Happy Accidents

Digging in a box labeled Harley Tank ornaments, I found my daddy's old ash tray. Awhile back I wondered where it went to, I was feeling all sentimental about him and knew I had a few things of his, like this.

Why do they pack odd stuff up like that? I have found more odd things in other boxes and it's been over a year since we moved..lol.. but anyway I was glad this little piece of the past turned up. Now it's going to live on my studio table and catch all my 'lost' items..things I find and need to 'file' away in their proper cubbies.. I had a dream with my dad in it the other night, and he gave me a big hug in that dream, I woke up feeling so happy. A deep happiness, that you don't have often..it was nice..



Then this thing...what can I say about it???

This is not even what I had in mind when I started..but it took on a whole nother path.. What I had in mind was bigger and mounted on chip board to hang in the living room..but instead it wanted to be smaller..

These boogers turned out to be One and A Half inches by One inch....not even what I started to do..I used old hymn papers and backed them with Cosmo Cricket , so that touch of aqua shows and the back are pretty too..And the pearls, are a necklace thingy I bought at a sale, that has so far been used on 3 other projects, it was that long..

It now hangs in my bedroom over a full length mirror...oh well, another happy accident..

Merry Christmas!

May we interrupt your soldering for..

A manic art moment...

With all my solder/glass stuff out and on the table, I was struck last night with a manic art moment..figures...

I had to make a Halloween Banner..


Then, I had to make a fairy with wings from a real moth/butterfly. I found this one along the highway when all the monarchs came thru a couple of weeks ago..I was stopping the car on the shoulder and picking up dead Monarchs and found this one too. So, last night I HAD to use it..call me crazy..I dunno..

I love this shot, she looks like she's peeking up at us:

She is in no way finished, she is going to the back side of the table to be finished out at a later day..but at least it's out of my system for now~ Why do artist have these 'attacks' of change? Just when your all involved in some other project you get hit with ideas for something else? Why do you shove everything over and start on something completely different, just to put one or the other aside for later?

I hope you have answers to these burning questions..for I don't~

Have a good weekend!!
