As you guys can see I made it so it can be worn as two separate pieces. I went with only one hand painted little portrait because the woman buying it wanted it that way :(  So, I get to keep the other two, yay me!

I don't know if you can tell from the picture but I mounted the canvas piece to a strip of leather. 

This is how I did it. I bought some soft leather , fabric glue, and  then went to work. 

 This is a picture of the back of the canvas piece after I mounted it to the leather. 

                                                               Here's a  side view,lol

                                                                                     

Floating Fairy House

Awhile back I talked about making floating Fairy Houses, Well  I'm almost finished with one! .

It' a bit of a time consumings process you see. You basically take a balloon and rub it down with Vaseline. Then you start wrapping the Vaseline covered balloon with yarn that was soaked in fabric stiffener, and you can also add glitter like I did.  

                                                        

After you have wrapped the balloon completely you let it dry out for a day or so.

Once dry you can pop the balloon and pull it out and  go to work designing your fairy house. 
This is how mine looks so far.

As you can see in the pictures once mine dried I cut a large hole in the middle added white cotton fluff to make a floor . I added little birds a top and dangled chains and sparkle piece off the bottom. I also wanted to furnish the inside of the house with little people stuff, so I ordered an amazing bed off  Etsy. 
                                                   It arrived a few weeks ago. 

It may not look like it but it's still pretty roomie inside. I'm going to try and make a small table and chair for the house. I was even thinking of adding on to the house with another room . This house is big enough to hold a petite Blythe doll :) Once I make a few more of these houses I'm going to start adding big bay windows and all kinds of stuff. This was my first attempt !

The dress it still being worked on. I showed this paper headband to a few friends,one of 'em laughed and said I have far to much time on my hands.I probably do,lol. But let me tell you guys this was a pain in butt to make. This is just one in many paper headbands I'm going to make. The next one will have a titanic theme;)


I also took some pictures from around my house today. 
                   Here's some of my jewelry supplies.

I know it's a lot! It's not even half of what I own. I have so much more packed away in bags and boxes. I  guess you could say if I have a passion for something I stock up!.And well..I  love making Jewelry<3


I also came into a boatload of coffee.Compliments of a good friend  Wanna see ?!?!,lol

Light as a feather

These last few day I've been busy trying to finish my spring line for my store. Those lovely Swarovski butterflies and pearls arrived last week. I've already used one butterfly and one of the little blue looking gumball pearls in one my new spring necklaces. The concept of the necklace is light as a feather and the theme is springtime butterflies

                                            This one of my lightest necklaces yet! 
This necklace will fit snug around the neck leaving the length of it to drape down one's back. I still have to add one more butterfly to the piece and it will be for sale in my Etsy store by the weekend. 


I'm  also working on little floating fairy houses . I'll show you  how that's working out next time!

                                                       

Flutterby Thursday

 . 

Did you guys know that the old English term for butterfly was buttorfleoge and they called these butterflies milk thieves. Germans also believed that witches could take the form of a butterfly to come and steal their dairy products.
                            Ahhh.. no wonder they are so pretty 

                         

Today I'm a little disappointed =( 
 I went over to the American museum of natural history's website to look at the live butterfly cam and found out it's been taken down.  It got me thinking that this time around when I get my shipment of larves in I should set up a live webcam so everyone can view 'em. I really don't know why I didn't think of it before. Oh well, better late then never. I'm also starting on a line of butterfly inspired necklaces . I picked up the supplies to make 'em two days ago. They should be available in my Etsy store next week. I also want to share some butterfly related items with you guys that I found online.
The first one comes from 

 
   She has a store with the most amazing butterfly handmade items I've seen in a while. 
  The one I'd like to share here are little butterfly wings for you're Blythe doll .

This next one I found on eBay It's an ooak art Blythe doll by AnniedollZ


I also recently came across this store 

She makes handmade hair clips , rings , cuffs ..she does it all . I really love her Flutter Butterfly 
3-D hair clips http://www.etsy.com/listing/79333150/pick-3-butterfly-hair-clips-custom


A few years back I made butterfly hair clips using  swarovski rhinestones. But I must admit I love her 3-D design, a lot!   And for those of you who want butterflies around you're eyes you might like these for you're lashes!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/CatsMeow1940?ref=seller_info                             


My last item is not butterfly related at all but I think you guys should stop over and see this woman's work. She makes whimsical doors that you can put up around your house to attract fairies .
Now who doesn't want that,lol.
