She needs to dry… and then some paint… but she’s done!

Witch Win?
After fighting wind, blowing leaves, and an unstable little witch… I moved my witch building project into my garage. She’s not finished. Oh, no… there’s going to be much more to her before I let her fly! She is on duty to dry up her act while I work at the library the next few days!…
Witch Fail
She started off as just a few pieces of trash… I was trying to get just her body shape correct… My sister had bought me a great witch’s broom from Ace Hardware… and I found an old shovel handle to take its place while I experimented. This looked pretty wonky at this point! I made…
New Jack
I had a little fun today. This pile of spray foam was made when we had our shop insulated. To clean their gun, the people emptied the last bit into a pile… and I snagged it, knowing someday I would get creative with it. A few minutes later… He needed something… Though he reminds me…
Paper Folded Pumpkin
I made this for the Harvest Dinner raffle. It was my first try, and not a very good one… but I now have the process figured out if I ever want to try it again. It’s amazing what detail some people can accomplish in their book folding! I’m happy enough with my funny little jack-o-lantern!

Crafty Day

I Can Share!
I did this little gem of a “spoon” for a gift. Since it’s been given and received, I can now share with you. I’m pretty happy with the results, although it was traumatic making it. In wood burning there’s really no erasing. Oh, sure, you can sand some light burns away, but that’s not very…
Working On It
What have I been working on?
Go Create!
One of the places that sells my wood burned spoons also sells the most wonderful journals. I’m always a sucker for blank journals… the potential! I should go take a picture of them… honestly, I’d buy many! What this lady does is take old books… cut off the spine, and use the covers for the…
