Demin Cases

Hi everyone!

I feel like I haven't logged on for a while! Thanks to Allison for keeping things fresh and new on the Moonflower Art blog!

This has been a busy time for me with my jewelry business...Valentine's day. I had a lot of fun creating heart and love themed jewelry.

I also decided that I wanted to sell the barrettes that I make for Moonflower Art at The Muse. To do this, I thought that I needed some unique packaging that would also work as a display for the barrettes. So, I got out the sewing machine, a pair of scissors and my son's old jeans. I made a case for the barrette out of the old demin and a button cover with a photo transfer image that coordinates with the barrette.

Here is how they turned out:






Above, are photo's of the case & matching barrette, the back of the case and another case with the photo transfer button cover.

I am really excited about how they turned out and plan to make more hair barrette's with the demin cases for Moonflower Art on etsy.

I hope you all have a wonderfully creative day!

Pincushions

For a while now I've been playing around with felt. You may remember sushi pieces earlier... that never actually came to fruition. So this morning I gave it a new try.
This time - MUSHROOMS!So here we are. I am going over to etsy to list this now! I plan on making several more this weekend. Mushrooms and other styles as well!
See you Soon!

New Book Baubles!

Yesterday I said I wanted to make silver heart beaded bookmarks... baubles.
Well... I looked thru my stash and couldn't find any sterling silver hearts! Go figure...
Despite the minor setback, I made a few baubles...
the first reminds me of beach/pool reading. It is made with handmade paper beads (set in epoxy resin so they are glass like). Don't you just love how you can see the print?

and the second is romantic...
and motherly... (does that make sense?) I was thinking Mother's Day. beautiful glass beads and a fine braided cord make this one perfectly soft.

these will be on etsy as soon as I get finished here!
I think I am really looking forward to warmer spring weather. everything I am thinking of and making revolves around new growth! I can't wait to be able to spend some quiet moments outside breathing the NEW air in!

I hope you are having a great week. See you next week!

Where has the time gone?

Wow... after a few snow delay days and "almost snow" snow days... it seems like forever since we got one solid day of crafting! And we are nearly done the first week of february. (and where is all the snow anyway? Certainly not in New Market, MD).
Tomorrow I will be concentrating on making LOVELY gifts. I'd love to put together several silver heart themed beaded book marks (baubles).
I will try to post a picture then!

Hope you are having a great week...
