Fini Friday! Flowers, Faerie Dust and Dragons, Oh My!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to Fini Friday!

I hope you have some fun things lined up for your weekend!

Let's start this blog post out with something fairly mellow!

These earrings have been languishing for some time as they require a degree of wire-wrapping skill and confidence that I lost (mostly the confidence) part-way through their creation!

Title: Twining

Ingredients: Glass, Artistic wire, Niobium (hypo-allergenic) earwires

Much of the wire-work I do is free-form and so it is with these! They are of my own design and designed-in-the-moment. Sometimes when I'm in the midst of that and the results are not what I'd like, I become discouraged and hide the creation away for a while...I used to do this much more often. I'm much more fearless now and am continuing working towards that end of the spectrum!

Next up are more Faerie Dust Bottles!

These are popular at shows and I love playing with glitter, so it is a win-win for everyone!  The bottle on the right shows a more dreamy mix, the center bottle is so very Pink! and the mix on the left is very warm and rich...perhaps reminiscent of something like stumbling upon a Faerie coffee shop in the Woods?

 

This last photo is of two delightful little dragons hand-sculptured by Nikita of Dragonrose Designs!  I'm proud to call her friend and fellow artist and she is letting me play with these handsome fellows!  I can't wait to see what they grow into!!!

  

So that's it for this Fini Friday post!

 Below is where to find me next week!!!!

Magical Monday! Fantastic Realms!

Hello Everyone!
It is a little grey here in my neck of the woods, so I have a beautiful, magical, richly colourful realm and artwork creations of it to show you today! I have long loved the colours, creatures and creativity of this artist and even have a few of his works in my home! His name is Randal Spangler and his website is here!
As with Sprite Creations, there are stories surrounding each piece of artwork, so feel free to take a stroll through his website and travel along with words!

Here are the beauties I wanted to show you today!
Afternoon Tea

Don't you just love the little dragon? He is called a "Dragling" (this is a trademarked name by Mr. Spangler)! I love the little jewels on the sugar pot and the gorgeous colours and the tea cup and... well... I just love it.. which is probably why I own a copy of it! *grin*

The second lovely is titled Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate!

I own a copy of this as well and it is destined to hang in or near our kitchen... for obvious reasons! Doesn't all of that look yummy?!

I hope you've enjoyed this brief journey into a world I find delightful!
Have a wonderful Monday and I'll see you on Wednesday!
Ciao!

I am amused!

I just finished a pair of dragon earrings that are comprised of hand-made Blue Dragons and their treasure orbs suspended from blackened metal... Do you think Someone has been defending their treasure recently?

Pictures as I can!
