What do little girls love to do? Play dress up!!! And dress up their paperdolls! She is such a pretty little image, decided she needed to be a princess! This is my entry for Art Creations Friday challenge 103.

Steampunk Postcard

This is my first attempt at Steampunk.  The challenge was issued by Sunday Postcard Art. Click on this link and look at all the awesome entries submitted for this postcard challenge. Wow!! Lots of talented artists out there.


I used some more of my found goodies for this one. Had an old pocket watch 'frame', my husband's grandfathers playing cards, and the old chain from a lamp. Always fun to use old goodies in new projects. Thanks for looking.

A little bit of spring

Spring is on it's way, I know it's hard to believe when all you see is SNOW, SNOW, SNOW. So here's a project I did last spring, hope it brings a smile to your face and puts a 'spring' in your step!

I found this old window screen and painted it, added an old pair of shutters and built a flower box out of old barn wood. I placed it on the side of our shed to give it some personality and charm! The geraniums looked pretty all summer long! The quote at the top says, "Joy is not in things, it is in us." I believe that is from Richard Wagner. And how true that is.. happiness comes from within!!!

Love Tree

What a GREAT theme. I LOVE trees! This is a pressed leaf that I've had in a book for many years. I gently cut the heart design and placed a decorative leaf scrap beneath. The LOVE is cut from a willow outside my workshop. Couldn't get the 'O' to stay bent the way I wanted so sliced a sliver off the end of a branch.... very natural!

This challenge was presented by 4x4 Fridays, here's the link check it out and get ready to participate!

I Have A Dream

Dreams can slip right through our fingers if we don't grab them and hold on tight. So...
Look to the sky full of DREAMS, hope and love. Life is for fulfilling your DREAMS. Don't let them float away!
Above is my entry for the I have a Dream challenge from the Created By Hand Challenge.
