Some New Stuff

Well, it is finally cooling down some. Yesterday morning was 44 degrees here! That's like blizzard weather to us wimpy Arizona folks. Today's high is supposed to be in the 80s, but Sunday is only going to be in the mid 70s... It was about STINKIN' time for it to cool down!!! Geez! :)

Here are a few things I made recently for some swaps:







This is my favorite! Boba Fett!



Yeah, I have to admit, I have a huge crush on Boba Fett. He is just HOT lol. I found this wonderful bobble head on ebay, and I just had to get it.



This guy was an orphan at the thrift store. I gave him a new home :) My son says I am obsessed with nutcrackers.



There's only 48 days left until Christmas!!! Yay!

Alcohol Inks are COOL

I had seen some projects made with Adirondack Alcohol Inks and I wanted to give them a try. WOW! They are super cool! They blend really well together and dry super fast. I painted some glass ornaments and a vase with them:






I was also working on one of those glass block lights for a while, you know the ones that people drill a hole in and put little lights in, kinda like this, but I could not pick a graphic I liked. I ended up painting it with the alcohol inks and decorating it with some dominoes I painted and stamped. The glass stones are from the floral dept at Michael's. I think I like mine better :)


Ok, well I went crazy with these inks. I admit it. I took a couple of plain boxes I had purchased for $1.00 and painted them with acrylic paint, then dabbed on the alcohol inks. I think they turned out pretty snazzy.
