New and Old....and a Giveaway!

Hello Friends!

Well, I'm excited about a few new things to show you....

 

More upcycled fabric posies :)

 

 

They just make me so happy :)

 

 

....and I love that I'm keeping old shirts out of the landfill!

 

 

Micki sent me some great fabric that I used on this one....see the pretty floral up there :)

 

I also tried my hand at sewing some Victorian Cuff Bracelets....

 

 

They have a button and elastic closure, more of that great fabric, and tea stained lace....

 

 

They can be worn with the lace up...

 

 

...or down.

 

 

I think I'm going to keep these for myself...heehee ;P

Do you think I should make more of these?

I'm picturing them with a Steampunk Costume, but I'm willing to try making more if you think they'd be popular :)

 

....and a new hair clip....

 

 

I call it "Green Ice"

 

 

Now, on to the OLD part of this post.

I've decided to discontinue offering Jewelry in my shop so I've marked it all HALF OFF!

There's a few nice gifts there for under ten bucks.

 

...And now to the GIVEAWAY...

I'd like to offer someone a 50% OFF Coupon Code to use on any ONE in my shop!  Please just leave a comment stating what item you would use it for if you are chosen....and yes, you can double up on the discount for the jewelry if you want to take a chance that it'll still be there :D

 

If you'd like to spead the word using any social media of your choice, that'd be great and earn you another entry for every method.

 

If you'd rather not be in the running, you can tell me that, too....I won't be offended.  I just like to hear from you!

 

I'll pick a winner on Tuesday morning, December 4th.

 

Thanks so much for returning here to catch up with me and my crafty ramblings!

I love you all!

 

My best,

Cam

Christmas in July!

Well, more like Halloween in May!

I've been working on a Halloween trade with Richelle of Rinni's Playground.  We are supposed to sculpt something for the other....my idea, but then things got crazy around here and I was having trouble fitting in some clay time...

I finally managed to make this little Creepsake Box for her :)
This is Midnight.

Made with Paperclay, a styrofoam ball skull and paper mache box.

His eyes are filled with moonbeams in a sea of blue.

Under his box is a quick verse that says,

"The witch flies high

black cat by her side...

Spreading magic into the starry sky."

...and inside...

...the Magic Sprinkler, herself with Midnight in tow.

I hope Rinni likes him :)

In keeping with the whole Christmas in July title, I'm offering a pre-vacation Sale in my humble shop.

Just use coupon code THANKS2U for 20% off everything in the store!

We are getting ready to take our annual camping vacation.  We leave June 4th, so get your favorites now!

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Cameron

Night Owl

I have always been one......
Feeling inspiration in the wee hours......
Being content to dabble in anything, but sleep....

Funny then, that this little guy was painted this morning after dropping my daughter off at school :D

I recycled this canvas from an old work I no longer liked...

So this......

became this....

"He liked the Night"

5 x 5 inches on canvas

in the shop

(*SOLD* Thanks, Diane!)

You can't see it in the photos, but the moon and stars sparkle with fine glitter art paint.

Because thanks to all of you, I am inspired and cheered...

...and not afraid to call myself an Artist any longer!

...and with any luck, I will someday be able to earn a living as one...haha!

Biggest Hugs!

Cameron
