OT ..Decorating for the holidays

The holidays lend themselves to gaudy and glitzy and I allow myself to do it
up with big. In the Christmas 2004 folder there are a few photos of things I
created for this year. If something catches your eye please let me know, Ill
be glad to share instructions, and frustrations!

I just love that you shared a little bit of your Christmas with us. It makes
me feel like I visited your home. Everything looks festive and fun. The
peguin is adorable, I like the Victorian feel of the poly-clay covered
baubles and the wreath is just plain gorgeous. You've inspired me to share
some of my Christmas.

Thank you! All that was missing from your virtual tour was the mug of hot
cocoa with the mini marshmallows.
Im looking forward to seeing yours now.

I love your decorations. Those balls with PC flowers and ribbons/ropes are
heirlooms, and the green and gold beads over dark ball is wonderful.

Thanks Cheryl, the little hand is my favorite thing in the tree...
constantly. I think she has taken the ornaments off every branch and moved
them elsewhere at least once. By elsewhere I mean the kitchen cupboard door
handles, the window sill...
The beaded ornament was something I always wanted to try but was to
intimidated to actually do. It turned out (once I got help figuring how to
replace the hex cuts with something I had already) a fairly easy project. I
wont mention how I forgot an entire part of each beginning drape and had to
redo the piece. :-)

Ha! I was down at Target today and they had these cheap plastic ornament
drapes for $1.99. They were the EXACT SAME PATTERN as the ones *I* made
from seed and bugle beads. But mine looked better. Much better.

There will always be people who seek out quality over quantity. Those are
the people who will value our work. The people who dont value the quality
can be educated, and those who cant be can still by the plastic ornaments
from Target. :-)

Need dope? Grow your own - plant a man!

That's also why I don't sell my art. I make it for me and as gifts. That's
it.
