Whimsy Wednesday! Postcards From the Studio...

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Whimsy Wednesday!

This post is a slight interruption of the norm as I've decided to show you whimsical things from the past weekend and ideas still growing!

This is a photo of me at the Spring Psychic Faire this past weekend!  I've my cards and chocolates all ready for the readings!  My spot for the day was in the Sanctuary and so I was surrounded by stained glass, graceful, tall ceilings, and lovely soft lighting!  Beautiful! 

My vision for this booth is the same as my booth at Art Shows.  I want folks to feel as if they are stepping into a Faerie Glen!  I love the star and moon sarong and use that as a table covering over navy blue velvet!  A table that is comfortable both to sit at and touch is a plus in my book!  You'll see greenery and little fairy lights peeking out here and there on my table to complete the vision!

This next idea is in the growing stages!  I procured some gaming dice and have had so much fun thinking of ways to create jewellry with them(preferably still removable and functional)!  One of many experiments I'm involved with, with them, is using filigree to contain them!

Here are the first stages of growth! 

Who knows where this will go from here?!!!

So there you have it!
The conclusion of this Whimsy Wednesday!

Stay tuned to see what grows up by Fini Friday!

Ciao!

Whimsy Wednesday! Ocean and Stars!

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Whimsy Wednesday!
This week has been filled with lots of interesting activities so far and I'm really enjoying it!  I hope the same can be said for you!
I have some watery-goodness to share with you today, so let's get started!
The first creation I have to show you has been languishing for a while... waiting for the proper time to finish it, I suppose!  Most of it was assembled, but I think it was waiting for the final ingredient of whimsy!  Here it is!
Title:  A Mermaid at Play
Ingredients:  Czech glass, Popcap pendant (non-toxic, hand-coloured resin, popcap, Czech glass, aluminum), metal, lead-free pewter. 
I love the mermaid clasp and the Popcap pendant (created by yours truly, of course) and these are really what this creation was built around...but the final touch of whimsy was to hang the side-drilled fish bead so that it looks as if it's about to swim through the "hoop" that the pendant is suspended from!  Isn't that adorable?! 

The second bit of whimsy for today is this bit of ribbon or trim that you see to the left!  I found this while I was out and about at Johnstock this past weekend and just love the cheerful and unusual style of it!  I've never seen anything that combines stars, hearts and snails with the ocean and I love that the stars are smiling!  I'm not yet certain what I'll use this for, but I that is often how these things go!  I'll collect materials for a bit and then they all come together in a beautiful creation!

So I'll leave you now with a little reminder of what I'm up to next week and I'll see you on Friday!
