Painted Pottery, Handcarved stamps, and Paintings oh my!!

Sorry channeling my inner Dorothy there did I mention that I am going to wear ruby slippers to my wedding??!!

Anyways, here are some painted ceramic coasters that have not been fired yet, so they will look drastically different when they are. I am continuing with the tattoo series a bit.

Here is a painted canister that my mom specifically requested. She wants a set of famous art pieces on canisters and dishes! Can you guess which one this is?? ** Molly you can't guess because you should know already!!** This one also isnt fired yet. I'll be sure to posrt after they come out of the kiln.

Also I have rediscovered my love for print making in the form of and carving stamps!! I got the Idea from http://www.craftpudding.com/ to glue them on wood blocks to mae them easier and less messy

I also bought these cute mini letter stamps at Micheals crafts the other day for $1 each!! Isn't that cool I am really obssessed with stamps lately...if only I could thing of something to stamp them on!! lol

Also here is an update on the painting I was working on. I think it is almost finished but not quite. It is in thet stage where it needs something else but I am scared to mess it up by working it to much ya know?

Also good news ART PARTY TONIGHT!! and the watching of Project Runway double YAY!! I couldent' remember if I showed this to yall it was made by my bff Molly of http://www.specsandwings.blogspot.com/. It is a necklace/ small painting/ decoration for my lamp for the time being!! Thanks Molly!!

Painted Ceramics

Here is tile I painted that I am going to use as a coaster. It is part of the tattoo ceramics series

I made these dog bowls for my baby Diego!! They aren't fired yet but I will post pics of them when they are. The inside should be a light yellow and the outside light blue with a dark blue rim!

New Painting for Mrs. Kiser

It is really weird that in a year and a half MY name will be Ms. Kiser!! but anyways this is a painting that I made for my future mother in law!!

What do yall think about the orange in the mix with the white?? It was somewhat of an accident. I didnt realize that the red would bleed through the white no matter how many coats I put on it, and get darker as the white dries. But I kind of like it

Finally Granny Square Number 10...or is it 11??

Granny # 10 or 11

this one is really cute don't you think?? It took a while to finish longer than others and was a little complicated when it got the the last two rounds, but over all pretty good

I have been creating up a storm!!! I have a painting in the works...finished another, 2 ceramic pet bowls, a new japanese print book, and a new addition to the tattoo ceramics!! Lucky for yall I have been documenting with pictures!! Expect many posts in the days to come...here is a sneak peak at a new painting

3 reasons why I haven't posted granny # 10

Reason # 1

granny number 10 is ridiculous and not a true grann square, it does not crochet around the edges but diagonally...and it is not cute and hard!! So I have expelled it from the count down and I am working on # 11

Reason #2

my fiance and I made a frivilous purchase....we bought a Wii and it is really fun!!

Reason #3

I was making this!! for my new sister in law to be!!

it is 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas,

it is called "All in the Family"

the pics turned out a little darker than it is in person, it is also coated with many THICK layers or varnish

What do yall think?

I'm Back with GREAT News

Hi, I'm back from my 4th of July trip to the lake and I'm engaged!! I have a wonderful fiance, a wonderful family a wonderful proposal and a beautiful ring!! It was all so perfect!!

Granny Square # 5

well I worked on some squares during my trip and I started with this one!! It is a daffodil!! and very cute I may add!!

Granny #6

this next square is soo cute I think! It is a butterfly!! The square was easy but I had to do the wings twice

Granny #7

I absolutely love this one, It was a Christmas wreath pattern and I just changed the colors it turned out so cute. The wreath poofs up for added dimension

Granny #8

This one was a tricky little booger and ugly too I dont like the way it turned out do you??

Granny # 9

this one was easy breezy and cute too!

4th of July trip to the lake!!

Hi, I am going out of town for the 4th and will be back on Monday so the Grannies will have to be paused until I get back. Don't worry I will be crocheting up a storm at the lake and will post numbers 5-9ish when I get back!! Have a great holiday and see you soon!

Granny Number 4

this one was a tricky little booger, I had to do the flower three times until I understood the patter, the flower puffs out a bit and that made it tricky, but all in all I like the finished product it looks very neat and precise to me!!

Granny Square Number 3

cutesty heart granny square, this one is ok, the heart is sewn on after the square is finished (cheating) but it still looks cute an very ruffly!!
