Springy fun....

It is my son's BFF's birthday today and I had to whip something up for a card. I happened upon amazon selling these springy things I think they were called wobbles. Anyways, I started clicking link after link looking at all the wobbly cards and came across this lady's you tube video of a card with her kids heads wobbling on them and I was laughing so hard! Just loved it so I thought that is what I am gonna do! Of course my son is always so very obliging in the crazy face department, I had one on my computer already!

SO, I printed of Lewis' body (erased the head in photoshop) and colored it up. I put the pic of my son in photoshop and adjusted the saturation and added a drybrush filter to make it look a bit sketchy and printed it off, of course nice and big!

 

I used (I think??) 24 gauge wire, wrapped around my glue pen oh say... around 3 times and cut out two circles with a punch. I used the circles to glue the spring onto the back of his head and the face of the card with zots big super heavy duty glue dots. Some embellies, buttons, faux stitching, some cool stickers and ta dahhhhhh! Bobbly head card! 

Lori will love it! HAHAHAH!

xo the fairy!

Make sure you enter my candy draw!!!!

AHHHHHHH!!!!! I just added my very first youtube video! It is so lame! HAHAHAH!

check it out!

I'm still here....

Wow, what a crazy couple of months. I'm sorry for not being around much, no new image in a while but it has been for a reason. Without getting into it too much (top secret ha ha) I have been on a roll in a whole new direction. My artistic roots are calling to me and not that I don't love the digital stamping, I just need more. I have always been that way. Off on a tangent somewhere...but I wouldn't change a thing. Each one of my tangents has brought me to a new and strangely cohesive level. I incorporate everything I learn into everything I do.

I am going to give you a sneek peek into what I have been up to. I have been creating finished artwork with..... my digital images. Yes,  you heard right. I just finished a piece I created for a little girls room.

I used the image LIL' GINA GIRAFFE for this painting. 

No, this is not the full painting. I hope to be able to show it to you soon, in full. I am going to be submitting a few of them for publication into a magazine so I don't want to reveal too much. What I will say is that I intend to do some tutorials (video yeah!) on how to do this yourself.  This finished painting measures 16'x20" so I will be showing you how to transfer them onto the canvas or whatever substrate you are going to work on. I just figured maybe a few of you would like to dabble in a bit more than cards.

Also, I am as I write this, well when I am done I will go back to it... creating some new images for you. If anyone has any requests please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you would like to see for images.

Hope you have a great week!

Another hotbed for me...

I am just getting my stuff together to photograph my candy which I will post today. I just want to share another bit of info with you and ask you to go sign this petition. We have the ability to totally reduce if not completely wipe out our dependence on fossil fuels but all of those technologies have been buried because big oil companies don't want to loose their way of life. We need to speak up and speak out against these companies that are destroying our planet.

And this one is the one I am asking you to sign a petition against. Shell wants to invade the Sacred Headwaters from which the last of the wild salmon rivers flow. They have already built 3 wells, they plan to build 4000 more. Please go and have a look HERE and if you feel that we need to stop this kind of activity then please sign the petition.

THANKS!

Watch for the candy!

Just a couple things

The sun is shining here and the birds are chirping and I got an email.......

Did you know about the bees? I have seen a program lately talking about the decline in the bee populations around the world. This is serious. No bees, no trees. No food. 

There is new evidence to suggest that our cell phones are interfering with their communications or "worker piping" and this is killing the hives.

You have to check this out.

There is also an awesome site here that discusses it further and tells you how you can start your own bee hives. They really aren't that much work.

VANISHING OF THE BEES

ALSO!!!!!!! I am going to be posting some candy soon so keep your eyes peeled.
