In Awe

Well I was having a pretty rough day and decided to sit down and work on a project. I had colored a stamp but I was not sure what to do with it. The stamp was one from the Bloom Collection by Prima Marketing. She turned out beautiful when I finished coloring her.

The joys of crafting lift me up but at the same token I am a perfectionist that has to have things just right or I am not happy. Since my mood was pretty off I decided to see what I could do to lift my spirits and have a bit of fun with.

Here are the results.

 This was my starting layout to see how I would put it together.

 

My final piece. I think she turned out fabulous and Free Spirit fits perfectly. To think that I managed to put this together makes me feel so proud.

 

I am really looking forward to planning another mixed media piece. This lets me be free to experiment and flow. I love my other crafts and wouldn't trade them for the world but this lets me get messy and create from my soul.

Who knows what I will come up with next.

Happy Crafting

Having Some Fun!!!

Well I have been having a little bit of fun. I decided to do a mixed media piece and I really like how it turned out. It has me so excited to try some other mixed media pieces and see what my mind can come up with.

One of the things I have come across in my internet and YouTube travels has been using medias such as paper napkins and fabric to make something very unique. I love butterflies and I found some paper napkins in the dollar store. I wasn't really sure what I was doing and how things were going to turn out but that is the fun of creating. The palette was just like my writing palette. It definitely brought smiles to my face to be able to see something come together.

I am going to be doing more projects and letting my creative mind flow.

I am proud of my first piece. Who knew that I had such creativity leaving inside of me like this. Thank you Lord.

Until next time, craft on and I hope to see what you can come up with and soon.

Too Many Ideas

Boy oh boy. I get way too many ideas and love way too many things. I am already thinking about how I can do something special for awareness. I am plotting and planning and hopefully I will be able to get what is in my head out how I would like it. I think that is the biggest challenge in crafting. Nothing is ever simple when it comes to the mind of one who crafts.

Seeing things in so many different ways is a gift and a curse. A gift because it means my mind never stops thinking of something new but a curse because trying to get it together can drive me crazy. I wouldn't trade it for the world though. I love the challenge of making something and seeing how someone else will like it.

I need my own crafting space but alas that is not to be at the moment. I can dream though. I can even imagine what it will look like and how much space I will have. There also lies another dilemma because I need my own writing space as well and that needs to be a separate room from my crafting space. LOL. I just need the whole house to myself. Well I have a long way to go before that happens.

Oh well in the mean time I will keep dreaming and making my crafts in my space.
