Sugar Skulls & Sugar Skulls...

Hello!

How are you?

All is wonderful here on the prairie!

No true Spring weather yet, but that's okay because I have much going on in the art studio.

This week I am filling an order for sugar skull necklaces!

This has been my biggest commission yet!

A place of business has ordered dozens of the skulls for a May art event in Iowa, celebrating the Mexican culture.

I even put my new bead baking rack to use and loved it!

I'm getting closer to completing this order and have nicely wrapped each cord around my business cards. I thought that the white background showed off the skull better, having all of my colorful info on the backside.

It's been a nice break from canvas painting, which I did all weekend and most all of last week. (I will show that project soon, as it's on it's way to Virginia and I do not want to blow the surprise)!

For now, I'm off to string more beads and then get these babies boxed up for shipping!

Wishing you all a fabulous day!

Until next time...

Fall Festivities & Funky Art!

Hello, my friends!

How are you?

Wonderful, I'm hoping!

I'm back to a fast and furious work week after a lovely weekend. Sigh.

My friend, Kim, and I did take a little road trip on Saturday, to the annual, "Maple Leaf Festival". There were so many vendors, selling their handcrafted goods...

Along with antiques and foods!

The tie dye booth was calling my name.

Oh dear.

I could not make up my mind on which garments to purchase! I must say, this tie dye artist used the most beautiful colors and created amazing designs. Of course, I was in full blown "Fall mode". I ended up buying the dress, in the earthy, Fall colors...

And a long sleeved t-shirt!

Love, love, love!

After hours and hours of walking...

And stuffing ourselves with Mexican food...

It was also nice to be warm (and weary), at home that evening.

On Sunday, I was rejeuvenated and ready to create!

A bit of art journaling (still in progress)...

And a whole lot of sculpting.

Painting.

Stringing.

I came up with these- "La Catrina" inspired necklaces!

And that sums up my weekend!

Tell me all about yours!!!

See you again very soon!
