The Cherry Blossoms are out!

Easter Cards

Valentines

I was sitting in front of the computer last night and I had a hankering to make Valentines.  So I did.  Here's how they turned out.  The back of the Valentines turned out cute, didn't it?

Red Felted Flower Pins

A friend commissioned me tomake a red pin for her black coat.  I made these 3 this week.  Now she'll have a choice.  I like these.

I couldn't stop with the Heart pins!

I had to keep going. I made 20 heart pins and liked them so much I made 16 more little pins using the recycled handfelted, embroidered, beaded pieces that I had made 2 years ago. Here are 4 of them:

I love to recycle old art pieces into something else. I wanted to do some Valentine's Day Pins for a couple local stores so I took some hand felted floral Pieces that I had embroidered and beaded 2 years ago and cut them up to embellish these hearts. I think it works, don't you?

New Danglies!

     I started these danglies at our Menucha weekend.  I actually did them in 3 sittings.  One to cover them with handmade decorative papers, one to bead the spool, and one to finish them off with a hanger and bottom embellishment.  I think I have somewhere in the low 20's finished.  I will be charging $6.00 for them. I spent way more time than I should have on them for $6.00 but that's not what it's all about.  It more about creating something unique and beautiful out of things I already had.  I must admit I did buy a few different things of colored and silver and gold wire.  I didn't have to but I wanted to have plenty of red and green  and I was out of gold and silver.


I made these last year and decided to do them again.  I think they make a nice hostess gift or small gift for a friend.  I also like how they look on Christmas trees but they look just as nice hanging anywhere.  I always pick out a few to keep for myself and they find themselves hanging wherever so I can enjoy them year round.
