With No Particular Reason...

I really enjoy making a gift for someone special for no particular reason other than she is a nice person.

This morning I presented Kylie with "Autumn Twig" (my son came up with the name).  Kylie was delighted with her as am I.

Assorted twigs found on my morning walks

as well as angel wings made on my Cricut cutting machine

Head created using PaperClay

It was necessary to place the figure into a small bottle to dry after painting her head.

I particularly love the large acorn cap as her beret!

ApoxySculp was used to adhere all the twigs, wings, etc. together

Brush Cut II continued

This little girl is finished.  I'm very happy with the way she turned out.  I hope Laura feels the same way.

The colors in Laura's salon are basically gray and white, thus the colors I chose for her gift.

Voila!

First layer of paint

Arms made out of charms and beads

More paint, button boobies, spray gloss sealer

gift giving

It's that time of year again.  There's always someone on my list that is hard (impossible!) to buy for.  I like the challenge of making something instead.

Using simple materials (oatmeal box, masking tape, plaster tape, wood bead, head of industrial bobbin), I created a lovely box to hold a number of my personally designed note cards with envelopes.
