#5 of 10 Things I Love in No Particular Order

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!
