the art challenge blog sites again. I've been following Salt blog, but this is my first entry.

Here is my Proverbs 31:22 artist trading card. I made it a couple months back for my shop The listing has expired, but if someone comments saying they would like to purchase it I will re-list it.



I hope to add to this post after monday with a new creation as well.

Green recognition.

The necklace I made last week still hasn't sold, but it did get recognition! I made it in the sampler for the challenge! My art was picked as one of 8 out of nearly 100 entries!

Arty Girlz challenge and new item for sale!

For the current Arty Girlz challenge we're to make something with the focus being the color green. So I decided to make a Saint Patrick's day necklace for my store as part of this challenge. It is posted on my Etsy shop. My asking price is $18.

I had a really fun time making this. The beads used are all quality glass. The second smallest beads are crystal. The image is the same on the reverse side. A man's hand and a woman's hand both holding a handful of clovers, with a heart behind them. I got the image from Karen's Whimsy's free images. The image is inclosed in a couple pieces of smooth glass marble and are soldered together. The charm in total is about 3 inches long. But while it's big, it's a nice piece and not terribly heavy considering the materials used. It hangs on a soft green waxed twine rope. Necklace quality, it shouldn't be scratchy at all. The ends are finished with a 3 inch extension chain, so you can adjust the length depending on what you are wearing it with. The cord in all is 22-25 inches long. Can't wait for this one to sell. I'm so tempted to keep it for myself, but I can't keep everything I create! Thanks for looking!

Button fairy

I haven't done a Wednesday Stamper challenge in a while, and I've seen lots of people making these so I figured why not give it a try. I really love how she turned out and think I'll be making more of these.

Her wings are the stamped images. I made them using a heart stamp I've had for a while. For some reason as I was creating her I kept thinking about spring so she ended up as a garden button fairy.

I used free vintage clip art for her face and arms. And then colorized it with colored pencils. Her dress and hat are made out of scraps of fabric I have, and her buttons are from a vintage collection I lucked out to get at the thrift shop last month. I have two more white/pink daisy buttons, I think I will add them in the grass with the other, but I wanted to make sure I got her posted while it was still actually Wednesday here.

I actually broke out my glitter crayons from junior high for this one. I'm amazed that I still have those, but even more amazed that they still color and aren't dried useless!

The whole piece is 5 by 7, I love it so much that I plan on framing it and putting it in my living-room! I just need to dig out a frame for her.



A random other tidbit; This is my 600th post.

KinderATC

Stempel Spass posted a challenge to her readers to create something with the image she posted. I thought it was such a sweet image and I really love the prizes so I wanted to make a trading card.
