Dream Catchers and Self Portraits

So recently, on a trip to St. Augustine, I spied a large rainbow dream catcher.The colors were very vibrant and it was also adorned with rainbow feathers and capiz shells. I figured since I know how to make a small dream catcher let's make a ginormous on. This of course meant another trip to Hobby Lobby.

Now for some updates! I've been rather busy in my workshop as of late. I've been playing with wire I made new design for my Etsy. I've added several new pieces to my shop as well.  The bracelet came out better than I could expected. I enjoyed making this I can't wait to make more.

I got a very interesting commission from my friend and fellow artist Candace Kapana. She loves to cosplay and asked me to make a translucent Butterfly hair clip. So of course I plunged Head long into the depths of the Challenge in front of me.

Here is a picture of Mock up I made. I figured out a better technique in middle of making this, but that's why I made a practice one. The wine bottle in the picture is from my Wedding. My Step Father-in-law and Mother-in -law made wine for my wedding and surprised me with custom labels.

That's all for now! don't forget to enter the Mustache Monday Giveaway! It ends Friday.

Catching Dreams

I made these Dream catcher earrings during my creative hiatus. I had never thought of wearing dream catcher as an earring. I have however always loved how beautiful they look. I used emerald thread and pheasant feathers with leftover Swarovski Crystals, from a previous project. These are now one of my favorite pairs to wear.

Today is the Forth of July I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday. I have been so far, I had beakfast with my husband and my puppy has decided to be super sweet today. For those of you who don't know I own a Lab mix named Tor, I call him Tornado. I got him a year from shelter and he's one of the loves in my life. I did manage to get amazing photos today, its always better to catch the sunlight. My

Fairy Dust Bottles and and some small rose sculpture earrings are listed on Etsy.
