Little Pumpkin Face Voodoo Doll just in time for Halloween Decorating

This year I've been making and selling a few voodoo dolls and this little creature won my heart with a lopsided head.

Voodoo Dolls for Halloween - Home Decor and Fashion Pins .. and maybe for some Mischievous Witch Behavior

Altered Tim Holtz Mini Distress Ink Blending Tools using APOXIE SCULPT CLAY and Tim Holtz Idea-ology products and Distress Paints

SO MUCH FUN! I used Apoxie Sculpt (rock hard when dry) and Tim Holtz' Idea-ology items and Distress Paints to transform 11 Blending Tools into something fun to sit on my desk... I'M LOVING the result. I did use a few other acrylic paints (I needed a few other colors) and Liquitex Professional Varnishes to seal the work. Hope you like them as much as I do. Please "LIKE" the video and SUBSCRIBE, makes my old lady heart happy to see someone else likes my little creations :D

Here's a few photos in case you don't have the time to look at the video.

HONEY BEE JUNK JOURNAL created using custom digitals and products from Tim Holtz, Crafter's Companion and Anna Griffin

LOVE BEES!!! I so enjoyed creating this honeybee inspired Junk Journal, is there anything more cute than a close up of a bumblebee bum ? Please like and subscribe to the YouTube video. Like many crafters,I keep promising myself I'm going to start filming more of my crafts and doing a few more tutorials. I'm inspired to create, just not to pull out the camera, but I've found this blog, FB, YT, and Instagram make a great personal "journal" of things I've made. That way when I give them away or sell them I can still see my past creations. It lets me see how far I've come in my artsy, craftsy journey. Plus, those LIKES and SUBSCRIBE and comments make us crafters feel all mushy and happy inside. It's always nice to feel like somebody saw what we made and hopefully received a touch of inspiration to create their own. Thanks for stopping by the blog and watching the video. I will attach some of the digital images I put together to use in the journal so you can print them out however you wish. I'm not savvy with digital creation so I just saved them as JPG files (like a picture). Maybe someday this "old dog" will learn "New tricks" and I'll study on how to create digital image kit. Again, thanks for visiting my blog.

CREEPY PILL BOXES using Apoxie Sculpt (altered tiny tins)

Used Apoxie Sculpt, resin, resin teeth and doll eyes, paints and waxes Oh what fun!! these are prototypes for Halloween sale items, so they need a few changes but thought I'd share the process so far

There's just something so wrong (and wonderful) about "hair" in resin ... this little mole gives me the HeebieJeebies when I touch it :D

FAUX ECODYE LEAF PRINT - 5 MINUTE TUTORIAL - GREAT FOR JUNK JOURNAL PAGES using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Sprays

I'm much too impatient to boil water and papers and stack them up and take them apart, so I made a faux version. A few crafters asked me to make a tutorial video so here it is. You could make it any colour you wanted, using any leaves you desire.

Here's the YouTube Video

Dungeons & Dragons inspired Junk Journal with Apoxie Sculpt Dragon Eye Cover

so enjoyed making this one it is a monster thick journal so the video is long, but if you open the settings in YouTube you can adjust the playback speed

Christmas Winter cards using Tim Holtz and Lavinia Stamps and Inks

(video tutorial) Creepy Rotten Mini Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns from Dollar Tree Pumpkins

so much fun taking the 3 for $1 Mini Pumpkin Clips and the $1 Foam Pumpkins from Dollar Tree and turning them into scary Halloween shelf decor. I did a tutorial (broken up into 3 parts) on YouTube (I'm a gabber so don't forget you can speed up videos in your settings if you don't want to hear me rattle on). Video 1 is the Carving and Melting, Video 2 is the Painting and Video 3 is the Teeth and Eyes.

Winter Fairy Handmade Card "Snowflake Kisses Winter Wishes" using Crafter's Companion Molly Harrison products

Realized (again) that I've been neglecting my blog in the midst of all other social media. Instead of playing "catch up" thought I'd just post a Winter Fairy card I made a bit ago using the gorgeous Poppies Of Amethys stamp set from Crafter's Companion (by artist Molly Harrison). I'm definitely not a colourists but Molly's stamps makes it easy. The tree is cut using a die designed by Sheena Douglass. A lot of UTEE and inks by Ranger and a little snowflake charm to finish it off. Hopefully my inspiration will remind me to post on the blog regularly. Hope you are all enjoying a little of winter's beauty during these trying times.
