look at these little beauties!

Aren't they soooo special? I bought them for my grand daughter Talia. When I saw Ujean's painting I KNEW they were Talia to a T!! and how wonderful they are in real life!
Ujean does the most beautiful paintings and she is a warm and very gracious person as well. Treat yourself to a wander through her gallery here

Freeform Peyote Beaded Bracelet

I've been stuck too long in drawing etc and needed a break. So... I thought I would play with my beads again. I have always been fearful of the peyote stitch but this time I persevered and made this (click for a bigger view):


I am not sure if I have finished with the embellishments yet and then all is needed is the loop and button closure. Definitely going to try this in a different colour scheme.

So much fun making these!

I've made quite a few so head on over to my Zazzle site and have a good squizz!
AND I got a Best of the Day award for this design:

I FINALLY got around to putting together a set of printable cards. I've had them ready for ages and just never got my act together to actually put it all together. You can buy this set at my Elementals Store and also my Digitals store
Are you tired of the ubiquitous Hallmark card. mass produced and with inner messages that don't quite fit the occassion?

Well, here's your answer - use these unique hand drawn cards to express your love, gratitude, congratulations or just a simple happy birthday!

The card design comes with a template, so all you do is print the card and the cutting and folding directions are there to guide you in creating a beautiful card.

Some cards are deliberately left without messages on the front and some with messages can be easily deleted. This allows you to place your OWN sentiments on the front and on the inside to suit the occassion.

I truly hope you enjoy using these cards over and over again

For some reason the white gel pens are not working too well. The original idea was to draw over the background (inks and isopropyl) letting the form of the colours determine the the outlines.
