Hi, Y'all! It's been a HOT summer!!! It hit 102 here today! I personally am not a fan. I grew up in Washington state so I prefer a milder climate. Well the kiddos are back at school and I am able to focus more on my crafting...and blogging...lol...I know it's been awhile.
Well, while I was trying to stay cool, I picked up a new hobby and I am very EXCITED about it!!!! I am creating wire and beaded crosses freehand! One night I sat down and began twisting and molding wire and wrapping it with beautiful glass beads. It came very naturally for me. I enjoy it very much. It can be very tedious when working on a larger project and I get cuts on my hands but it is very fulfilling. Sometimes it can take HOURS to complete one cross and I have to take breaks. As I master my techniques, I know the process will be faster. I do not use a form to make my crosses. They are all freehand and a little imperfect just like me! :) The good news is that no two crosses will be the same!
I started listing some of them in my Etsy shop but I still have a ton to list. I have a bunch of pics up on my FaceBook Fan page.
I have also been brushing up on my painting skills! I've been learning more about textures while using acrylics. Acrylics are my fave to work with!!! I hope to be creating more paintings soon...I have a few mixed media pieces in the works.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope to see you soon!
HAVE A LOVELY DAY!
