NUNN

I thought I would share the first two pieces I made for the Nunn Design team back in February. I was a bit timid to incorporate a lot of my quirkiness since these were the first pieces, but as the year goes on I promise you will see more of my signature style.

Nunn has a fabulous selection of components that I was thrilled to work with, for one, the rhinestone chain....ahhh gorgeous stuff! Nunn is also carrying the Crystal Clay, a very easy epoxy that you can color, or purchase in a color, and then set chatons, beads, metal, and just about anything your imagination can think of. It is really fantastic stuff.

I am looking forward to the month by month challenge of pushing my creative limits with the Nunn Design Co, and I look forward to sharing more creations with you!

Thanks for taking the time to visit, I always appreciate that.

IMAGINATION

This is a piece I made recently for a swap, requiring a hand drawn face. At first I was not going to do this swap, because I am not that good at it, but of all the things I want to improve on, drawing faces would rank high on the list. So, I did it. It's not the best, it's not the worst. Yes, I can draw. But I really want to understand what I am doing with each mark. I want something in between reality and fantasy. I purposefully elongated her face, trying to convey an atmosphere, but don't know what that quite is! I like some aspects of it, and I enjoyed working with the color. I still want to learn more about the anatomy of the face, and how to make it more my own. I envision a style, but it hasn't come out yet. From what I know, practice helps a lot with this, and I haven't devoted a lot of time to it, but again, it's on the list!

Thanks for visiting, I appreciate all your comments!

GLUE AND PAPER

I have been in maniac mode trying to finish a number of jewelry projects with looming deadlines. Then the holiday was mixed in also, and I am slowly coming up to breathe. In the meantime, I put this quick page together, just paper and glue, because I love playing with gorgeous papers, design, color, and emotion. It felt good to do this, and it's something I like to do to clear my mind of beads and metal and adornments!

Wishing you all a great new week!

Yes, sometimes we are all wasteful, reckless, extravagant, and wayward.......but we always return home.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by, and always for your wonderful comments!

SHABBY

Here is my March shabby journal page. The theme was flowers, so I added some of my vintage millinery flowers. I like how this turned out. The color was so strong, so I went over it in a painterly way with gesso and I really like the effect.

Thank for taking a peek, and I wish everyone a great weekend!
