Got boxes

Sometimes you have to put down the wool and make someting different. So here is my first little beaded triangle box. It measures 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches.
Box is made from delica beads using the peyote and tubular peyote stitch and fireling 6lb test fishing line. It has 8 mm round beads for feet and a 10mm bead finial on the lid.

Well it's about time I got someting finished. Here is a sweet whippet boy in play bow. Yes, this is one of my favorite poses to make. I also felted him a mat and beaded him a collar. He's off to his new home in Illinois later this week.

Oh goodness

Another week gone by and I realize I haven't posted anything. That's because everything is in various stages of completion. And, I've been trying to get some "wet felting" done. I need to practice my wet felting techniques to start on my Patricia Spark's Watercolor Felt Workbook. Patricia's book is all about doing pictorial felts using wet and dry felting methods.

I'm still here

Have taken the week off to put a roof on my friends house. OMG this old body aint what it used to be, and I'm only fiddy tooooo. Never do any job that requires your arse to be higher then your head!!
