Chromatic Craze #1

Hello Bloggy Friends! I am so excited to announce that I am on a new Design Team! There is a brand spankin' new challenge blog, called Chromatic Craze,and I am thrilled to be a part of it. Started by my good friend Laura, this new challenge blog is going to feature one color challenge per month. It's one of my favorite kinds of challenges! Full details are on the Chromatic Craze Blog. Here is the first challenge's color palette.

I looooooove these colors! Teal and purple are my favorite colors. So I was super happy to see that this was our first set of colors. I decided to make a reversible necklace.

I found some beautiful wood pieces in the clearance section at Michaels, and I have been itching to use them. I also found some amazing yarn from Martha Stewart (also clearance; but at JoAnns). I don't knit or crochet, but I knew I wanted to use it for jewelry.

This is the reverse. I love to make jewelry that can be worn in more than one way. I painted the medallion with acrylic paint, and gave it a glossy finish. I added a teeny star, just for some extra movement. How beautiful is that yarn?

Here's me! I wanted you to see how big the pendant, and how thick the yarn is. Love the size! So....do you want to play along? I'm sure you do! Visit the new Chromatic Craze Blog to see what the rest of the DT has made, plus learn all about the challenge. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelli’s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next “Tarot Card.” Haha! That’s actually pretty funny! If you’ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. I’ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Don’t worry…it’s actually a joyful image…one that I intend to use a lot! First, here’s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks.   The colors look a little off ...

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen...
