Painted Stone Owls - Set 3

Oh man, third set of owl stones.  I'm burnt out on these things!  Probably won't be doing them for a while.

Somehow, all the tiniest of my rocks ended up in this batch.  They make fore very cute little owls.  I also ended up doing some different designs.

Little dark gold owl

Little light gold owl

Domino owl!  This one is my fave.

Some kind of garish pink owl.

Silver and black owl

Peppermint owl.

Purple owl

Painted Stone Owls - Set 2

More Painted Owls!  I made these a little before Spring Break but it's been quite a hectic time for me that I haven't had the chance to take pictures of them.

ARTISTS is doing another art sale/benefit concert and I was asked to make some more of these little guys since they sold so well at the last one.

Some of these guys are repeats from last time, but I liked the patterns... ie snowy owls. 

Others are new designs!  This is definitely my favorite of the batch.

Shadow owl?

Light blue owl.

Apparently I think blue owls should be a thing.

Parrot owl.

Finally my favorite design from last time.  Blue and brown!

Hunger Games Pin

Man, so I've wanted a Mockingjay pin ever since I saw one in a store a while back.  But I really didn't feel like forking over the money to get one since they were kind of pricey and I didn't think I'd actually wear it.  The solution?  Make one.

 

Originally my pin didn't have the ring, since... I couldn't sculpt one.  Right before I took pictures I remembered all the gold key rings I had!  It fit perfectly.  I am now ready for the movie.

Happy Hunger Games!

Christmas Holiday Wreath

I'm home for Christmas and working on my own crafty, but my mom wanted help with her own craft so I lent a hand.

It's pretty rad, made of ornaments and hymnal pages.  I got five sets of hymnals from a thrift store (for a total of a dollar!) and then she pilfered the Christmas songs out of them.  She did all the hard work making the little "cones", I just manned the hot glue gun.

So many songs!  Merry Christmas!

Painted Stone Owls - Set 1

My organization is putting on a little benefit show, and we needed things to sell, so I painted up these little rocks to look like owls. I found a picture of them somewhere, but it wasn't the original source, and I keep being led in circles while looking for it.

All the owls, all together.

This was probably one of my favorite rocks, but I'm quite partial to snowy owls.

I made two with this design because I wanted to keep one for myself.  I chose the littler guy since he was teh first rock I painted.

This guy's pretty cool, because purple is pretty cool.

I don't know what's up with this guy.  I just wanted to use green.

Big blue owl.

Little blue owl

Little gray owl.

This one looks like the pair of brown ones, but he's actually a foxy red.  He gave me a lot of trouble so I finally gave up and defaulted to blue markings since those worked so well.

Framed Earring Display

I have so many dangly earrings—I much prefer them to studs.  However, I ran out of room in my little earring box.  So I went hunting for ideas and found this.

I changed it a bit so that my wires had some slack to them, the earrings have a tendency to slide, but I like the look of it better.  Also, as a side note, I have a few more fish earrings than shown above.  I love my fish.
