PRAYER BOARDS

The above is of a prayer board (small version)...It's an 8x11 canvas board that I did a direct to canvas application...Let it dry then stamped the swirls...Made the coordinating tags....Took Sharpie markers and colored the 3M hangers and put them on the canvas...It can be left this way or if you have a prayer request write it on a tag and place it on the board...When your prayer gets answered just take it down...
This is the large version of the prayer board...Made it for the 4-5th graders for youth group at church...It's a 16x20 canvas that I applied acrylic paint to....I then went over it with a metallic pearl...Made the tags....Used clear 3M hangers..

TEA TIME

I started with an 8x10 canvas...Used some of my Asian material I had found a while back...Covered the canvas and stapled it to the back...The top lady was stamped on cardstock, colored with markers and then I put a gold Stickles design all over the kimono...The second lady was a stencil I have...I used that wonder stuff known as "Spackling Paste" and let it dry overnight...Colored it with markers...Attached it to the fabric with Modge Podge...

WOOD SIGN for CHURCH

I made this for our Pre-K teacher at church....After coming up with what I wanted to do and deciding on the colors I went to buy the wooden letters and discovered that I NOT only can't spell but can't count!...How many letter "s" are there?...3....How many did I get?....2....I REFUSED to have to go back to the store...Now to make it work....Well....IT WORKED...THEN I saw that not only did it say, "Jesus Loves You", it also says, "Jesus Loves Us" and the word "Joy"...Anyway, Miss Nan loved it...

NON-CARD MAKING ITEMS

I made one of these dogs for a friend of mine. She has a beagle (Miss Dixie) who I used as my model for the bottom dog...I used acrylic paint on wood letters then hot glued them together...The top dog (didn't realize that was coming, "top dog", really!) is fashioned after my 2 fur babies - a full Border Collie and a rescue that looks to have Border Collie and Dalmation...

LONG TIME NO POST....

Apparently because I have been in the winter doldrums!...Well I guess it's time to come out!...At least my muse didn't leave as I have been creating...So I'll not waste anymore time and get on with what I've done since December...
