Perfume Bottle Pictures

I am just going to put this out there, anyone, can you hire me for one of my dream jobs that were listed in some past posts?  It's gotta happen!  Artist for hire!  Anyone?!  It was one of those days at my regular job.  A day when you are in your car before the clock is even one minute past your punch out time.  What do you do?  Happy hour!  Wow was that beer good today. :)

OK, OK here is my post.  Art, my stress reliever.  The small powder room in my home needed a bit of decorating so, I decided to go with a girly theme.  To start with I drew three pictures of perfume bottles.  This was really fun and it got me thinking about making more things like this.  Beauty products come in all shapes and sizes and some of them really lend themselves to my style of artwork.  I'll have to see what other things would work for this decor.  Just when you think all of your ideas are exhausted a new one is born.

Heartthrob Cafe Memories

The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe.  It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun!  Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce.  This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with.  So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event.  We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here.  We danced and sang birthday songs.  The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates.  We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life.  Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession.  In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins.  Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant.  Let me...

Too many ideas!

When is comes to this time of year, my mind goes into creative overdrive.  I realize my posting is much less now that my original goal has been met, but believe me, I am still making stuff.  There are about ten Christmas gifts in the works as well as my calender drawings.  Current projects involve sewing, crafting, drawing and crocheting.  I am proud to say that a good chunk of gifts are already done or close to being done, yeah!  Working in a fabric store has definitely boosted my creativity and some days too many ideas are crowding my mind.  Because funds are still low for us, I have been buying things bit by bit every payday.  It helps to not have to blow an entire paycheck all at once.  This also is good because with my discount on top of sale price, I have gotten some incredible deals. Add caption Today, my post will be the first of my calender pages.  There are two finished so only ten to go!

Spring Tulips

I love the fun hot pink frame for this!  It was originally made to look like bamboo, but needed a fresh look and it looks great paired with my flower design.  This is what I call doodling with scissors.  Last night, I was at a loss as to what to do so I just started cutting out different shapes.  There were different colored papers and a lot of scraps on the floor.  The final design ended up as a tulip with a lot of leaves.  A regular tulip has longer leaves but for this project the smaller ones were a better fit.  Believe me I tried the longer leaves and have the bits of paper to prove it.  Tulips to me say spring so that is why I chose them.  The quote for the day was something that I came across in a magazine and really liked.
