some new things

I have accomplished a few crafty things in the last few weeks,
just haven't had much chance to post cuz Honey has recently
found a "Snow Machine Forum".
Alot of chatting about and photos of snow machine
 (or in most parts of the country - snowmobile) adventures.
So he has been spending a bit more time on the computer
than he used to, which means I spend less☺
The good part - more crafty accomplishments.
The bad part - less show and tell.
I was really getting in a funk about winter and I was crocheting
 neckwarmers and wristwarmers like mad,
so I decided maybe I should stop the winter wear for a while
and think summer.
I found this pattern for a summer "Straw Hat" and knew it would
 be perfect for my sister.  She loved it so much she sent me a picture☺
Isn't she cute?  I want her hair.
I also found a pattern for a bag that looked cool
First let me say, I didn't think it would be so hard to take a picture of a bag.


This was my experiment so I followed the pattern exactly except I didn't
add a zipper. I love the body and the flap (except my next one will not be as wide)
but I don't know how I feel about the handle. I think I will do something different
next time with the handle.

And I have been practicing with resin, not the fancy UV resin that
a lot of people are working with now, just the regular epoxy resin
like you get at the hardware store.
It's kinda fun and I definately like the way it looks on polymer.

Some pendants waiting for bails
(Can you guess how I did the pictures on the pendants?)


And a couple of finished pieces.

I made the hearts to mimic the ceramic beads.
With the resin, I think it works.

Have a great weekend!

  2. Hi Debbie
    The pendants were so fun to make, the pics are actually temporary tattoos ☺

  3. Pat, that hat is too adorable~ and so is your sis. LOVE the bag. There is something special about having a purse that you know noone else will ever have.

    Cool idea to use the temp tats for pendants~ they're fab!
