Altered Bottle Challenge

The January challenge for the Etsy Melange Team was to alter a glass jar or bottle. I've been quite busy this month so I am running in here

at the last minute.  But I found this art form to be quite fun and may even be addictive.  As I worked on this bottle I found my mind racing at all the possibilities for more bottles.  Oh no!  I see another junque shopping trip on

the horizon!

Mixed Media Monday

The theme for the Mixed Media Challenge this week is "I am Woman". I have chosen to focus on a woman in the making, one looking forward to the future with her dreams. This original collage is 3" x 5" and is for sale in my etsy shop.

Melange Challenges

The Melange Team is having 2 challenges right now. This week's word challenge is heavenly. Here is my entry. You have probably seen this one before. But it fits so well I decided to enter it anyway. The quote says "And on the 7th Day He rested... with a cat in His lap." I personally authored this quote and I am quite confident that this is true.

The second challenge is to use fabric in some way in your mixed media piece. The deadline is today. And true to form I am sliding in at the last minute. Here is my entry. It has felt and vintage tatted lace for fabric. It is also embellished with vintage buttons and a stamp. The quote says "The road to a friend's house is never long." Actually I use lace in lots of my work and I could have used many pieces. But I've been wanting to do something with these felt flowers and this challenge gave me the spark to make it happen.

Mattie Rose's Glamour Shots

I know......its only been a few minutes since I posted.  But I remembered I'd not shown you Mattie Rose and her glamour shots.  A few weeks ago I was getting ready to take pictures of some new items for etsy.  I got it all set up with a vintage lace background.  Then I turned around to pick up the piece to be photographed first.  When I turned back to the lacy box I'd just fixed, this is what I found.

Needless to say, I let her stay and found another way to photograph that day.  She was just too cute to move.
