I'm hooked on doing these now! I've seend some pics where she is wearing blue, sometimes blue inside red and sometimes blue outside, so i'm going to try that next.
When i was in Russia there were Mary Icons everywhere. Then when my cousins took us to a wonderful village called Lincoln we went into the cathedral and i saw the icon again. I have attached the photo of the icon from the cathedral that has inspired me to create this pin. The face is polymer clay that is dusted with perfect pearls. I've machine felted the body and embellished with sequins and beads. I'm in love.
I'm working with polymer clay to come up with some faces for the women pins and then i started to make just pendants! I'm using the pearls pigments to color them, they look like porcelin afterwards!
I am getting better at soldering!! My youngest daughter Gelly is working on digital art for me to encase in my soldering! Trying to prepare for my upcoming Xmas shows!
Had a lovely week in Ontario seeing lots of friends relatives and sights! Finally getting down to some felting "orders" for a wedding in Wales next month!! I'm almost sold out of pieces at the local gallery so i've got lots of felting work ahead of me!
Two of my bestest friends in the world. We did a surprise dance on stage during the reception complete with smoke machine!! We performed "Dancing Queen" from Mama Mia! It was so much fun!
My daughter designed and made her own wedding dress as well as the bridesmaid (3) dresses. I felted her a wrap as it was COLD in the mountains in April!
Having a garage (boot) sale tomoro and then off to Vancouver for a few days. We will return just in time for the "Star Belly Jam" music festival!!!!!!!!!! Time is flying by! I'm 'thinking" of all the stuff i want to make, after visiting my cousin i have even MORE ideas now!!!!!!
I'm away from blogging once again! My daughters wedding in Banff was absolutely gorgeous - it was a week long celebration allowing everyone to get to know each other very well. It was wonderful. Now i am honoured to be asked to travel to Disneyland to meet up with the honeymooners for their last 4 days of honeymoon!!!!!
