What She Saw...

...lately she has the inclination to turn everything her creative mind sees into metal. For now she's put down her brush and picked up a hammer and jeweler's saw.

Artistgirl's In The House...

...Making Metal Jewelry and Loving It!

Knitting is Her Bag....

...well, one of them anyway. She knit another iPod bag in between the metal work. Her brain is overflowing with creative ideas...

Twisted...

...in a good way! She's totally into metal lately. Yet she's twisting the night away!

Snow Storm = Studio Time

Lately, the thought of snow makes her happy. Being snowbound means more creative time in the studio. Playing with metal is her latest passion. She cut, hammered and texturized this copper heart and attached a filed a silver wire to make a pin. Let it snow!

Snow Storm Studio Day!

Making rings with silver and crystals! She's having so much fun...

she says let it snow!

Creative Cross Pollination...

After a week of CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) madness in Anaheim you might think she would just veg. It was much work, but lots of fun sharing the Ranger Make-it Take it table with Claudine Hellmuth, Suze Weinberg & Tim Holtz.
She got back to her studio and the what-if monster got into her head. She liked her Make-it Take-it Tim Holtz flower pin (below) but wanted a (another) purse for her iPod.
She covered The Grunge Paper (that was covered with a dictionary page adhered with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-Medium, Matte and die cut with the new Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered Florals die) with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky-Back Canvas. She used the Sticky-Back Canvas to make the purse, and painted it and the flower with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint. She attached a black cord for the shoulder strap. The flower was adhered with Multi-Medium and a rose button she made with polymer clay. Just another fun Sunday in the studio.
