Christmas Paper Crafting

With the kids well into their basketball season with twice weekly practices and a weekly game at different locations and times each week, I still like to find time to work on little paper crafting projects to please my friends.  Here's one where I combined calligraphy and paper crafting elements to produce a really cute place card setting for her Christmas tea table.

Adorable Bunnies

It may seem early for bunnies as we bundle up to face the cold and snow, but a client requested these adorable bunnies for a pendant.  Don't they bring back sweet, childhood memories?  We certainly can dream of and look forward to Spring, can't we?

Cocky Peacock

We made this pendant for a precious friend's birthday who just LOVES peacocks.  We started with a paper with a circular pattern, applied feathery strokes utilizing a felt marker and glittery glue in peacock blue.  Voila...a peacock feather!

More gifts ...

Here are a couple of customized designs (equestrian and ballet themes).  We love it when clients have something in mind and we fill the order!

Christmas Gifts

After a buzzing fall season filled with music lessons, soccer games, black belt testing and projects galore, we're settling down and working on clients' orders for Christmas gifts.  This client opted for butterflies for her BFF's and a whimsical air balloon for her sister-in-law.  The reverse side of each pendant was personalized with the initial of each BFF (or beloved sister-in-law) for a special touch.

Falling into Halloween

We were in the mood to decorate for fall as the temperatures cooled, the air turned crisp and clean (except for a few fall allergies) and there's a general lightness in the atmosphere.  We pulled out the pumpkins, autumn wreaths and candles to spruce up the place.

We then turned out some Halloween pendants.  Aren't they cute?

"Green" Pendants

We worked on some "green" pendants for a client this afternoon.  Several people have commented on the tree paintings images we have on hand.  They are lovely to behold!
