Little bit in the studio

Got in the studio a bit the last couple of days, and soldered up some charms:

Christmas ornies for my Etsy shop.......


This is a swap:

With Marsha, from Tumble Fish Studio...She is a wonderful artist and did this collage, she made it tiny, tiny..she made one for me too..

Then, I added a collage to the backside..This is a copy of one of my personal photos, I love to use. It is one of the first photos in my collection that started a few years ago..thanks to Ebay..

I made a couple more of this gal too:

She's another personal photo from my collection. I love the look on her face...

I find this saying very fitting with this picture. We all need a kick in the pants from time to time, don't we?

Have a great weekend!

Spreading my wings

Remember last year, when I told you about the Monarch butterflies passing through?

How I found some of the poor things, dead or dying in my yard?? I kept them..in a drawer, in my hubby's desk..I didn't know what else to do with them so they would not be squashed~ he was not to happy...but he didn't squash them..

The other day, I took one of them out and used her for this piece..

Did you know it's difficult to photograph yourself, wearing said necklace???? But I needed to show you how long it hangs from it's leather cord..So, this is the result:

I'm very pleased with it, what do you think?? I'd love to hear from you. i will be adding it to Etsy in the next few days..

I have to share this with you!!!!

Marsha at "Tumblefish Studio" and I are in a swap! She's making her famous art work and I'm going to encase it in glass for her to have some pendants! Look here at what I'm going to receive !! I have admired her style for a long time and we've been chatting back and forth for a bit now..this is just the gravy on my biscuts!! I'm going to have a piece of her work!! Thanks sooo much Marsha for swapping out with me!! Girl! you ROCK!

Hope your Week goes well!! Happy Monday!

Monday pictures

This weekend, I got some things done on the work table...mostly soldered up some Charms.

I had this gal all taped up, but she needed some solder, I tweeted about her last week..if you tweet, my id is CollageMojo..




These little bubbles are going to be on Etsy sometime this week. The Angel, is one of my Muse art works I showed you a few months ago..

Then, this one is the result of the Sally Jean channelling I was doing last week..I hope I didn't take away any of her Soldering Super Powers doing that...

It's not even cleaned up and there is still goop on the glass..but I had to show you...The glass grinder made this shape possible..I'm glad I finally got one..it wasn't has hard to use as I thought it would be...like using a wood sander in a way..This is going to be in my suitcase at Paper Cowgirl Vendor night!!! with some more embellishments..

Remember, Paper Cowgirl sign ups close today! 5 pm..I'm taking the buttons off the blog..so you can not purchase any more classes or register.

Happy Monday!!

My personal Challenge

I think last week, I told ya'll how I was enamoured with Michelle Caplan's work in the latest Somerset Studio...

Well...here's my version:

I gave it to hub for his birthday last Sunday~ It's 5x7..I really made like 4 versions of it, before I got one I liked..he was impressed...but, then said the red lettering made me look like I had 'kool-aid lips'...oh, well..I tried..

No, I'm really happy with it and want to do more..right now, I'm channelling Sally Jean. I purchased a glass grinder and have been using it on various shapes of glass, the latest being a Gothic arch!! Stay tuned for that one..

Hope you have a great weekend!
Be safe!
