Enchanted

I think like everyone, I am ready for spring. I am ready for the gorgeous flowers that smile at me everyday.

I am one of those goddess women who believe in fairies and sparkles and smiles.

So when i came across this most awesome stamp I went literally all warm and fuzzy.

Yummy eh?

I created a couple of pretty cards.
My favorite this one.

And its super simple to make. The butterfly is an outline sticker. Place the outline sticker on a piece of watercolour paper.
Get out your favorite watercolours; twinkling H20's, Peerless Watercolour, Pencils etc.
Choose your favorite colours, using a brush wet the paper, and then start adding the colours, they will mix and blend together. Let it dry and then i used Prisma pencils to accent the butterfly.
Then i stamped "Enchanted"with a black dye ink, on a small piece of watercolour paper, and painted it to compliment the larger area.
Attach to a card and you have a lovely card.
Take care my art friends

Create Peace

Art by ANg coming to you from her new lazy boy recliner!

I love the color combination of pinks and browns. So when I found this AWESOME stamp, patterned heart  and this CREATE PEACE at my favorite stamping store VLVS I just knew I could create something very pretty.

 I am just tickled pink! I love how they turned out!

1. Select the colors you want. I used a bronze/brown cardstock, pink cardstock, and some sticky back fabric. (From  DCWV - Die Cuts With A View)
2. I selected the papers I wanted as my focus, rubberstamped the Patterned heart Stamp with Timber Brown Stazon.
3. If you notice it created a very subtle look. I wanted it like that. So that I could accent the parts of the stamps by using Prisma colored pencils .
4. "Create Peace " was stamped on each card.
5. Layering - Your Base card, a layer of pink cardstock, patterend paper, base color again, switch it up, use those little pieces of paper that are left over.
6. Attach some pretty brads, to accent.
7. Embellish - I used some pretty pink flowers to embellish the cards. I bought some Mica Flakes by Stampendous. OMGosh! These are super pretty. Use any glossy varnish/medium/glue and put a small amount on your card and then sprinkle the Mica Flakes in the glue. Let it dry. I even used pretty ribbon.
Cards are perfect for those embellishments that you only have a few of.

I used MIRACLE TAPE to attach the layers.

I used the following stamps :

Patterned Heart

Here  is the link for the Patterned Heart.
Here is the link for the Create Peace.
Here is the link for the Ribbon.

P.S. These cards are available to at a very affordable cost! Each one of them are handcrafted by me.
They come with a pretty envelope stamped with the same Patterned heart.
Leave me a comment if interested, the set is 22.00. Postage is extra.

Goddess Sparkle

OK I am going to say I had SO much fun making this. I was so inspired by the awesome and crazy Mark Montano, he put up a tutorial on altered cans. Hmmmmm, my wheels starting turning....I am starting a new job Monday, Its with the same company BUT its a new job.
So i wanted to create something pretty to put on my desk.
ARE YOU READY?

What FUN!

DON'T EVER LET ANYONE DULL YOUR SPARKLE

So lets get started:
SIDE NOTE: The first stamp " Listening Hearts Hear Angels Sing" is not a Viva LasVegaStamp, however it is on their site under other companies.

The "DONT LET ANYONE EVER DULL YOUR SPARKLE."
The stamp can be located HERE
For my 2nd Post of January I will showcasing the same stamp, but HEY! its the most awesome stamp.

Here is VIVA LAS VEGASTAMPS website and see for yourself all the other awesome sayings.

SUPPLIES:
1. Rinsed out soup can. Or any other can you have, drink mix can, vegetable can.
2. Rubber stamp of your CHOICE.
3. I selected favorite poems that spoke to me.
4. PaperFlowers
5. Ribbons
6. Brads
7. Inks,Sprays or Paints you love. I used twinkling H2o's and Radiant pearls and some Mica Mixers
(FYI- Here is a tutorial on how to make the ALTERED PAPERFLOWER.)
8.MIRACLE TAPE
9. Scrapbook Paper
10. Embellishments: Charms, buttons,glitter etc
11. Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Select your pretty Scrapbook Paper. Cut it to fit around the can. Put Miracle tape on the backside of the paper, i put it one the entire piece. Thats what I LOVE about Miracle Tape, it comes in Sheets!
At this point make your Altered PaperFlowers and let them dry.
2. Attach it around the outside of your can. The inside of my can, I put a few drops of Alcohol Inks in there and let it swish around. Mark Montano spray painted his.
3. I then selected poems, there was two that really spoke to me, because I am careful with copyrights, I also cut out the author of the poem and put it with the poem. I used Miracle Tape to put these on the can.
It sounds super easy and it is, placement took me forever as to me composition is very important to a piece, it has to be pleasing to my eye.
4.Stamp your sentiments on a piece of Scrapbook Paper. Attach to the top and each side of the can.
5. Now its time to use your sprays and inks or really whatever you want to use.
I chose my color scheme and just started spraying. It didn't think, i just wanted color, i wanted sparkle. I wanted this to inspire me at my new job.
6. I attached my flowers, and used some pretty ribbon to highlight the flower. Its ALL in the details, the brads in the middle of the flowers match and then it seems a little dark to me, SO i chose some green ribbon to compliment the purple.
IT'S SO PRETTY!
FYI- Anytime i accidently misjudged the tape and it hung over so therefore it was a sticky place on my art, just sprinkle some glitter.
7. Well if you have ever worked in an office, you know how easy pencils and pens walk off a desk. SO hmmmfph NO ONE is going to get away with taking my pencils LOL I even decorated them!!!!
8. REMEMBER TO MAKE IT YOURS, USE THOSE BUTTONS, CHARMS, BRADS , YOU HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL. BECAUSE YOU ARE SPECIAL!
My desk is going to look so Sparkily Goddess Love Shiney Glittery, its going to be full of great energy.

Take care my art friends.
I SO love all the inspiration on this blog. I don't comment like I should, I am a rebel sometimes, I don't mean to it just happens, But I admire each of you.
SO this is dedicated to ALL of you. And the poem I used on my can is located here, Let me know if it speaks to you, as much as it did to me

Shine Brave Goddess

HI my arty friends,

Building on my last post of COOPER STAMPING and ALTERING PAPERFLOWERS , we are going to put it all together to create what I call my "SHINE BRAVE GODDESS. 2013 IS GOING TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT YEAR FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to SHINE, I am going to be Brave and I am going to manifest all of this through my Goddess Work.
GO ME!

OKAY on to the project:


This is with different lighting, so you can see it changes as you look at it, as the sun or light plays on the art.



 

OH MY GOODNESS! Isn't she pretty?
Its an altered piece of Matboard. It can be framed or I could put a nice ribbon on it and hang it.
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
Rubber StampS of your choice. I selected WOMAN IN REPOSE I also used some pretty floral border stamps and some alphabet stamps. I do not have links to these as I long ago lost the packaging.
Copper Sheets
StazOn Black Inkpad
Black Sharpie
Brads
PaperFlowers
MatBoard
Pretty ScrapBook Paper.
Ribbon

FUN Tutorial

Please refer to the top of this post on how to Copper Stamp and How to create the Altered PaperFlowers.

1. The Matboard measure 5x7, the piece of scrapbook paper measure i/4 inch smaller all of way around and the Copper another 1/4 inch smaller all the way around.
Cut out all these pieces.
2. Emboss Copper using any embossing method you want, whether its by machine or hand embossing, both of these methods are called dry embossing.  For this particular embossing I used my Sizzix machine and my CuttleBug embossing folders. What this does is once embossed and I begin the Copper Heating it will give the colours lights and darks that will fall into the valleys of the embossing. YUM!

Step 2- Emboss (dry)

3. Being Copper Heating - Copper Heating is fun to play with. WARNING: It's a conductor of heat, so be very careful when heating it up, always use tongs to hold the sheet. Hold the copper sheet with a pair of tongs, hold the sheet approx 1 1/2 - 2 inches, away from the flame. I used my stove flame. As the copper heats up, the copper miraculously changes colours. You will see lovely colours of gold, oranges , reds and pinks. It truly is gorgeous to see! This will happen rather quickly. 20 seconds at the most. Once you see the color start to change, stop. You will be tempted to continue, however if you see the Copper becoming washed out, almost silver really STOP! Really! Trust me, it won't be as pretty.Let it cool.
4. Stamp your image into the center of the Copper.

Close-up of the Pretty Copper Heating.

5. Make a pretty Altered PaperFlower- Again the link is at the beginning of this post.

6. Then I took a black Sharpie and painted along the edges and corners, immediately smearing the ink into the embossed areas. I wanted an aged look. I had to do this several times to build up the layers to achieve the look you want.
7. If you notice I rubberstamped The Words Shine Brave Goddess with StazOn Black Ink

"GODDESS" stamping

8.Tape the scrapbook Paper to the Matboard, rubber stamp some pretty flowers along the border
9. I then cut a small strip of Cooled Heated Copper and attached it to the right side on the Copper Sheet using MIRACLE TAPE and pretty brads.
10.Position the Pretty Altered PaperFlower to the left top corner, put a pretty brad in each corner.
11.Attached the copper to the Scrapbook Paper using MIRACLE TAPE
12. SIT BACK AND ENJOY YOUR WONDERFUL PIECE OF ART!

ATC - Copper Stamping

Hi my arty friends!

I am loving 2013. SO much to do and see and experience. Eh?

I wanted to share a fun ATC (Artist Trading Card) I made this week.

Angel of Joy

ATC Close up

Pretty eh?

Here are the fun and easy steps to creating this little masterpiece.

1. Gather your supplies -
a. ATC base which measure 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches (I used a chipboard base from CRESCENT.
b. piece of copper sheeting COPPER LINK
c. black paint, any brand will do
d. flame of some source, I used a lighter,other sources could include your burner on your stove, a long lighter you use on your BBQ, a match.
e. Your favorite rubber stamp. I selected a Dawn Houser Stamp. (I am unable to find the link, as its an old stamp and i Believe retired.
f.  Your favorite embellishments, for this card I selected a pretty sparkily brad and a feather.
g.  BLACK SHARPIE
h.. BLACK STAZON STAMP PAD.
2. The ATC base I had at home was white so i wanted it black, I just painted it black and while it was drying I went onto the Copper Heating.
3. I cut my Copper Sheet slightly smaller than my ATC base.
Copper Heating is fun to play with. WARNING: It's a conductor of heat, so be very careful when heating it up, always use tongs to hold the sheet. Hold the copper sheet with a pair of tongs, hold the sheet approx 1 1/2 - 2 inches, away from the flame. I used my stove flame. As the copper heats up, the copper miraculously changes colours. You will see lovely colours of gold, oranges , reds and pinks. It truly is gorgeous to see! This will happen rather quickly. 20 seconds at the most. Once you see the color start to change, stop. You will be tempted to continue, however look at the pic below, see the right side, WELL thats heated a bit too long. It still looks pretty cool, and I love the Serendipity of the changing colors. Let it cool.

GORGEOUS rainbow colours.

4. I then applied the Black StazOn to my rubber stamp and then stamped it onto the Copper. Side note: StazOn is a permanent ink, so its really good for non porous surfaces, its a perfect choice for stamping on Copper. Make sure your ink pad is nice and juicy, once you make contact with your inkpad and stamp, if the area is not black within a few pouncing motions, then it is time to re ink your pad. Don't over ink. Nice, Easy pressure when stamping. Don't push hard, smooshing the stamp , it will distort the image.
the5. Its time to make this ATC - Artist Trading Card, POP! I embossed the copper with my CUTTLEBUG.
I selected a folder that had viines and scrolls and birds, it flowed with the Goddess Stamp and her wings.
The impression were quite deep and pretty.
6. Then I took a black Sharpie and painted along the edges and corners, immediately smearing the ink. I wanted an aged look. I had to do this several times to build up the layers to achieve the look you want.
7. Along the left hand side I stamped the word "JOY" Use the font set you like!
8. Copper cuts easily, just be careful, I used my big Fiskar scissors. I cut a small rectangle, embossed that with the same pattern as the ATC.
9. I then arranged the small rectangle and a small feather and attached to the stamped Copper using a glitter brad.
10. Last but not least I needed to attach the Copper to my ATC base. I really wanted something that I could trust and knew it would stick.
MIRACLE TAPE! I can't say enough about this tape. It creates a permanent bond for layered art work.
COPPER stamping is just beautiful as each time you heat copper up you never know what patterns will occur.
This is a fun and relaxing technique. Leave me a comment if you decide to try it. I would love to see your artistic creations.

Art on!

2013 and Altering Paper Flowers

WOW 2013 has been an interesting year already. I am SO excited and have so much news to share with you.

This year beginning in February I will be taking GRIEF COACHING CERTIFICATION . OMG! I am beyond excited.
ME!!!!!!!!!

I am also enrolled in some art courses. One of them dollmaking. YIPS and SQUEALS!

And i am busy applying to a couple of Design Teams, I am finding I am really loving the inspiration that flows through a team.

Alot of wonderful and fun energy flowing around me.

There is so much more. I will save that for another time.

Onward to a wonderful art tutorial.

I love Paper Flowers. However I don't always have the colors I need or want.

As a mixed media artist the wonderful notion is that I have ALL the supplies to make them any colors I want.


Gorgeous eh?

And its really alot of fun and pretty easy.

Get our your favorite Paper Flowers,I started out with a Country Blue color. they can be bought anywhere, including the dollar tree now and days,

For these particular ones, I gave them a nice even quick Spritz of the Cadillac Pink

Let it dry completely.

Now start to play with some Mica powder, there are lots of different powders. To be honest my favorite is Pearl EX  and I bought some awesome glitter Makeup, mixed it with any kind of glaze. . YES its that easy.
Add a pretty brad and ribbon and you have gorgeous embellishments for your next Mixed media Art.

Stay tuned as soon I will have a pretty nifty mixed media piece of fun using my "Altered Paper Flowers."

Other ideas. Paint with the Lacquer, once dry use Alcohol Inks to paint the flowers.
Dry brush acrylic paint onto the petals. Get out all that fun glitter.
Its ALL about the glimmer for me.
Ink Sprays, watercolor paint, and any oyher lovely wet medium can be used.

Use that wonderful Cratfy imagination!
Art on,

Sparkle!~

HI my arty smarty friends! Isn't life grand? I love that this is 2013. 13 is my lucky number so I am excited for this year.

I have plans, goals and dreams!

Which leads me into my project.

I created it for a contest. (I didn't win, nope I didn't LOL)

HOWEVER isn't it the bomb?

And of course Viva LasVegaStamps is the greatest and was included in this work of art.

Here is a close up of the most awesome stamp, it truly spoke to me from the moment I saw it.

The stamp can be located HERE

For the sign, i painted it with twinkling H20's and painted some chunky glitter on it. I mean really easy. It doesn't take much make a piece of art and take it to another level.

Art to me has meaning, and I hope you "DON'T LET ANYONE EVER DULL YOUR SPARKLE!"

I also wanted to talk alittle about something else......

Miracle tape or in the instance MIRACLE SHEETS

On the angel tree the oval medallions I had to attach the angel art, which was created on a mixed media paper, onto the lazer ovals, So i traced the oval onto the Miracle Tape Sheets and cut out and attached to the ovals and then attached the angel art.

It HOLDS and I do mean TIGHT! I am a tape snob, I want it to stick. And trust me this does stick. And its relatively inexpensive.

So try it I am sure you will like it.

SPARKLE ON LOVILIES!

HI my friends!!!!!!

Its that time again! I am selling sets of Christmas cards. I take great care in paying attention to the small details that make my cards unique. I started selling them three years ago and I have built up a nice clientele.

This year I am opening my cards to my online friends.

The following cards are the first sets that I will be showcasing.

The first one is a lovely poinsetta. Its a stamped image and then heat embossed with black powder. What this mean, it creates a raised effect, so the cards are very textural.

I hand painted them with a watercolor called "Twinkling H20's". It makes them SO pretty. Each of the cards are edged with a gold leafing pen, creating a very elegant
look. This particular one I used vintage lace to hold a lovely "Merry Christmas" sentiment.

Each card is slightly different, whether it be a lovely sparkily gold glitter star brad, or an antique mini star brad. Christmas cards to me are elegant and that is what I strive for!

The second set is a vintage Santa, the Santa is stamped on a piece of vellum which is then layered on top of pretty cardstock. These cards are in a light blue, cream and brown. Very elegant!

A lovely pretty bow with a small diamond like gem enhances the card, along with the word "Joy" rubber stamped. The card has small details that the camera does not capture, In the beard of the Santa I use an awesome Gel pen that writes with a silver sparkily ink and it makes the card POP!

Again each of these cards are similar but each one if different. You may get one that is the same, however each card is hand embellished.

Inside each of these cards is a lovely Christmas sentiment.
" Have A Holly Jolly Christmas."

The envelopes are embossed with a really pretty scroll pattern. Here is a link tht shows what the pattern looks like.
PRETTY SCROLL PATTERNS.

Please leave me a comment if you interested.

The prices are as follows:

$5.00 a piece
OR
5 for $20.00
OR
10 for $30.00


Standard $5.00 Shipping no matter where you are, FOR THE 5 AND 10 PACK AND $2.50 FOR THE SINGLES. THESE PRICES ARE ACTUALLY BELOW MY POSTAGE COST SO ITS REALLY JUST TO HELP OUT WITH MAILING COSTS.

Stay tuned for Angel Cards by MOI! <3

Just Keep Swimming

Hi my art friends! I have a fun tag that I created just for YOU!

I have been selected to be on the VIVA LAS VEGASTAMP DESIGN TEAM! Its a company in the United States that has thousands of unique rubber stamps, along with other art supplies.

So I am really excited to part of an awesome fun company.

Here is the complete tag I made:

Here is the stamp I used

The link to the stamp
FISHY CRACKER.

Its 1x 1 1/4 inches. I love it. I love to draw mermaids so I am sure you are going to see me use this cute little stamp again.
Here is a pic of the supplies I used.

1. Versamark ink pad
2. White embossing powder
3. White shipping tag
4. Twinkling H2Os
5. Water brush
6. The fishy cracker stamp

Note shown:
1. Sea Salt
2. Various pens for doodling.

First stamp the fish with the Versamark ink Pad, this is a clear ink, sprinkle the white embossing powder and heat emboss.
Once that is done, moisten the Twinkling H2O's with water and let them soften up a bit. Then begin to randomly paint over the entire tag. Don't worry about getting the watercolor paints on the stamp fish as the white embossed area acts like a resist.
While it is wet lightly sprinkle some sea salt on the wet areas.
Let it dry completely and then once dry wipe the sea salt off, it will leave small layered spots where the salt sucked up the paint.

Add some personal writing and doodles and a lovely art tag will appear!

This tag was inspired by "Finding Nemo". The scene where Nemo and is sad and about ready to give up and Dory played by the awesome Ellen Degeneres - but anyways she sings a song
"Hey Mr Grump Gills
You know what you gotta do when life gets you down?
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming swimming swimming
What do we do we swim, swim, swim
OH HO HO How I love to swim
When you WAAAAAANNTTT to swim you want to swim"

So this tag was made to inspire YOU, that no matter what, just keep swimming.
Just keep reaching for your hopes and dreams. Just keep doing what your soul and heart tells you.

Here is a close up

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine so much inspiration. (click on each name to be taken to their blog.

Here is my little bit of love inspiration.

So the theme is Harvest. As i thought about fall i began thinking about my favorite part of the Fall season. Halloween and my love of skulls. For they have a very personal meaning to me. So to me, I made a connection HARVEST-FALL-HALLOWEEN-SKULLS.


We were given some Amazing Mold Putty, i was quite skeptical. WAS is the important part of that sentence. OMG, you take each parts of the Amazing Mold Putty smoosh it together for a quick 15 to 20 seconds (NO longer as it will set and then be no good)
Find something you want to make a mold of, for me it was this awesome little heart locket.

SO small but it worked, i am always wanting a very small heart. Once you have the Putty mixed up immediately press it into your object and mold it up and around. Let it set for about 15 minutes, pop it out and then voila your have a mold.

It really is quite an AMAZING product.

So my other passion is ATC's. Artist trading cards! BTW I have over 3000!

So i rolled out a sheet of Creative PaperClay (I utterly adore this clay!) to the size of an Artist Trading Card, which is 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. I pressed some of my favorite rubber stamps into the clay, this time it was a heart scroll and a skullie.

Let it dry! I usually let mine dry overnight and once it dries i then iron it flat, it does curl alittle. I then painted it with some Crystal Lacquer. That makes it non porous, which is what i want for my project.

Then let the painting begin! I squirted some Alcohol Inks on it, played around with some Rub N Buff, Highlighted with some White Paint and some Sakura Souffle pens.

The key for me is layers.

That little heart i made from my mold i put right in the middle of the card. It was a perfect addition to my ATC.
I added some Martha Stewart chunk glitter and a few star sequins.

Lets just say i LOVE my card.
I hope this inspires you.

PLEASE visit the other blogs and say hi and i believe on the AMAZING MOLD PUTTY BLOG there is a voting for the art project with the most votes.

Art on,

More HeArt

Art to me is very personal. Hearts show up as a way to tell the world via art how I am feeling. Today I am feeling, hmmmmm melancholy. Melancholy- A deep, pensive, and long-lasting sadness So here is my little bound up heart

A little blue heart, Creative Paperclay® is awesome in that you can use it to express feelings, happy or sad, this heart was created by rolling out a small ball and then pressed down to the depth I wanted it, this is about 1/8 of inch and then using a cookie cutter, just like you would if you were cutting out cookies. ~*Remember.....Do not use equipment on food after you have used it on the clay!~** I then painted it using blue metallic paint by Jaquard, and distressed using a awl or whatever sharp thing you have. (this is all done after the clay has dried) I punched some holes in the clay and laced it up with some twine i had. Here is a pic of a piece of clay dried and then punched with a hole. This is to show it does not crack! You can punch holes in it. Its not a brittle clay.

I hope you create some HeArt! ANg

“Viva Las VegaStamps! DT Tryout”.

Representing myself...... How does one in a short amount of time and space, represent? How do I tell this company how passionate I am about art? How do I really tell them art saved my life, therefore I create straight from my heart. Well I guess I just show them my style. And even that....hmmmmm But here is goes anyways

This small (1 1/2 inches by 1 inch) opens up to a become a star, thus the name "Starbook". It has rubber stamped "Art" on the front, and you can't tell but the butterfly has Tim Holtz "Rock Candy" on it, to give it lots of textures. There is also lots of distressing going on here.

This greeting card, has SO many layers, most of the stamping was done using the Letraset Aquamarkers, (YUMYY!) there is heat embossing, metal embossing, Cheery Lane Design - die cuts, brads, stickers, tag, distressing with ink pads also~! SO multi-layered!

Last but not least is a hand drawn little sun nymph. I included this one because i wanted to show that rubber stamping is ART! The sun stamped diamond is stamped with a permanent ink, and then i sewed a small pillow. It was stamped on Tyvek, and then dyed with twinkling H2Os! WHEW! I hope I am selected.

ANgel of the Moment

Yesterday was a day of revelations. My dad was riding his bike one moment , the next moment he remembers he is laying on a gurney waiting for the helicopter to fly him to a shock trauma hospital, over an hr away. He was hit by a truck. I am 10 hrs away. Its a scary time to know a loved one is hurting and there is nothing I can do. He is ok. traumatized, brusied, scared and alive and home. I talked to him this morning, its like he said "One moment, thats all it takes." So my newest heart angel is called the "Angel of the Moment." She began with a heart that is shaped with tissue paper and lace. Paint was swished and splattered and once dried, the angel image appears.

Isn't she sweet? Art helped me through yesterday. She is for sale. Its my going home for Christmas fund, if interested please contact me , leave a comment. $175.00 and postage. Art on, ANg Size : 12inches by 24 inches, Mixed media heart angel painting. Fluid acrylics, derwent inktense, collage, stencil art, twinkling H2O's, ribbon

Creative PaperClay TIPS

Creative Paperclay is alot of fun to play and experiment with! Here is what i did yesterday. Grabbed my fav supplies, pretty rubber stamps and Creative Paperclay.

I impressed the rubberstamp into the clay, using water as a release. What this mean is rub a small bit of water over the entire stamp, once impressed into the clay it will come out easier. While the clay was moist I gently cut out the butterfly. TIP: WHILE THE CLAY IS MOIST PINCH AND GENTLY MOLD THE BUTTERFLY WINGS, SO WHEN THEY DRY THEY HAVE A DIMENSIONAL LOOK TO THEM. IT MAKES THE WINGS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE JUST LANDED!

Once painted these will look really pretty and dimensional. The finished project is for later this month. STAY TUNED. Art on, ANg
