Spring Cleaning...Inside and out!

I spent all afternoon on Sunday re-organizing my craft room, setting up a work space for some new Altered Art projects.

I, being the pack-rat that I am, am having a blast finding old junk stuff, old things I had saved, knowing that I could use them one day! My man thinks I'm crazy! (Seems that men have their own pack-rat issues, such as tools, old wood, nails, buckets of all kinds of stuff! My man will drag home some of the weirdest things and tell me he will use them one day)

I also set this room up for my peaceful space.

It's becoming spring out here in Arizona, which means raking, burning weeds, hauling trash and branches, getting the garden ready to plant, and a new fruit tree orchard.

My flower beds are cleaned up, and I hope the Zinnias will come back this summer, along with some others I tried to get to grow in this desert!

~Altered Art Domino Pendants~

Look at my Pretty domino pendants! I had alot of fun with these!

Some are pictures of women, some are Valentine's, some are Halloween, and there are 2 in the metal pendants that are stained glass looking and will look cool in windows!

I layed some mermaids in shells

with some glitter and pearls, and poured some resin into them...they came out nice! The little shell mermaid went to my daughter in a box today.

I got a full bag of costume jewelry to take apart too! I will probably add some trinkets to these.

Chandelier Glass..."Spirit Lights"

I have been busy today!
I decided I wanted to get some things ready for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. I made some light catchers that I'll call "Spirit Lights". I also made a bracelet with some of them...it came out really pretty!
The skinny white thing with the silver beads and jump ring is a deer bone that is embellished for Mike. He loves these little bones for toothpicks!

Wire Play

This is a wire piece that I made into a pendant. It is meant to hang in the solar plexus area. (My man has brought me all different gauges of copper wire, so of course I am going to play with it!)

The stone in the middle is a piece of honey colored Agate I found while hunting. It turned out really pretty hanging in the middle.

The bottom stone is a polished agate also...looks almost like Amber.

Hopefully, I'll get better at wrapping stones!

Eye Candy and play pretties!

Eye Candy.....

Woo-Hoo! Check all this out! Glass chandelier pieces for making light catchers, bracelets, car hangers... and anything else I can come up with.

All for $2.00 at an estate sale! I thought maybe they were acrylic, but nope, they are glass! Should be some fun!
