Here are some more jewelry designs
















Favorite Jewelry and Baubles















So about a year ago - as a diversion to moving to Reno...my girls and I decided to make some "sparkly stuff" using some old, costume jewelry from Grandma Val's wonderful trunk collection...We wanted to honor her, as well as dedicate our craftsmanship to our beloved Grandma/Mom who passed away in November 2006.
We thought our designs were spectacular so we called this collection, "Under Grandma's Rainbow Designs" . Needless to say, we are learning the craft fair circuit and also trying to sell anything in this economically-challenged market right now. One thing we have learned from our fair experience is that People love history, stories, and unique-quality art at a GREAT price. So I think we are finding our place in the art world.
So here is a sampling of our collection - I hope you enjoy seeing some of our new and reinvented designs - all done by angels of the night...i.e... Myself and loving grandkids!!!

Artistic Frenzy - November 11, 2009




So, people are always asking what I do all day while the kids are in school. Did I spend the day cleaning, finishing the laundry, marketing, making dinner, taking kids to their sporting classes, etc.






Well...I have to say...once I get all those chores done then ...I CREATE!!!!



There is always time (or not) for the above tasks...but when the artistic spirit is calling...I have to abide...:)



Here are a few of my recent soulful creations...materials I use are acrylic paint, watercolor, metal, and digitally altered photography. I also have been designing jewelry which I will put in another post later.



Tell me what you think??? Am I crazy???? Probably!!!!
