Thanks ! have a good weekend !

new pillow

oh ..... this one is going to be hard to part with .
I painted the girl on an old linen napkin , sewed it to a piece of muslin and made the pillow .
I added bits of my mother's old crochet doilies . I tea stained the crocheted pieces . I hand stitched this and old wood buttons and even pieces of cheesecloth .
The pillow measures 12 x 13 inches

I don't know why some things I just want to keep .... maybe because I think my mom would have liked this pillow . Sometimes I just think of her and get a feeling that she approves .

I will put this in my Etsy shop ..... maybe tonight . Michael Husband just came home > gotta shift to thinking WHAT'S FOR DINNER ! ugh

Magical Tea pot in my Etsy shop

Well ..... this is a tea pot that was at the America Oh Yes Gallery which I am so sad to say has closed .
SO ..... This lady tea pot I made came back to me and I just put her in my Etsy shop at half the price a gallery would charge .
She is a decorative tea pot . I covered the pot with polymer clay , sculpted her face and painted with ink and soft acrylics . Then I added buttons and beads , sea shells and jewels .
The lid comes off , so you could hide small treasures inside the pot .

Library Book sale

This morning I went to a library book sale .
Oh .......... what's better than a book sale ?
I got the movie star books [ only one dollar each ]
and I have never read anything by Ayn Rand .
I wanted Atlas Shrugged .... but it wasn't there .
I've read Thomas Hardy books ..... loved Tess of the d'Urbervilles and the Woodlanders .
I love the classics .
never knew about Under the Greenwood Tree .
and lately I am wanting to read about our country .
I also got an old leather bound Bible ... beautiful book .
so I am excited about all the books I got today !
more than this ..... but I just photographed these few. .
I've been away and busy > getting ready for a show at Beverly Kaye's gallery . It's this weekend .
My shop is a little empty
so I'd better go get busy !
Have a great weekend .
