more junk to funk

here is another lovely that blew me away. her skirt is made with all sorts of stuff i can't quite remember, buuuuut, the jacket she is taking off actually turns into a shoulder bag. now who doesn't love versatility? no?

junk to funk 09

seriously people, marcy and i always go to this gig and wonder how these artists can out do the year before. behold.....the above pic was my favorite of the whole show. you are looking at all used coffee filters that have been dip dyed in berries. the corset is also coffee filters,but is a molded shell around her body. the back of the corset is a pink ribbon criss crossing up and down her back

here is a pic of her onstage struttin that dress. i swear, most of the outfits i would actually wear out.
this is the back of the stage. all made with styrofoam, you know, that crap we can't recycle. they spray painted some of it green,and then let the lights do the rest of the work. i have more pics coming. trying to post more often.

first bazaar of the season

my girl marcy took a nice pic of me at my booth at the St. Anthony's Bazaar in Forest Grove. i have all my books out and my kanzashi flower pins. you can't see the tote bags, but they are there. it was a lot of fun, and i always something i look forward to.

stay tuned for Junk to Funk pics, and a few other things.

bubbles is the giver

when i was busy making this little number, it just needed something. you know, that project that needs a little "snap", but you can't put your finger on it. well, bubbles came through when she suggested i take a cutting of blue tulle from her skirt, and use that to embellish the bottom of the pocket. what a giver she is. saving the creative day like that.

anyhoo, i just love this. i am learning how to use fake flowers, and the effect is pretty cool.

as usual, bubbles is all "atwitter" about her suggestion.

more later

books revisited

this little number was a fun one to make. all scrap and scrap ribbon, it can be used to look at fondly, or to write in. i also have a tie in the front that adds to the allure.cute one!!!!!

congratulations to Shannon. she is the first entry to follow my blog. i think a prize is in order.! don't forget everyone, this weekend begins the fall harvest tour in yamhill county. me and my girl marcy will be out there.....
