Neglectful Nancy...

I've been a Neglectful Nancy... but I'm back with little lovelies to show you!

Ante Up

Paper clippings, netting, and game pieces on Bristol.
Maybe I shouldn't have put the best one first, as the rest won't quite live up to her.  But come on, with a Sailor Jerry girl, how could I resist?

Coulrophobia

 

Soft pastels, paper clippings and buttons on Bristol.

I don't fear clowns but if I did I'm sure the one on the Jo Jo label would make me pee myself if I saw it in real life.  That is a pretty scary looking clown.  Coincidentally, I just watched a Gacy documentary and want to see more of his crappy clown paintings...

Ballerina in Space

Soft pastels, paper clippings, gemstones, eyelash yarn and Sparkle Mod Podge on Bristol.
I used a few scraps of the marbleized paper we made a while back for the round shapes.

Pansy

 

Paper clippings, fiber paper, and button on Bristol.

Dressed to Kill

Barbie dress, netting, decorative paper and metallic embroidery floss on Bristol.
I think this one might need a little something more, not sure yet...

Red Carpet

 

Watercolors, acrylic, paper clippings, cotton, and Sparkle Mod Podge on Bristol.

I had a lot of fun making her "fur"  for this one!

Thanks for looking!  

Remember- questions, comments, and rude remarks are always welcome around here.

Holiday Crafting Round-Up.

These are some smalls gifts that I made for friends at Christmas time.

Embroidery and colored pencil on moleskin notebook.  I used the Tara McPherson pattern (Artist Series #10) from Sublime Stitching.

 

Embroidered fabric and bristol paint chip on moleskin notebook.  I used the Handmade Nation pattern from Sublime Stitching.

Next up are some ATCs that I made on New Year's Eve.  As we were taking a friend to the airport shuttle at 2:30 AM, there was no wild and crazy party for us.  I know, I lead an exciting life.

The last card of 2009- Random

 Watercolors and embroidery floss on Bristol.  Sam aka Sunnysidey was my inspiration for this one.  Everything she makes looks so bright and fun!

1st card of 2010- Banana Pancakes

 Paper clippings, beads and embroidery floss on Bristol.  The stack of banana pancakes is the piece of junk mail, so this card officially carries the Coupon Series over on into 2010.  I'm having a lot of fun with these.  Remember- waste not, want not.  Although that was my motto for 2009, I think I'm going to stick by it for this next year.  It's a good one.

If you don't understand this card, maybe this will help :)

2nd card of 2010- Fetch

Paper clippings and thread on Bristol.

This is also part of the Coupon Series as the picture of the dog came from junk mail.  I made the little newspaper from a few scraps from a local newspaper.

I love the headline.

It's soooo true.  Santa Rosa is home to glorious beers.  My favorite being Pliny the Elder, at the Russian River Brewing Co.

Thanks for looking.  Have a craftastic day!

p.s.  Have you entered the giveaways?!  There's two, sign up for both!

Another batch.

Sweetie

Watercolors, embroidery floss, glitter, bead, and vellum rubbing on Bristol.  I used a Sublime Stitching pattern for this one.  This was a special request from Jodie.  I love how this one turned out, nice and simple.  The photo is a bit dark...

Gold

Paper clippings, metallic embroidery floss, and beads on Bristol.

 Go Green

Newspaper clipping, ink and 3-D embellishments on Bristol.  I love how the little tool is removable from the fabric apron!  (I'll be honest.  I had the Captain Planet theme song in my head the whole time I was making this, lol.)  Seriously though...Go Green!

Thanks for looking.
