It's all about the light, man

Okay, well I dunno if the weather all over the country is bizarro, too, but this year we have had more rain and gray days. A week or so ago it got hot and summery and we all thought HEY! This is it, winter is over, YAY....but then the rain and clouds came back. I don't mind too much because I can get more work done when the weather isn't so grand, but it's the lighting, man... It makes it harder to take a decent photo. You should see me, hauling the little creatures around, throwing blinds around, pushing curtains back,uploading,cursing blurry pics, repeat! Repeat!!! I am a mini hurricane during this whole process. Maybe it's just me.

I made three new little creatures, but I am going to try to hope for some sun later and take the pics then. Here is a sneak peek of one in midnight's lightbulb light.

Brooch Pin

I am going to start making little monsters called Lost and Foundlings from my scraps...which really is what inspires me anyway. So to even try to suggest (on my part)that they are an afterthought isn't right. Somehow it's the "for fun" "to relax" projects that are really the heart and soul of you.

Catfish Kate

I dunno, everytime I make a new stuff-ed I think it is my fave....

Samson

Here's the new Monster all stuffed. I love his colors. They define me, most of the time...hehe.

Inspiration

I am always inspired by the cut, inside-out, fraying parts of clothes....or fabric. It's my scrap bowl(haha, yeah a tupperware one) that inspires me....and when I say scraps I don't mean what other people probably mean...the skinniest scraps and shreds that i can't throw away, only useful to the nutty. Anyway it's looking at all that tangled thread that gets my wheels working. I don't know about you but this is how I work.

Is today Tuesday or Wednesday??

Okay, I know I totally broke my own vow, but I am back to try to post daily... Along with two newer creations, I am posting the little doodles that inspired them. I always love to see the work progress of other crafters.
A lot of my stuff is a mixed look because usually I can't stand to recreate things. I get bored easily. Plus I have so many ideas fighting for space upstairs that I need to keep experimenting. Anyhoo...

Excuses

It's been kind of hard to do anything lately because of a cold everyone seems to be getting AND now that the weather is finally hot the kids want to be outside all of the time.
I can't seem to take any good photos of those three little paintings! I will try again.
