Painted Snowpeople

Made out of gourds, paper clay and paint, these little snow people are.

Snowman Season

These little guys are ready to be painted. One of my favorite things to do...add paperclay to gourds (these I grew years ago) and then paint them. Tis the season for snowwomen and snowmen!

Where did the squirrel go?

This is a paper mache' head that I made a while ago. 

It fell off the wall when a crazy squirrel got into the house, ran up and around the walls and at one point landed on this horse head that was hanging on the wall. 

The head fell to the floor and needs a bit of repair. It is covered in the words from the book, Black Beauty, which fortunately has a lot of words, so I have more pages to cover it with,.  

The squirrel?

We never saw him again. 

I don't really know that the squirrel was crazy, but he shouldn't have been in my house.

Adding more to the pages and looking for just the right leaf to jazz up the cover. 

Dried Flowers and Leaves in Resin

One of my sons hand-makes wooden paddles and covers them with resin. 

Here's a link to a pic with one of his paddles in his Instagram account--- https://www.instagram.com/p/B2h7fF7AmY3/ . 

When he does a resin pour, he often saves just a bit of resin, for me to use in the blank bezels, that I've purchased for making jewelry. 

This summer I started drying small leaves and flowers to preserve in resin necklaces, which is why there are so many books filled with Queen-Anne's-Lace or ferns in my house.

Natural Leaf Dyed Covers

I made some notebooks from cloth and paper . 

Geranium and eucalyptus and sumac and rose and catalpa leaves are all here. 

Most all of the pages are blank, but I did add a print here and there.

Freshly Dyed
