Book of Spells


I've been working on this book for such a long time.  For some reason, I really need time to think about the contents and how to decorate the pages.  Then, wham!  It all comes together.  I hope you like this!  
The cover was decorated with a glow-in-the-dark bat, some embossing and Splash of Color metallic rub in gold and copper.
Some of the paper used is from Somerset studios magazines, I just painted, etc. and added poems and text.  
Most of the photos in this book were taken in Apple's photo booth.  We always have a good laugh when taking these.  This photo is of my two little ones and my niece Christine.
This photo was actually taken under water at one of my teenager's swim practices.  Gold embossing was added as an accent.
This is a photo of "Mother", yes, me, without my makeup on....I really think this is a nice picture of me on one of my "witchiest" days...lol
You can probably tell that the shelves are made from the inside of a canvas.  This was actually the easiest part to make.  I had a blast finding/creating things to decorate the shelves.  Check out the little cat on the bottom shelf, reading a spell book....I also colored a crystal (from Marfi) and added it to the middle shelf.  Can you see the tiny tarot cards used!  I have a whole deck of those too!  Here's a close up of the shelves:
Hope you're having a creative weekend!!

Another card for this weekend.

This one was made from a napkin.  I just love these ladies...reminds me of my sisters.  That's me in the middle...ha, ha!

Canvas wall hanging


Hello!  I just finished this canvas wall hanging with Viva Decor products.  I went a little rogue and did not follow the instructions...the chipboard and canvas came in a kit.  I added lots of sprays and some stamping to the pieces including on the canvas.  I just love how this turned out.  Gotta love Viva products; they never disappoint!

Fabulous fall project

This is for an upcoming class I'm hosting this month.  The book covers were made from chipboard and paint, creating a faux wood look.  I used dictionary pages or the inside with tags and TH's stain in gold around the edges.

Watercolors

Ok, we'll the other night I was playing around with my twinkling H2O's and came up with these:
The first looks like Medusa to me.  It didn't start out that way, but I think she's kind of cool.  The owl I have been thinking about for a while as I am following Julia Crane's blog....her acrylics are so whimsical and textured.

Off to the beach with the kids!



On vacation

Hello friends!  I'm on vacation right now, but taking some time to play a bit...mostly stamping.
See you soon!
