Yep back to little red again,lol. All work and images © Avabunny 2012
Okay, I have made a big decision regarding the necklace I'm working on. Because I can't choose which little portrait to go with for the cameo, I have decided to take all the little portraits and cut them out kinda like paper dolls and hang em off the necklace.
I believe they will be sturdy enough to do this because they were all painted on little canvas sheets.
This is my latest one,It's a silhouette of the wolf.
I have to give him a few more teeth up top, but other then that I like him.I made the teeth a little bit thicker then I normally would have because when I cut them out I don't want them to end up being to slender. Tho when I cut em out I will shape them into more of point
I also wanted to show you guys some little charms I will be using in the necklace
When all of these little portraits dry I will flip em over and paint the backs with a mixture of Indigo and Ivory black. . I want them to look as though they were pulled from a burning fire.
I may even burn em a little ..I dunno tho.
On a side note: I was also messing around and drew a butterfly made out of flowers. it's far from done. Yeah I known it's silly*~*
I am so excited that spring has finally arrived.
Over the last few days I have been inspired by spring colors and the lovely nature that surrounds my property. Today while working in my garden I found these walnuts that had the insides eaten out. I'm guessing by a squirrel. The inside of the empty shell is something you just have to see for yourself.
Bet you never thought would find that inside. I don't know if you can tell but it's in the perfect shape of a heart. Prior to today, I've also come across lots of little mushrooms in my garden and leaves with crazy lace patterns. All of this incredible natural beauty has inspired me to make a spring time headband for Blythe dolls. I've wanted to make something for Blythe dolls since forever !!
Well today.. I finally got started on making a headband ! I started with this lovely earthy brown colored leather
Added two rows of ivy leaves
Then took one row of ivy away and added two mushrooms
And one pretty little doe
I'm not done yet. This is just what I have for now. More then likely I will change it around like a hundred more times before I get what I'm looking for . So far I think it pretty cute:)
This morning I logged into my Facebook account for the first time in a week .
I was just appalled by what I saw. Sometime between this morning and a week ago Facebook allowed ads to... TAKE OVER!! So now, my Ava's Elements facebook page that I created to promote''my business!'' Now looks like freakin' Time square. I'm serious!!, these ads are all over my Facebook page, reminding me of the billboards in Time sq. It's irritating because I don't want them there,but there's no flipping way to remove them..ugh.
Anyway, on the brightside, I got a confirmation email from Spring Hill nursery this morning letting me know my plants are being shipped out this week...yay!!
I also got an email from this lovely woman molly pepper over at Etsy, she has a store there where she sells vintage items. http://www.etsy.com/shop/YogaBeeVintage?ref=pr_shop_more
Well, truth be know, I just love vintage toys,especially circus related ones .
So when I saw she was selling a vintage fisher price circus set for thirty five bucks, I bought it.
I'm posting two pictures so you can see how cool it looks
So anyway , She sent me an email letting me know she has shipped the circus set out !!!!
My little Blythe doll Emily is very excited by the news!
She has been asking me for some new toys for a while now,lol.
By the way,I took some better pictures of my carousel necklace. Remember The one I posted a picture of yesterday that had a bent looking charm ? yeah well, I took new ones' ..
Here's the first one
You can really see the colors much better now right?
The picture from yesterday didn't show the colors at all!!
here's a few more pictures
I just wanted you guys to see a few ''good'' pictures of this necklace because I had worked really hard on it when I was making it. I choose bright spring colors. I had really loved how the big bow in the back turned out . I had bought some bright spring green ribbon and hand stitched it to the sliver linked chain. This necklace still looks great after so many years *pats self on the back* ..lol
I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures of the grounds outside the house as I had hoped. It was pretty chilly out today. I think tomorrow will be better for me to wonder the grounds. I did however get a cute picture of a cat that was wondering around watching me.
It was a fluffy pretty kitty .....purrrrr ..lol..more burrrr 'cause it was so cold out !!
Well, I'm gonna go for now guy, I leave you with visions of green ribbon and fluffy cats,lol
