Fini Friday! A Full Heart!

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Fini Friday!
This has been a busy week and I've missed posting nifty things for all of you!
I've much to share with you!
Shiny things first and then the news!

I've been wanting to create felt ornaments for quite some time and this bunch of Winter Holiday celebrations seemed the right time for hand-made (and heart-felt) gifts!
This double-sided heart is my first one!

 Sparkly side first, of course!  All of the felt used is made from recycled fibers!  I'm pleased that this turned out to be such a warm, cheerful, whimsical and humble creation!
I've my eye on creating a moon, star, and perhaps owls or ?
Stay tuned to see what happens next!!!

And now, the news!
I've started working outside of Sprite Creations this week!  
I love the new position, the company, the people and am so grateful to have this opportunity!  What does this mean for Sprite Creations, you ask?
Sprite Creations will continue (of course!) as well as the trend in the past year of only participating in physical shows that are the best match for us!  I am using this outside employment opportunity to keep Sprite Creations the beautiful, whimsical, magical gem that it is.
Please do keep in mind my online store ( Etsy shoppe), and that we're available to throw Sprite Creations parties at homes or offices as well as virtually and using Skype! 
More details are on my website.
Have a fabulous weekend!!!
Ciao!

Whimsy Wednesday! Sheriff's Star and News!

Hello Hello!
Welcome to Whimsy Wednesday!
This post will be more of a highlight reel of what is new in both creations and Sprite Creations event news, so let's get to it!
If you were able to join us at the Holiday Geek Expo, these two creations will be familiar to you!  So many of you are unable to join us in person that I wanted to show them off to YOU!
Title: Cycles of Time
Ingredients: lead-free pewter, suede, leather, aluminum, metal. 
I love the mystery of this bracelet...and the contrast...both of colours, textures and symbols!  The Sheriff's star makes me giggle and I hope you do, too!  The close cuff-style of this leather bracelet in space-age, yet antiqued silver suede evokes the idea of a law-person's bracer from another culture!  Add to that the red leather wheel and unusual key charm and you have an enigma wrapped in sumptuous suede!  There is a story just waiting to be written by this creation!  Are you the one to write it?

And now for the news!
Due to some last minute glitches, Sprite Creations regrets to announce that we are bowing out of the Women's Art Festival this Saturday at the

Midtown YWCA. If you are in the Minneapolis area, we highly encourage you to visit the Festival and support all the fabulously talented artists there!
If you were looking forward to seeing us there, please keep in mind that we are also available for home Sprite Creations shows as well as shows via Skype!
Feel free to visit my website or contact me for more details!  


Last, but certainly not least....
I've ONE more BlogTalk Radio Interview in 2013!
Welcome to Being Human!!! December 22, 2013, 5:00pm to 6:00pm (CST, USA)! 
I'll post the link for this as soon as I have it!
Ciao!

Substitute Saturday! Time, Rainbows and News!

Hello Everyone! 

Welcome to Substitute Saturday...which is Fini Friday a day late! *grin*

Life is busy in new and interesting ways over the past week! 

For instance...We've had a cat whose health has been variable for more than a few weeks now. Last night it took a downturn. 

Rest assured we are doing all that we can for him, yet ultimately the decision is his whether he will stay with us or leave. 

And so it is with all of us, yes? 

Bet you didn't realize there would be philosophy involved in this post, huh?! 

Yup! Sure is! 

All part of "the package"! 

So! 

What do I have lined up for you today? 

Let's start with the Rainbows! 

 These are a few of the things I've found on Walkabout recently! I love the colours, shapes and textures, don't you? 

These are actually cute Fairy-esque skirts, so you may (if you visit with me in person) chance to see them on me! 

I love finding things for myself and others that create a more fun and unique life! 

Whee!! 

And now, about that Time word in the title! 

A new creation that features a Popcap Pendant created with scrapbook stickers, vintage rhinestones and pearls, Czech glass, non-toxic resin and more! 

Working Title: Las Vegas Glamour 

Ingredients: Popcap Pendant (vintage rhinestones and pearls, Czech glass, scrapbook stickers, hand-coloured non-toxic resin, glitter, metal), Swarovski crystals, vintage rhinestones, beads, glass and chain, lead-free pewter, metal. 

The idea behind this creation is the mixture of depth, grit and life that can be found even in midst of the faux (faux jewels, the faux glamour of gambling) and it's allure. 

And perhaps one can find real magic even betwixt and between false or imitative, yes? 

Let's wrap this up with some of that promised News! 

I've a new event and creative home in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area (MN, USA) that I'm excited to share with you! 

Healing Gallery Open House 

Saturday, June 8th 

from 1 to 7pm 

Sunday from 1pm to 5pm 

Details and address are here! 

I'll be there Saturday only, yet I encourage you to stop by whenever you can that weekend! 

It is a beautiful space and the art is absolutely gorgeous! Marian is a very talented artist and healer! 

ALSO!!!! 

*Edited with an update*

I and my Sprite Creations will be available at the Healing Gallery through this weekend only.

My Sprite Services will continue to be offered at locations that best suit each person and situation, and by appointment at BellaLuna Boutique, rather than at the Healing Gallery.

Thank you!
*Now back to the blog as it was*

There is much more to come as my behind-the-scenes 'work' continues, so stay tuned! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

I'll see you next week! 

Ciao!
