I had some scrap pieces of some Salvaged Wooden Molding, sitting beneath the workbench, cryin' out 4 some attention.........
So- I gave 'em some.
And-this-is-what-I-Made.

I've created this elegant vase by covering a ceramic vase with polymer clay, iridescent red glass gems, iridescent czech glass beads and metallic paint in Chinese Red, Emerald, Jade and Gold Leaf.
One of my favorites! It's beautiful all by itself but is water-tight and could also be used as a fresh flower vase.
It measures 4" x 3.5"

I am revamping an old chair of mine as a fun art project. I have collaged the seat and the back rest parts of the chair with magazine images, and the rungs and legs are going to all be covered in old sewing pattern paper. This is my progress on the project thus far. I'm enjoying it, and i think it looks pretty good! This is a pretty good closeup of the chair seat collage!

almost complete!
pending accessories and varnish.
just add yards of bakers twine and ribbon.
this duo will hold your needles and keep you company as you keep on and craft along!
These glasses were so FUN to paint! The original design was all in red/yellow, but a very creative customer asked me to paint each in a different color! GREAT idea! Sure makes it easy to keep track of your own glass. :-)
They are high quality 20 ounce (591 ml) wine glasses that measure 8.5 inches and are individually freehand painted on the outside of the glass with a multi colored fiery design.
I have painted other coordinating items in this same design such as plates, tumblers, pitchers and decanters.
One of my favorites, for sure!
This is a charm bracelet that I sold in my etsy shop. The image was no longer available in one of my blog entries. I needed to do an upload to flickr so that I could redirect to this link.

I've taken a very nice lidded jar made of heavy glass and added pieces of art glass and iridescent glass gems. The art glass is a assortment of textured, iridescent, marbled and opaque varieties. Surrounding the glass and gems is black polymer clay. Once the clay was cured, I painted it with a variety of metallic paints in antique gold, jade, emerald and gold leaf.
The jar weighs nearly 3lbs and measures 4.75" square and 5" tall.
