Being in a pinch and not getting out and about much lately, I didn't have any gel medium or caulking around, so I tried Modge Podge... it worked, but you have to be extremely careful not to rub the modge podge off - or you will rub your image all of the way off. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>You also need to be aware that if you rub with your fingers and it is a large area, you will get friction blisters or just rub the skin off of your finger - I found this out the hard way. Ouch.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>But it was worth it:</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310523164352914610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 310px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifmTYnrtuxD8wbP9hu0cDpRo3lqmmywhMC6Pa524myyOC9FMO37uJ9rsWwJS8q9rulDg4XZoCd0SOho7il1QqpqiUnj2JCA4iG8HC0yU-UdM80JhYFIIkPaD0TXT5FTaZW4iJwJD_W8A95/s320/DSC08990.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><p> </p><p>It's a wooden box shaped like a book, about 13" x 13".

I have had a sick baby and school is KILLING me. BUT I did manage to accomplish a couple thing I have been meaning to. First is a box for a friend of mine. She has a collection of Imp's Ears (sample vials) from the <a href="http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/welcome.html">Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab</a>, so I made her this box to keep them in (instead of shoving them in a drawer). I made an insert with holes to fit the vials so they stand upright to eliminate the chance of them leaking.<br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303265240754777602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcs0oHKyGOLzJvTC6J8oGo5Nx_zBISiIKzz7rQs_Tzp0jBgIm2PJFQ9-f0-JpKaA9c9bAJFy7kg87mvPzmPZ_u6Li04DtDfQttehvHrQo5g39vbvXPLtyN2KAhw0iqLoJ7K6RYR21aSqf/s320/DSC08782.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCY-B66f97ecxE156OB0MMw1no_u2HTW4GSzpaIHIoeWKXo-73Ex2kehzwhM0C3teQso9muZ0fYXUiSfgBWECn2MEO9fMlQpdWPrwtciWoC7O0Y-uNyOUevpNNIb77qIyxmgtTl15MCSxC/s1600-h/DSC08784.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303265970461199618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCY-B66f97ecxE156OB0MMw1no_u2HTW4GSzpaIHIoeWKXo-73Ex2kehzwhM0C3teQso9muZ0fYXUiSfgBWECn2MEO9fMlQpdWPrwtciWoC7O0Y-uNyOUevpNNIb77qIyxmgtTl15MCSxC/s320/DSC08784.JPG" border="0" /></a> I also completed a trinket box of my own. I have had the box aged (which I do byhand, no commercial staining) with the ephemera tucked away inside for some time.

The fabric is all repurposed, either from manufactured items that I had cut up already or from stuff that I had made but didn't like. The beads I used were all from old broken jewelry that I have hoarded like there was going to be a shortage.The only thing new on these was the thread I used to sew the beads on.<br /><br />I then became aware that I have <strong>20 or so </strong>fabric flowers and NOTHING to do with them. So, I started dreaming up ways to use them... here's what I came up with:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmMUtE-29k0dyuAdvlWEsst7fJcHlxwMNKve3b2Ka8F3FjwAng98ib-I-2WA1UgNkRfMgyksCXQ56A5HmdeIaq6law3aMrrjJnh93A_Snqp573HxXwG1Y6vItz6AiO2xttH26EwGSAur6/s1600-h/DSC08439.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291580931545469250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 237px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmMUtE-29k0dyuAdvlWEsst7fJcHlxwMNKve3b2Ka8F3FjwAng98ib-I-2WA1UgNkRfMgyksCXQ56A5HmdeIaq6law3aMrrjJnh93A_Snqp573HxXwG1Y6vItz6AiO2xttH26EwGSAur6/s320/DSC08439.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjob69cmaSOYEOjlnA24gKH1PfrQ5dakyQQWVM8r-wdREIdmH0BvdBU-xvxMJsNEysRrJ3YCN1WmjCV-pXDnSGA_qz6_vCe0Pe5HxtIe2vhaFkgC924yMTcZpFfCqKIcvnqiC4gsuNCbt/s1600-h/DSC08422.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291580445848571458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 276px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjob69cmaSOYEOjlnA24gKH1PfrQ5dakyQQWVM8r-wdREIdmH0BvdBU-xvxMJsNEysRrJ3YCN1WmjCV-pXDnSGA_qz6_vCe0Pe5HxtIe2vhaFkgC924yMTcZpFfCqKIcvnqiC4gsuNCbt/s320/DSC08422.JPG" border="0" /></a> These ar just the blue ones...

I don't normally make resolutions on New Years, but as for my creative side, I do have a few goals to reach for. So, here goes:<br />1. I will make something everyday.<br />2. I will not procrastinate. Posting listings in my Etsy shop and posts on my blog will be like eating breakfast.<br />3. I will donate at least 52 items this year to non-profit orginizations. (I already have a head start on this. In Feb. I will be donating 10 Pixie Clutches already gift-wrapped to Operation Showers of Appreciation. Check it out here: <a href="http://www.operationshowersofappreciation.com/Programs.html">http://www.operationshowersofappreciation.com/Programs.html</a>)<br />These are just my goals for the seeling of the stuff I make... my personal list is much longer!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I made my "first" sale on Etsy! Yay! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSs9yI4ngxEuhi3shNux3IWR3ruwWUThRVQoqbs1Mj3zrR8E7LjghbPAcrTcl9jToh9acPU_yn6JG8wvEJznTcsb8pGJPp1BISl3q9ez69GF_GxmGaWBB5Qfs0yxZri2n98GWpjIlj7RNa/s1600-h/DSC08385.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290606921701357730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSs9yI4ngxEuhi3shNux3IWR3ruwWUThRVQoqbs1Mj3zrR8E7LjghbPAcrTcl9jToh9acPU_yn6JG8wvEJznTcsb8pGJPp1BISl3q9ez69GF_GxmGaWBB5Qfs0yxZri2n98GWpjIlj7RNa/s320/DSC08385.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I use quotes because I used to have a shop a LOOOONG time ago, but it fizzled because I was wrapped up in my son being a baby and I got behind on things.<br />But Yay! I am so happy. I loved trying out new wrapping and getting that first rush!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I am working on some jewelry right now. Collaged acrylic charm necklaces. They are quite pretty, if I do say so myself! I used quotes and words printed on walnut ink stained paper, antique music pages and text, and reproduction vintage photos. They were all applied to a clear acrylic shape and then varnished SERVERAL times on the back to make it water resistant.<br /><p> </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290610825504337378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKrXsA9s1HQyz5FDfaFBNoPakx_dU_rQkGTLyi44b2uycOVi2EqRu5ok8i2J8BgzHDtTKGGGnZVTt3NEHi6b4LpCNi55AtpGr61TMy_nr6Hx7dJdhI0_STI938e5mjMEcIfKhyphenhyphenZ2Am_4ic/s400/DSC08387.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>The bottom charm was inspired by the <em>Twilight </em>books by Stephenie Meyer. I was sucked into the series just like most other people I know! This charm was the first one I did when I was trying to figure out what worked and what didn't.</p><p>The "SOUL" charm did not make it to be a sellable necklace. The edge of it broke when I was trying to put the jumpring in... oops!</p><p>Below is the back of the "LIVE" charm. I really like this quote!</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290611209447319954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 241px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTsRORNKNK4FraeWLRHMqI0bNBrvjd0L_XjFvY-2xJYtaaJNH0rh8SNLBNRlc4r0ZjGmJV5Gk7uy4UNDtI2Gvzx4hnRFW-dFNE2eUjRVCRhEwnFPMOB1UmlmGyFxoEBgpsr5-u4WG_uHb2/s320/DSC08391.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>Here is the back of the "SOUL" charm and the "A kiss", and "LIVE" charms along with their necklaces. All of them are asymetrical necklaces... I think it adds to the charm and ensures that they will be one of a kind - even I can't <em>exactly</em> reproduce these!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290612270094390674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIno9l0F69u4tOQ1Tm6onxvJ-nAQO4QqlJhjs_zW8MxjQKXlwYvFq_DB8eOuRHJU0S6Mp0J7CLMrxIoaiNS12ninui_hkKQU7H-6BdQ9ITe89fsxbGYO6jj_U6AXshijxDG2fS2raPD84/s320/DSC08392.JPG" border="0" /></p>MyFairytaleMomenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09460102947071189126noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098179164703551917.post-58809619454257114972009-01-10T09:57:00.000-08:002009-01-10T10:07:26.087-08:00Starting out...<span style="color:#663333;"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Hello all! I have been meaning to get down to business for a LONG time, and now I have FINALLY started! My Etsy shop is set up, although empty until tomorrow when I can start posting things. I will be working hard all weekend to get pictures up and posted. At first it will be baby clutches of all colors, and as I finish crafting I will post. I eventually want to add my jewelry and maybe even clothing to the mix! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Keep checking in on me at </span></span><a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.myfairytalemoment.etsy.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#993300;">http://www.MyFairytaleMoment.etsy.com</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#663333;">; you might just find something you didn't know you had to have!!</span>MyFairytaleMomenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09460102947071189126noreply@blogger.com0
