For the IYP 12 swap Jeni requested a starry night mini canvas. I had to comply. I decided to wrap the painting around the edges and I love how it turned out. Even better than the first! I'm so in love with mini works of art!

Vera Scarves!
A while ago my family and I went junk shopping. I'm crazy over vintage scarves and when we go to this certain junk store I always end up taking home at least one. On this day I happened upon 2 Vera Neumann scarves! I was just lamenting about how I had the wonderful Vera table cloth, but none of her scarves and then, bam, two in one day! I grabbed them both along with a beautiful Echo brand scarf and one that has no makers name. What a wonderful day. If you'd like to see full pics of each scarf you can go to my flickr.

The bird is Awesome!
Well, I can't share the final outcome of this wonderful project as it is for a swap, but I can share the bird's fate. To be covered in glitter and made sparkly! I love sparkles! I saw this on Craftster and had to try it. I will have to post the rest of the project after my swap stuff is received!

The soon to be bird of awesomeness
So, I have a million wonderful things crafted, that I cannot share because they are all going to new homes for swaps! So I thought I'd post a terrible teaser! This little birdie is being transformed into something so cool it made my hubby say "wow, that's cool!" Trust me that is a high compliment. He usually grunts at my craftiness.

FOC Raffle Goodies
So I blogged sometime ago about the little 3 canvas gnome art I did for the Friends of Craftster raffle swap. Here is what I was drawn to receive! From Spotnik! Two wonderfully crocheted headbands and as an extra a sweet little kokeshi doll! So cute! I would model them, but having strep throat makes a person feel a little not so beautiful. They are so soft and I plan on wearing them very soon!

Poison On Your Lapel
I made this brooch as an extra for a swap. Vintage lace, vintage buttons, feathers, chain, and a small vial. The vial contains oil and food coloring which gives it a really neat lava lamp type look. I sealed the vial with glue first and then a layer of wax to make it look old. So much fun! I hope it is well received as an extra for the swap. It was sent out yesterday! I had to take the pics on the art desk because it was dreary here yesterday, but today we have sunshine!

Happy May Day!
Happy May Day to all! I just thought this picture conjures up thoughts of spring. This little guy was on the fence at my in laws house and I had my camera handy. My dog, Merlin, loves to hunt them when he goes to visit. He check the entire yard and around each tree for the scent! So funny to watch him. I hope to have more crafty goodies to share soon!
