Studio Time!!

Spent the day in the studio!! It was wonderful!! Soldered up quite a few charms, most of what have been waiting on me..finished up my end of the swap too:

Had fun deciding how to wrap every thing up for the swappers..

I also made a few of these to entice my fellow Buckaroos with...My daughter works at the High School and alot of my former classmates are on Face Book with me..

Hope I have some takers, they turned out quite nice. I have some square ideas in my head too and not using regular glass either..so stay tuned for that one~ In the meantime, I have several other ideas floating around in there that need to be out..so if you'll excuse me, I'm back to the studio to work out some of that mess that's in my head!

Hope your Wednesday is a good one!!

later,

On the work table

Here's what's on my work table: These are TINY~ One inch by One and a half inch..

Each one cut and embellished separately. They are for a soldered charm swap..The background for each is a page torn from a time book that is over 70 years old. A bit of egg display image was used in each background and each one has some type of swirl on it..and each has the initial of the recipients on it.

This is only ONE side of the charm..the other will be one of my photographs... So, if your in the swap, here it's a sneaky peak..If not..I may have some similar on my Etsy soon. That is much neglected at them moment~

We woke up to fog here in the prairie this morning..it's a bit odd to see it in the middle of summer..and the weather stick is pointing down, so that means more rain for the day. I hope it's correct on it's prediction~

I read this and thought it a bit funny, see what you think:

Number of guys who, like Tim Taylor, have asked a neighbor for advice over the fence: 1 in 4.

Number who say the advice was lousy: 1 in 5.

What do you think about those numbers?? I thought it was a riot~ that came from Men's Heath Mag, btw~

Fall Paper Cowgirl sign ups are under way~ Check it out~

Hope your Tuesday is a slow ride~ enjoy the trip!

Cloth Paper Scissors Charm Swap

Remember when I posted about joining the Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine Charm swap?? I think it was in March or so..I used the above photo for my soldered charms??? Remember?? I made hang tags and added info with them, and I'm glad I did!

Well, on Friday, I got the nicest email from one of the recipients of my charm, then today another one zapped in..


I've been waiting for my package to arrive and today it did!!
Here is what was inside:

The first one, "hope" was made by Deb Taylor, the Second one with the "Birdy" was made byDeborah Bairunas, The "beaded" one was by Sharon Taggart, and the "Face" on a puzzle piece was from Elaine Taylor, the "knife bell" was from Jill Dortch.



They were all so nice! I've emailed the artists who's emails were enclosed with their charm. One bounced back and one had no email included..


Thanks so much for my charms ladies, hope you see yours on here. I'd love to hear from you if you do happen to stumble into my little world~ I don't know yet, if I am going to make a bracelet or what from my 5. But I'm sure I will do something fun with them..

Hope your Monday is good ;)
