my last butterfly

I have been having trouble coming up with one more unique page.  As I said in the beginning, I wanted to try different things on each page using different ideas and materials.

I went to make cookies this morning, and the butter box was an eagle carrying the word butter. A light bulb went off, and I ran upstairs to craft (No the cookies are not even started yet).

Items For Church Auction

Our church has an annual auction every year for raise money for various programs. It is called Make It/ Bake It. Members make and bake things thats that are offered in both a silent and live auction. Here are my contributions for this years.

First I made 8 domino magnets and a key chain. Nothing fancy, just alcohol ink, dominoes, and sealant.

mint tin

This was my first attempt at altering a mint tin. The theme is “at the beach” The outside was done with stream and silver alcohol inks. The shells on top are images stamped in translucent oven bake clay, then painted with alcohol inks.

two more butterflies, one to go

The last few days my imagination has went on vacation. I did manage to finish two more butterflies, with one to go. I am stumped as to what I want to do with the last one.
