What was supposed to be a quick project...

Seemed to drag on.  As each color needs to be applied separately and allowed to dry.  The black needed 3 "coats". What looks like silver is actually iridescent white.  I'm going to add a stick/holder and viola! ...

Hopping around...

More than a jackrabbit!  I came across this last night while I was working on the mattress... So, here goes, I got to thinking -- I have this half finished mask and I don't have enough time to finish the mattress anyway, so why not work on that... I had the mask "shape" and the feathers attached, but nothing else.  I painted it silver, started adding some glitter,...

So, I think I have all the things I need

I changed my mind on the mattress covering yesterday.  I want it to look shabby chic and I think a traditional ticking would be better than the white I was planning (I will use that for the mattress pad). I have a photo of cutting out the foam.  The "pattern" was made after careful measuring and doing the math to see what a queen sized bed would be.  It is...

Blogs, Boards and Forums??

Is it me? What's with all the Blogs?? Boards?? Forums?? For me it started with DOA (Den of Angels), I joined, learned how to navigate, posted... DOA was kind of "restrictive" in that certain dolls couldn't be discussed.  This was fine, as I understood or thought I understood their method**.  The dolls had to be asian ball jointed dolls, (unless someone had an affiliation with them -- you saw dolls such as Briar, Yslande (sp?) -- Dollfair...
