Wooden Earrings

 Today I wanted to share my newest jewelry designs with you!
I have been having SUCH fun making these adorable wooden earrings!
The earrings are made from wooden shapes
 that are painted and glued together.
A few of the pairs also feature a layer of trimmed toothpicks in the middle.
The small wooden pieces in the center have been accented
with this amazing new mixed media paint from Pebeo.
The paint is designed to create these awesome special effects as it dries.
Also, when you layer two colors of paint, the colors will not mix.
They simply create a beautiful layered effect!
Here's the Pebeo website if you want to learn more.
These awesome paints are available at Michaels & Hobby Lobby!
I hope you enjoy these beautiful creations!

Before I sign off, I just HAD to take a second to share this adorable
pic of my perfect and amazing calico kid named Cookie.
For those of you who know me, you know that Cookie is my pride and joy!
This cat is truly something special to say the least!
A few weeks ago, we were cleaning in our shed and I decided
to bring out my kid-sized couch
 because I thought Cookie might enjoy sitting on it!
Well, I was right! Cookie is TOTALLY in love with HER couch!
She sits and sleeps on it constantly and even got mad at me for a few hours
when I vacuumed HER excess cat hair off of it - as if I had ruined her throne!
Anyway, here's an awesome photo of her
 chilling out on her new favorite spot!


Have a happy day and thanks for visiting my blog!
Blessings, Heidi

Newest Artsiness

Just wanted to share some of my newest doodles & jewelry with you today!
These first 5 photos feature doodles with colored backgrounds.
{I am using the new Gelatos from Faber Castell and they are AWESOME}
I also use rubber stamps and watercolors along with the Gelatos.
I have only been playing with the Gelatos for a few days
which is why I only have 5 designs done! I hope to have many
more of these in the coming days! Stay tuned!

 I used metallic markers for this doodle.





These are some more of my black and white doodles
which I also do on a regular basis!






Last but not least, my new earring stash made from
 craft foam. multi-colored embroidery floss & decorative brads! 

Have a blessed day!

New Jewelry and Crayon Art

Good afternoon Peeps!
Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS day!
It is cold and snowy {yes, snowy} where I am today
so I thought I'd take a moment to share my newest jewelry
and crayon art pieces with you! Hope you enjoy!
 Here's my newest leather and lace bracelets!
The three top ones feature quotes spelled out with stickers.
The stickers are stuck to a piece of leather that is then
adhered to the bracelet {which is another piece of leather}.
The quotes are accented with lace which has been watercolored
as well as some metal brads on either side.
The bottom bracelet saying is spelled out by using alphabet brads.
Yes, I actually melted crayons to an old rusty saw!!
Don't ya just love the modern and rustic look - I sure do!!
The quote at the top says
"You are a weapon. Stay sharp - Seek balance"

This is my most ornate crayon art piece yet.
This is an "upcycled" metal sign which was given to me.
I used metallic paint to sponge a fun border on the metal frame.
I then covered the center section with old sheet music.
Then I arranged, glued and melted my crayons.
Lastly, I arranged my words on some painted popscicle sticks.
It reads "Follow the rhythym of your heart"

Hope you like all my new creations!
Heidi
