Back in the Saddle again!!!

yeeehaaaw!!

Boy, it stinks not having your 'puter~ I had to just get on and get off of hub's laptop..so no photos, no Etsy listings and such other non sense~

I think I posted this awhile back:

This little shrine is a good size..And I Loved that do-dad I soldered to the top of the box..but then it gave me fits..it was top heavy..had a tendency to lean forward..

But now that is solved and I'm really happy with it. I'm going to put it on Etsy, unless your interested, drop me a note if you are..

These are some new charms that are going on Etsy:

I just keep using this image..I love it...

This one is an old piece of wall paper gifted to me from a Paper Cowgirl friend:

It's one of those thick glass tiles. Love the weight of it, I'll be adding a "S" hook to it, so it can be attached to your favorite chunky necklace..

Did I show you these????

These glass hearts are going to be used in my upcoming class at the Crafty Scrapper!!! Stay tuned for that :)

Happy Tuesday!!!

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!!

Huge Frozen Charlotte Shrine Necklace

Don't you love these Frozen Charlottes?? I found these on Etsy awhile back..

This gal has been on the work table for well over a month now..Tweaking this and adding that, not to mention the layers and layers of solder that had to go on to cover all that area...

What do you think???


It's almost 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide..then found this awesome chain at a local bead store, I knew this would be perfect for it...

This glitter tube is how it is attached to the necklace..it swings from the glitter tube..whimsy?? or what??

Today I started this one..same thing..add some here add some there and let it all dry out good before it gets encased in glass...it's bigger 3x2 and I'm going to make a shrine of it..no necklace..I'm now on the hunt for the perfect feet to solder to it...and something swanky for the top..

Stay tuned..lol..

Have a great Wednesday :)

On the work table

In between doing 'life' I've been able to squeeze in some time at the work table. Here is what's currently in line to be soldered:

This is the sample of my Intermediate class at the Crafty Scrapper. We will have it sometime in July. I'm using black quite often in my work..wonder what's up with that? I do know I Like the 'pop' it brings to the vintage colors. In the class you will learn to bead solder and attach to pieces. The attachment will be strong enough for wearables. This piece is larger, like the one we will be doing in Paper Cowgirl. Gives you more solder area and a larger bit of collage.

This one I'm having a hard time letting go of it....

I've acquired a few Frozen Charlotte Dolls, I've been making little shrines for them to live out the rest of their lives in. This one is about 2 inches tall and the box is about 3" so it's substantial. I am going to suspend it from a tube of glitter. It's going to look very 'arty' when I'm done. These little shrines have been filling up my mind lately..but, now the muse has struck, and I'm wanting to paint again!!

This time BIG..paint on our Doors in the Shop Shack..you know, I painted one to look like the Texas Flag.

Well, this time I've got ideas for the door that leads into the shop from the house..you'll just have to wait to see..I've not started it yet, but it's gellin' in my mind, and from what I see so far, it's going to look super cool.. I'm so glad my hub likes me being 'arty' ....

We are headed to the flea this weekend. Maybe some cool finds and photos to show you next week!!

Have a great Weekend!!

Gonna be busy

With Spring break starting this afternoon for the Grand #1. We are going over to pick them both up for the week. So ,fun and spoilin' and playin' are going on here at the shop shack...Needless to say, Nana is going to be busy..very busy...


This was a visitor the other day on the window..all night and into the next day..

A starting of a collection of small doll heads..not the skeery ones with gaping hole eyes...

this was found in the button jar, that day we looked for Coraline eyes.. it's tiny..

Ya'll have a good weekend!!

Happy Friday the 13th..

later,t

I should be cookin'

That's what I've been working on..Thanksgiving meal, so things aren't so rushed and hurried on the 'big' day..doing things everyday to make it all go easier..

When I went to the big black mail box, my Frozen Charlotte were there..and then I started playing around in the studio:


one thing leads to another and then before you know it, you've piddled away 30 minutes...and your not doing what needs to be done..that's the life of the creative.






I forgot to show you what all I got from my partner in the Vintage Ephemera swap on Flickr:

Julie was so good to me..I feel like I shorted her on what I sent..Thanks again Julie!

Ya'll have a good week and Happy Thanksgiving!
