Whimsy Wednesday! Gifts and Growing!

Hello Hello!

Welcome to Whimsy Wednesday!

This is also the day before the American holiday of Thanksgiving!

Regardless of nationality, I love the idea of pausing for a day of celebrating plenty, generosity and gratitude!

And so, I'm taking a moment to say Thank-You!

Thank-you to all who read this for being here and sharing this adventure with me! Thank-you for all that you do and all that you are! You are undoubtedly a priceless gift to all you visit with every moment of your life. May this Winter Holiday Season bless you and all you cherish with Love, Joy, Abundance and Freedom!

Onward to the shinies!

Speaking of the Winter Holiday Season...

I've a whimsical bit of gifty-ness to share!

This is a scarf created as a gift...

This is a statue that is going home with the same Loved One as the scarf.  And which absolutely needed to be embellished!

After all, don't all kitties and birds need scarves to help ward off the winter chill? Heeeeeeee!

One more whimsical creation and we'll be off to celebrate!

Title: Grow

Ingredients: Swarovski crystals (Volcano), Czech glass, lead-free pewter(USA), Artistic Wire(USA), silver-plated surgical steel earwires.

  The Swarovski crystals (hand-glued by me!) in the center of each flower are namedVolcano and shift from a beautiful, sunny gold to a vibrant violet with pauses at fiery orange in-between! I included a couple of photographs in the hopes of capturing some of this chameleon colour change! Perhaps you'll have to meet them in person to see the fabulous effect!  Look for these in my Etsy shoppe by Friday!

So!  Have a wonder-full few days and we'll see you on Friday!
Ciao!

Whimsy Wednesday! Whimsy and Abundance!

Hello Hello!

Welcome to Whimsy Wednesday!

I have loot, unexpected and nifty, from this past weekend to share today!

Just before we dive in, a photo of the entire ensemble! 

A quick loot tour!  Those are defunct keyboards flanking the top right and bottom bottom left corners, fun green with white polka-dots beads at the top left and a fabulous variety of new Squinkies at the bottom right!

Now for the close-ups (Mr. DeMille!)...

Those happy green beads in a few different shapes...These were given to me by a fellow artist at the Art Market this weekend, passed on from her Father. I've ideas already as to what to create with them, so stay tuned!!!

Next is the most whimsical of the bunch...new Squinkies!  A brown-haired Fairy, Elf, Prince (Charming, I presume?), A Fairy Kitty and A Fairy...Chimpunk?! Yes! Indeed!  Joy and Whimsy! YAY!

 

This last photo is of a very unusual keyboard that came my way and I am very much looking forward to playing with it!

  It may be hard to see in the photo, but this keyboard actually shimmers from a cotton candy pink to a sparkly white and back again! Isn't that just awesome?!!!! WHEEEE!!!!!! 

So that's the end of our Whimsy Wednesday tour! 

I'll see you on Friday! 

What's this down below? Oh look!!

Whimsy Wednesday! Summer and the Sea!

Hello Hello!

Welcome to Whimsy Wednesday!

I have a bit of a potpourri of nifty things to show you on this beautiful summer day!

These two lovely photos are of summer flowers that bloomed or were given to me over the last few weeks!  I love the vibrant orange of the hibiscus and indian paint brush and the daisies have always held a simple , vibrant beauty for me.  I hope you enjoy them, too!

 The next news is a bit of promotion!  An Etsy Treasury titled Sunny Must Haves featured a Sprite Creation!  You can see it here!

My Gifts From the Ocean creation is the third from the left and top! Isn't that a gorgeous, summery collection?!

I've included a close-up of that featured Faerie Flower Barrette!

Let's continue and conclude our summer and sea-sational theme with a photo of a newly-grown creation!

Title: Mermaid Finery

Ingredients: non-toxic, hand-coloured resin, upcycled brass bracelet. This was created with several layers of hand-coloured resin that I poured myself and I'm so pleased with the multi-dimensional texture and colour of it!
