Here is a crafty thing I did for my first grader's teacher.  Actually, it was for the student teacher who was leaving after her 6 month internship.  I thought I would make a card that looked like a kid made it.  So after a visit to my box of paper scraps, much scissor action, and about a pound of clear tape the result is what you see here.  I tucked the card into a clear party favor bag with some tissue paper, a huge paper clip, and a necklace & earrings mounted on brown card board.

 

I think the presentation was pretty cute! What do you think? 

Enjoying the Journey

This is actually the 2nd riding helmet I have worked on!  

This helmet was customized for Wanda and her beautiful horse Brittanee.  

Wanda showed me photos of Brittanee and the special rope & 'carrot stick' among other identifying details.   Beginning as a plain black surface, the helmet now displays references to the core principals of this horse-rider's heart!

This painting will make it's home at The Aid and Assist Center located at 75th & Lamar in Kansas City, Missouri.

~ The 3 Strand Bracelet ~

My inspiration for this piece is the bright whimsical colors of ornaments on a Christmas tree.  I didn't want to sentence this bracelet to life and death only during the Christmas season so I included colors that could be worn any time of the year.  This is the equivalent to three bracelets in one!  I only have the materials to make a few of these so if you want one you better get it quick!
