Mermaid Mixed Media

Hello again,

Thanks for stopping by.  It has been a busy week here.....hubby is picking up Crystal from down in Alabama from the base, and she will be visiting with us for about a week. Yeah!!! We have not seen her since Christmas time, and then she will be off to South Korea. I can't wait. I am slowing getting my projects posted.....it just seems like I don't ever have a spare moment. I am always in awe of others whose blog is up to date and they have made videos...just WOW!! It is never quite enough here to pull off a video...lol!! This little canvas all started from Beverly giving me some wiremesh from Amaco ..I made the flowers, then well I wanted to put the flowers on something...so there you have it. The fish is clay that I also handmade from some really old glazes from Duncan (shhhhh they have lead in them) All the old ones do. The Believe was cut from Tinkerbell cart. (Tink and Friends) from Cricut...using the negative as a stencil....inking on. The memaid was cut from the Silhouette but I used the pattern to cut the body out of tin and alcohol inked it. Then the upper body was made from polymar clay . All paints used are Golden. Oh yeah btw the seaweed is cut from Cricut  Life is a Beach Cart. The seaweed is cut from canvas. Hope everyone has a wonderful day, cyber hugs, Dawn.

Hello Everyone!!! I was so happy to hear the news.....I am now a proud member of the DT for the Chirper Challenge. I was sooo EXCITED when I found out!! Yes, I was doing the happy dance!! Smiles!!!! The challenge was to use the sketch.....well when I saw it.......everyone knowing me I can't do simple....I was lost....(me thinking I could only use this exact sketch) oh no that is tooo much negative space for me.....panic time! Okay I can do this....let me see...oh yeah sunshine was also apart of the challenge. Then when I found the Fancy Pants pp I said this is it. I added a sun from Graphically Speaking, then Magical from Tink. The wings are Fancy
pants. The pic really is magical to me. This is my 20yo dd Alexis and my 9mon. baby Dusty. They are 19 years apart. The journaling reads: Alexis you and Dusty look so magical together. To be 19 years apart your love for each other grows daily. Even though you are away at college he gets so excited when he sees you. This bond will be forever magical, it will shine thru both of you. I love both of you, forever shine!! Mom My dd Alexis loves this pic!! TFL!!

You had to have an inspiration from the necklace that is made by Theresa Martin, a San Diego-based jewelry designer who creates unique handcrafted silver, brass, and gemstone jewelry designs. I especially enjoy creating one-of-a kind pieces with sterling silver and a colorful mix of gemstones and beads. So I was inspired when I saw the beautiful pieces of jewelry. Here is the cricut cuts, Title You better Believe it cut from Tink and Friends at 2 1/4. She's ALL That cut from graphically Speaking cut at 1 1/4, and 1 1/2. The leaves are cut from Accents essentials at 1/2, 3/4, and 1. The flourish was cut from Home Accents at 5 then used as a filer behind the flowers. The flowers are just ones I had forever...... The silver flowers are Jolee's. The bird is Maya Road felt, the butterfly came from Wal-Mart . The pp is MM, and the rhinestones. The pic is of Amanda when she was 1, now she will be 16 in a few days. TFL!!!!
