I LOVE this lady's work! I'd love to get some peacock feather save the date magnets for my friends and family, so that's why I'm posting this here, to get another entry :) Please enter if you've also got a wedding in the future or know someone who does!

Baby bear...

I picked up this guy at Savers for a buck or two...It's a 3 picture holder, has the tall metal pieces with the double circles at the top to hold the pictures. It had a pink ribbon. Well that just wont work since my godchilds bedroom is painted orange and we won't know the sex until he or she is born....Sooooo...I repainted it!

You can still see the pink because of the flash, but you can't see it without the bright light, I was pretty happy with how he turned out :)

I love my Kumihimo braiding...it's so relaxing. Kind of like mini-knitting looming :)
I added a vintage mother-of-pearl button so the bracelet would be secure.

Yes, I'm a dork. That's a baby hat I just made. I'll have to time it one of these days start to finish, but I doubt it takes much more than an hour :)

Artsy fartsy photos for the day

silence

2011-02-02T10:26:00.000-08:00

I've been ooohhh so quiet, I know. So sorry. Lets see. I got engaged, photos on my farm blog. :) I haven't been crafting much lately, my wheel just isnt working for me, so no hand spun yarn, though I'm looking at a double treadle Babe that I might pick up to work with. Lots of roving sitting there staring at me. Might try wet felting again one of these days. I also have to start making decorations for the wedding! I will post as soon as I get them started, which will be as soon as I get some more peacock feathers :) Until then, adieu!

Heubert and Hannah....

2010-09-26T20:07:00.000-07:00

She kinda looks like a mushroom from Mario Bros.....
Pre-eyelashes
Post eyelashes... :) Heubert is just taken aback by her beauty.
In their sitting place...

And Adam's hat I made for him. I'm going to attempt to make Anisa a bed tonight. :)

Ahhh boredom...

2010-09-26T00:53:00.001-07:00

Home sick from work, I've been feeling under the weather for about two weeks now. And so I started playing with fiber....

And Heubert was born!

I think Heubert is appalled by my rush in putting him together. He took about an hour. He'll still probably get some finishing touches, but I like him :)

Okay, yes, I've been VERY slacking...

2010-01-31T20:24:00.001-08:00

But I'm working on things! I just started crocheting tonight. The book has stupid pictures, so I went on youtube and finally found one that I can kind of understand. Still probably need to go to my grandmothers and have her teach me to get the real feel for it I'm sure. Plus my yarn isn't behaving, it's caught in the center pull somehow, so I really have to wrench it out. Here's what I've got so far!

More to come...I'm also working on a needle felting project too! Shhh top secret!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009-11-26T14:41:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours...And happy shopping in less than 12 hours! :)

TWLOHA Day

2009-11-13T11:36:00.000-08:00

Happy Friday the 13th, and TWLOHA Day...To Write Love On Her Arms...Depression Awareness!
Emily has an excellent post on her blog here .

TRIUMPHANT!

2009-11-10T05:51:00.000-08:00

Da da da daaaa! I win! lol. I got it all casted off by myself...BOTH SIDES! I rock. SOOOO ready for this...so ready. Smudge was "helping" as you can see...But who can get mad at a face like that?! It's not really anything...just a practice run with some yard I had already been playing with so it was a little pulled apart. I'm very excited to start playing with some other stuff :)

Playing with colors....

2009-11-09T10:53:00.000-08:00

I did some of these today, some a few months ago...but I love the effects!

necklace...

Necklace & sunglasses...And eyes...it's a subtle difference, but biggified it's worth it.

I only did her one eye because the other was darker and it looked funny. I like how it turned out though.

LOVED these Lorikeets! Such vibrant colors!
This waterlily isn't finished obviously, but you get the point :)

Ended in disaster!

2009-11-09T10:51:00.000-08:00

lol oh well. Like an idiot, I pulled out the leader yarn without doing anything with that end...lol. Tard! Oh well, I know have a handle on it, I think I can do that stitch now...on to another! lol.

Practice....

2009-11-09T08:56:00.000-08:00

What is it? I dont' know yet...maybe a bag strap? But mostly it's PRACTICE! I haven't used the long looms before, only the circular ones...and let me tell you...it's a bit challenging at first! lol. This is what I believe is the "circular" stitch, but I'm not sure on that one, you can never accept youtube as absolute fact. But the wonderful thing about knitting? If you don't like it, you can disassemble it in one swift pull!

My first needle feltie!

2009-10-09T03:05:00.001-07:00

Woooo! I've been really sick as of late, for about 3 weeks off and on, and REALLY sick this week. On the clay board on Yahoo groups, this months challenge is something Halloweenie...so I'll likely be attempting that this month, plus I plan on keeping going with the needle felting...I think I'm in love! Sorry about the crappy lighting...our house lighting sucks! I think the stem is a little big, but it looks good flopped to the side a little. I LOVE it...wish you could see a little more detail on the leaf...I really like how it turned out. I really need better lighting...

And btw, I'm a bad person...I finished Adams' dragon before getting photos of it! But here are SOME photos before he left.

Playing with Sculpey!

2009-08-16T21:20:00.000-07:00

Firstly, I wanted another set of horns. Don't know if these will be too heavy or not, but we'll find out I guess. Going to use a piece of yarn or string to get these puppies on.

Then, started on Adams birthday present...a baby dragon! Denny said he looked like a frog...so I added spikes (3rd pic)

Now he needs to get into the oven...don't know how well he'll bake cuz he's pretty thick, but we'll see I guess lol. Still don't know how I"m going to pain his wings....hmmm....

TYE DYE!

2009-07-27T04:50:00.001-07:00

omg...they make tye dye duct tape now! I made a pretty sweet rose last night...I'll try to post pictures later today.

Check this out!

A contest for a Kindle! :) Mention my name, and we'll both get entries! And then on July 1st, go pick up a copy of Rachel Vincent's "Prey"! I can't wait for the book! :)

My newest project!

2009-06-08T04:47:00.000-07:00

Pen roses! They're super cool...I love them. Anyone have any idea what I should charge for them? Of course would do custom color schemes, whatever people wanted (that they have available for colors). Can use blue, red or black ink, buyers choice. And can make them two different ways!

Capless for putting in a flower pot of rocks on your desk...or...
With the flower as a cap you can pull off!

Please, let me know what you guys think :) And spread the word! I'm not going to get rich doing this, but every little bit will help towards my truck fund!

Faith, trust & pixie dust!

Knifty Knitter!

2009-02-10T19:25:00.000-08:00

Well, it's actually a lot of fun. Can't wait til I actually learn how to REALLY knit, but this will do for now. I'll post pictures later. I did screw up though, forgot to loop a loop, and now the top is stuck to the bottom...not sure yet how I'll remedy that, but I'll figure it out :) I'll post pictures maybe tomorrow :) My neck is super stiff from being adjusted at the chiropractor, but gotta make time for crafts in the morning! :)

My photography

2009-02-09T04:58:00.000-08:00

A couple of these were taken with a 1.2 MP camera...but most w/ my 6.1 MP. This year I upgraded to a 10.1 MP w/ 12x optical zoom, so should have a lot of fun :) Enjoy!

Small steps...

2009-02-06T19:40:00.000-08:00

So I bought a Knifty Knitter! Soooo excited to use it. Unfortunately I have been feeling under the weather and have been sleeping A LOT, but will begin to use it soon. Also restocking some paints to paint clay pots since spring is approaching and I'll have plants to sell! :) Hopefully will have some photos of progress by next week. Also cleaning out the spare room to incorporate a table for me to work at I'm thinking...woot woot!

Welcome to the artsy side of Rayna...

2009-02-02T05:18:00.000-08:00

A few things lately have inspired me to create my artsy/creative blog. I love photography, I love painting and playing with different medias, and so want to get back into that all. It's deffinately a stress reliever, and what a way to show it off! I'm painting some things for my mother for her birthday, and that was part of the inspiration, and the other was the One World, One Heart blog contests! I'm going to create some things fast to give away, because I love giveaways, and for someone to own a piece of my art, and WANT to own a piece of my art, makes me happy :) I also plan on dabbling in knitting, spinning and all that such with the sheep, so it all works out! Within the next day or so I hope to have some things picked out and posted on the OWOH site! Happy crafting!
