Mask for an 18 year old's Party

A friend of mine has a daughter that is turning 18 and she wanted to have a masquerade party so I made her this mask ... the red & silver glitter over black paint is the base for the mask ....

Altered Composition Book

yep another Birdie but no Christmas .... not that I am tired of doing Christmas things just that a group I am in is doing Birdie things for a Dec. lottery drawing and this is what I did for that ..... Grunge board bookplate frame (it's my first time using it and I think it's going to be a keeper), ARTchix Studio birds and K & Co. paper ....

Birdie

well I finally got the old camera recharged so I could take a photo and post it ...... The nest is made out of floral moss the cardinal is the little feather kind from China and the box/birdhouse is a K& Co. box that alphabets came in - recycle, reuse, safe the planet - just a little paint and some scraps of lace and soutache braid rub-ons and scrap of scrapbook paper for background .....

Sweet Wishing Fairies

These little wishing fairies were found near my studio door so I just popped them into a new home and will take care of them for a while ... the bottles are about 2 1/2" high

Sharing again ....

This one reminds me of our daughter ..... she loves her cats

Fairy dust in Beeswax

Life has kind of got in the way of my art but today I had a little time so I did a little beeswax work ... I collaged the background put the little fairy with paper petals for wings and the beeswaxed over it all then I took it to the heat gun and glitter .... heated the beeswax up till it puddled then added fairy dust (aka glitter) reheated it with the heat gun and held it up so it would drip ... I think it made a pretty cool looking ATC ..... what do you think
