Crafts!
I recently cleared out our guest room and made it into a craft room. I don't call what I do art because I don't think my work is quite on the level of an "artist" so I will call it crafts for now. I don't sell anything, I just make things for myself and sometimes for friends and family. If I did sell my crafts I am afraid after expenses it would probably net at about $2 an hour and take the joy out of the creative process. I know it's just for so me so who cares if I try a new technique and it doesn't work or if the glue doesn't hold and it falls over. I just start over or glue it back together and move on. Here are a few items I have enjoyed making.
Happy New Year!
I have glued this piece together 3 times!
I found this jar at an antique store and thought it would make a good lamp.
So I decided to cover it was glass mosaic and light it up.

Now here is some REAL art. We call this SHEET ART by Miss Peaches. When we first brought Peaches home we confined her to a crate in the garage when we had to leave the house. We put a sheet over the crate to keep it dark and calm. When we came home each time she had created a new art project with the sheet. So we called it SHEET ART and took a picture. I know, it's kind of stupid, but it amused us!
Take a bow!
Your Miss Peaches is a sweetie! I used to have a yellow parakeet named Peaches - loved that bird! Your mosaics are lovely...I've got a couple pots I'm hoping to get done this winter...wish me luck! Too many projects and so little time ;)
ReplyDeleteYour mosaics are great, really like the lamp you covered! It looks like art to me; much too nice for a simple craft!
ReplyDeleteOh, Annie. Too, too cute, Miss Peaches and her skilful sheet art. That must have taken quite some doing!
ReplyDeleteYou already know what I think about your creativity! You are far too self-deprecating ;) The rest of us out here are suffering from THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER!!!!!!!!
Simply wonderful, Annie. I wish I had half your artistic talent and flair with colour. What you do makes my heart sing, truly...it's a treat to be able to share in it all, even at such vast distances.
I believe your 'crafts' are delightful, maybe not on the same level as Peaches', but lovely,lol.
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about your ART. It's just absolutely wonderful and looks stunning in your home and your garden. Call it crafts if you like. I call it ART. Peaches is so darn cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your mosaics!! I'm planning on covering some terracotta pots with cermic bits this summer to create my own mosaics! I'm excited about it and haven't even started yet. :o) The dog is adorable, but that goes without saying!!
