Ready to Fly...

Here are a few pictures of other things that I have finished and now are ready to fly! One is a chunky book swap that I am doing with one other special woman!! I found these great Angel books at the dollar store (my all time favorite place!!) and knew just the person to make this affirmation Angel book with...I am so excited....This is my opening page and I will post the progression of her and my friends as we go along! The wings have lots of texture to them, with texture magic...I LOVE this stuff...it dries so fast!! And then as usual mine is mostly painted with a few odds and ends, I also did the back of the book but I will save that for the end!!
The other is an altered painting that I did for someone else.....I do so enjoy altering my own art!
The bubbles in the background are also texture magic and then painted...This piece just makes my heart sing with the possibilities of what is in store for all of us when we truly BELIEVE!

Altered Seed Packets

The completion of another swap....This one had to do with 30 seed packets which were photo copied and made into ATC cards. I hand sewed the flowers and beaded the center, added green leaves and curly fabric coated wire...Added the little charms and the BLOOM on the bottom with brads. On the back I placed a little envelope with all the seeds and that says GROW. I will place each ATC in the packet and then tie it with a ribbon....And off they GO to Colorado where the hostess will swap them out and I will get 30 of them back...It is going to be FUN to see what everyone else does. Again let me state that this is just my second attempt at ATC's and I am not really sure what they are all about, but this was what my creative mind saw when I looked at the package....ENJOY! Oh and don't you just love the glitter!!

Altered Match packs swap!

These are ready to go! Again feeling a little like a fish out of water I altered! BUT I painted too!
So I took the match packs and placed them on different tin elements and went from there...A little plaster, a little paint, a little inspiration! Actually I like these a lot and think I just may do some more of them...I like putting the inspirational affirmations on the front...I am thinking of a few different ways to do them, BUT for ME...the main thing is that I HAD FUN! They worked up easily and the thoughts of what I can do for more is endless! NOW that is a GOOD ART day!
Artfully Yours,
