Hoping to recruit more angels who love to create/send greeting cards and/or Angel crafts to those in need of some cheer in their lives. It's a screened, private group...no info is made public. If you would like to join this great group of caring women, would like more info or you know someone who needs to know people do care, please visit Mailbox Angels on Facebook.

4 Garden Art creations...
2 totems, a birdbath and wind chimes, all made from junk glass. Found most of the glass at rummage sales, thrift shops and my cabinets...with the exception of the bottles...which were a by-product ;-)
Had a bunch of ATC's left from series' of trades I did, so decided to mount them on cardstock to use as notecards/greeting cards.. like mini pieces of art. They're removable so can be matted and framed. Here are a few:
"Art in My Garbage" is a favorite theme I deamed up. All that "stuff" in the trash-bin surely has another life as an "art supply" - Yesterday the discovery was date pits ;-D They scrub up well, have a nice rustic, "woody" look and make great beads when drilled with a fine dremel bit. Have also just discovered "sea beans", along with the lovely shells on the Texas beaches. The teeniest bit of baby oil shines them up nice. Avocados, apple seeds, prune pits, etc. can all be used as well. http://www.beachbeans.com/bean_descriptions.html
Inspiration
Hoping to share inspiration with thosewho visit. “Art is in the doing. It isn’t important how it turns out. The process is where the pleasure, the learning and the experience take place. A day without some sort of creative endeavor is a wasted day.” Myrna Wacknov
Call of the Wild was a page created for a Traveling Journal while a member on an altered book site. The book is gone, but at least I have photos of the art created. This is a combination of stamping, collage and freehand.
ok...cat lover here. Why is it that cats, stamps and computers just "go" together?! AmberJo is our rescued Texas kitty. They say a cat chooses you and she sure did. Here's the little dickens.
