Mini Shrines

 

 

 

 

 

I have been making all shapes and sizes of shrines for the past couple of months! Today I dropped off 5 of these little mini shrines to a local art/crafts shop that really liked them! This is my first time selling my items in a local shop so I am SUPER EXCITED!!! I hope that they sell, but even if they don't just to know that there are a few more people out there that really like my art is still AMAZING to me!! I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter!

Chipboard Potion Bottles

                                                        

                                                           










I was  "attempting" to clean out my craft room this morning when I came across some blank chipboard bottles. I had such a great time creating some of these for an Alpha Stamps Halloween swap that I just had to use them up! So here are the potion "bottles" that I made today.

I purchasd the chipboard bottles from Alpha Stamps, though you are all crafty enough to make a shape this simple out of chipboard. The images are also from Alpha Stamps.

This is a 6X6 piece on Mixed Media artist paper. I used my gelli plate along with various stencils and paints for much of the background. I can't tell you how much fun I have had playing with my gelli plate! The images used in this piece are by Tumble Fish Studio. I just love the naughty image and quote. Even though you can't see it in this scan I went over all of the starts, moon, etc. with a Sakura Gelly Roll glitter pen and it adds a beautiful shimmer! It is a great pen to have!!

 

"Spirit" Shrine

 

This is what I was working on today. I just love the little frozen charlotte doll in there. The photo really doesn't capture this piece. I really need to get a better camera.

My first blog post!

I have been wanting to start a blog for some time, but I have been afraid of whether or not I could actually do a blog and if people would even like what I  post. Today I finally decided that I will not let fear stop me. So here is my first blog post! Please excuse my humble beginning in to blogging. I am not very computer savvy, so I still have a lot to learn.

 

 

 

Be Happy 

 

 

This is a page from my altered journal/sketchbook. The man on the right is my grandfather when he was a young man. Since his passing I use many of his images in my artwork. The title of my blog "Apple of my eye creations" is what he used to tell me I was whenever he talked with me. It is only fitting that a man that gave me so much be the center of my first blog post. I love you Gramps!
