My oldest daughter, who is in school for nursing, asked me to make scarves. She is planning on taking them to the hospital around the holidays and distribute them in the childrens ward. She has such a big heart and I am so proud of her!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17588506689684276779noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584191.post-74401814922604830272013-04-20T18:18:00.001-05:002013-04-20T18:18:11.402-05:00SpringThe beauty in my back yard. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YEA9n4wMwPT6svErlwwQNkmlHh8sLc1xnbYLDbW70bvYR7szpmidLsccouOGzEuYvI1IGt7tsRfzvDuIWbKfbx7Wm_VmLfx9teL8ucNcyJTOwVCGHpfQSM9G8noi6BHqHmcn/s640/blogger-image-1750662716.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YEA9n4wMwPT6svErlwwQNkmlHh8sLc1xnbYLDbW70bvYR7szpmidLsccouOGzEuYvI1IGt7tsRfzvDuIWbKfbx7Wm_VmLfx9teL8ucNcyJTOwVCGHpfQSM9G8noi6BHqHmcn/s640/blogger-image-1750662716.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHts9nTYEtGsfTAkYk53kqdzh6gfCwkqStQIHIAtEBbxjLWTgbo132ERmFAfcn-XrzJHmuoVyroYNq7VWLKYxNT6T0ESs7xeedzFX07gl03kHlCMB9IJmVhFIgK0gECb5VuEf1/s640/blogger-image--1864085969.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHts9nTYEtGsfTAkYk53kqdzh6gfCwkqStQIHIAtEBbxjLWTgbo132ERmFAfcn-XrzJHmuoVyroYNq7VWLKYxNT6T0ESs7xeedzFX07gl03kHlCMB9IJmVhFIgK0gECb5VuEf1/s640/blogger-image--1864085969.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17588506689684276779noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584191.post-64799254681313579082012-10-20T17:52:00.003-05:002012-10-20T17:52:44.954-05:00CoLoR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week I started making these "cupcakes" They are actually wooden balls covered in yarn and "sprinkled" with paper punches as the "confetti". I came up with a packaging idea which I plan on working on tomorrow. I'll post pics once I have them completed. I may also be offering them for sale on my Etsy shop. I really need to get that back up and running. I hadn't realized that I haven't posted on here in months as I was going through so much physical pain with the Fibro. I recently started a water workout designed for people with Arthritis & Fibromyalgia and now with this being my third week of the workouts I;m actually beginning to feel so much more alive! I see many more good days to come and I'm really excited to get back to doing more "art"!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17588506689684276779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584191.post-64843958014186010862012-03-22T20:25:00.001-05:002012-03-22T20:26:14.357-05:00BeAd SoUp PaRtY bReWiNg<center><a href="http://lorianderson-beadsoupblogparty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Bead Soup Blog Party" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/limamikealpha/BSBP6-followers.jpg"/></a></center> <br>

Here was what my partner Terri sent me:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/17/1245.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/17/s_1245.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
<br />
And here is what I came up with...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/17/1246.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/17/s_1246.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/17/1247.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/17/s_1247.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
The stamped clay focal was one that I had made a while ago but the colors matched with the beads perfectly. The circle of pearls and the pearls on the drop are from vintage earrings and a vintage necklace that I salvaged parts from.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/17/1250.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/17/s_1250.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
I kept the earrings simple but they can go from elegant with a black dress or perfect with a sweater and jeans.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/17/1253.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/17/s_1253.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
The bracelet worked out great and I plan on making more with the beads I still have left so I can layer them. I love wearing multiple bracelets!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/17/1255.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/17/s_1255.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/17/1256.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/17/s_1256.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
I think the pearls, beads, lace and chain all came together awesome, even my husband loves this piece! It was definitely a challenge for me to design and execute this! Thank you Lori for this challenge and wonderful blog party! I hope to be able to play in the next one!

Here's a 6x6 collage painting that I finally got finished this week. It's feeling really good to get some of these projects finished.<br />

I started making these skeletons in a jar along with something that represents their previous life, I'm calling them "Captured Souls". This one is The Gambler.<br />

The weather over the past few weeks has been crazy! An earthquake (which I totally never felt), a hurricane and an upside down rainbow on a non-rainy day! <br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/02/1018.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/02/s_1018.jpg' border='0' width='410' height='481' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />
Yes, that is an upside down rainbow just above my house yesterday!<br />
<center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/02/1019.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/02/s_1019.jpg' border='0' width='410' height='481' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />

We were lucky with the hurricane damage only being minimal. The pine tree blew over in the back yard but it was going to fall some day anyway since, when they planted it, they never removed the root cage so that the tree could actually take root, duh! And two of my tomato plants blew over, no big deal...just hammer the stakes back in!<br />
<center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/02/1022.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/02/s_1022.jpg' border='0' width='410' height='481' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />

And here are the two HUGE spiders I found yesterday, the one inside didn't escape my shoe!<br />

<center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/25/2052.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/25/s_2052.jpg' border='0' width='481' height='410' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />
All of these vintage wooden blocks were actually hidden in the bottom of a box of other items, including the wooden furniture pictured below, purchased all for $2.00.<br />
<center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/25/2053.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/25/s_2053.jpg' border='0' width='410' height='481' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />

These little vintage elves were .25 for all of them!<br />
<center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/25/2057.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/25/s_2057.jpg' border='0' width='481' height='410' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />
These vintage Christmas foil flowers and mini glass balls were .25 for the whole bag! They will be perfect for my mini tree this year!<br />
<center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/25/2059.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/25/s_2059.jpg' border='0' width='481' height='410' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />
<br />
This plastic cupi doll was .50. I think I made out like a bandit on all this!<br />

After the sales I went to Michael's and got some clearance wire and leather trims.<br />

<br />
So, I spent part of the day today making this bracelet with my new beads, leather and some vintage links from an old choker (don't you just love the acorn design?) and a few more wire wrapped rings.<br />

I want to be able to set up a booth at this show next year. This fair is huge! They get over 20,000 visitors from all over the east coast. The entire town closes down for this event and there are tents for as far as you can see going in both directions from the town square. The main park in town is also filled to the brim with vendors.<br />

So as a result of being motivated to create...here is a look at what I've made this week.<br />
<br />
<br />

I made these wrapped wire rings from glass beads and copper wire. I wanted to practice using copper before making the purchase of sterling silver wire. I think the turned out pretty good!<br />

I used vintage parts for this necklace and earring set with silk ribbon and gunmetal chain and closure. I think it's really stunning for a Fall piece. What do you think? I'd love some feed back....<br />
