Getting the Bunnies Out of the Nest

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

paper mache bunnies
These paper mache bunnies are ready to leave the nest. I’m thinking they want to be pink or chocolate with white glass glitter frosting. Their backsides are flat and are covered in decorative paper. I think that once the paint and glitter dries I will give them some vintage ribbon collars.

My Newest Thrift Store Find

Thrift Store DeerIsn’t he cute? I’m not a fan of these little Japan figurines, but his face is just so expressive.

Now, what to do with him? He’s too big to hang out with the Putz Christmas houses. I think I may have to find him a permanent home next Christmas. Can’t you just see him with a little organza bag of treats tied around his neck?

Stamp Out Alzheimer’s

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

Join me in my quest to Stamp Out Alzheimer’s with a special swap. You make 21 items and receive 20 back. The spare is used to raise money for Alzheimer’s research through eBay’s charity auctions.

Would anyone be interested in this? If so, please sign up to the Stamp Out Alzheimer’s Yahoo Group I’ve created to keep track of things and participate in the poll so I know which art form is the most popular.

No matter which art form we use, the first swap theme will be Cherished Memories- something that reminds you of a special day or person.

I was fooling around with some of the bingo cards I just bought recently and for some reason, these guys just wanted to jump right on.

I painted a light layer of copper and blue liquid acrylics on the cards. For the sailor, I added a small piece of sheet music, a button and a bit of colorful fiber. For the baby, I scratched a heart in the paint and added a button and fiber.
