WildWomen Stitched Art Brooches

Wild Woman Brooaches ... If, you love pin dolls ... and love to make them...This new paperback from Sarah Lawrence. Is a cute, cute new addition to inspiration.
I happen to be a member of Pin Doll Alley hosted by Connie, although I am ashamed to say not active in the the last months. But, I have given and got a delightful array of creative items.
Several years ago I participated in a swap of 100 people! I made little lamb pins ...I thought I was lambed out! But, the reward when I opened the package from Australia! That was around 6 years ago...I will have to dig out my box of pins from
all the years of loving pin dolls.
Also, as you can see, My Wishblad is alive and well still...I bet I have gone through a rem of black card stock....but, Have no fear.....I ordered speciality card stock from the Internet and awaiting its arrival...A felt, A metallic and a Parchment....
As always,
May you walk in the moon light till the wind sets you free.

Introducing "Shuugah! from Woodstock Georgia!

This here is "Shuugah!"...she is from Woodstock, Georgia. and.
Miss. Shuggah here will be teaching me the gentle women's Art of the Southern Language.
This beautiful hand painted One of a Kind Painted face came to me through the post for my birthday. And it came from Miss.JoEllen of Huskey Designs. You can find more delightful
bold faces for sale on her web sit.....

Miss. Shuugah was my first southern word, My Mike is also from Dalton,Georgia and it has taken me more then 20 years to

get him to speak faster and to give up the "Shuugah's" of the south, He knew how to say Sugar ... the southern way! Brought back memories! lol

Now, today in an e:mail Miss Joellen has given me my second word to learn...ready for this?

"Daaahlin" .... Mike is stumped with this one...Me too! but I am working on it!

JoEllen and i have never meet nor spoken on the telephone, but I bet if I was to run across her in an airport I would know her! It has been 7 years in learning from this lively personality

in Woodstock, Georgia. I am extremely fond of her and her talent and encouragement.

Even thought she is older than I am (big fat lie)....I adore her,

As you can see, Miss. Shuugah is adorned with a felt die cut that

I have been playing with....This lady will be placed into a Puffy Stuff Tea Cozy, as she is special and will not be sold. I will leave it to JoEllen in my will.

Lets hope that it is a long time in coming!

So, Daahlin's .....as always

Silvery Moonbeams to watch over you and yours.

From Torn Paper to Die Cuts!

Torn Paper edges to Beautiful Swirls ...Frames...If You can wish it I can Create it and Cut it! This is the advertisement for my new die cutter machine. I saw some of these swirls first in Stampers on line ...by the yard and in felt. I thought...hum..nifty! Then, I saw them in a Journeying Store!
Neat!!! I had to have one! And three days later there I was cutting everything in site!

Easy as pie, anything, .... any design that you can draw, capture or digitize...is your for the cuttings. I believe they are called die cuts!
As you can see, I can make them in any color paper, size from 8 1/2 to 39 inches....Over a yard, I have been having lots of luck with my Walnut inks and old papers. I also have not given up on the embroidery covers in embroidery.

I have reopened my shop on Esty. I will give the call Addi when I have actually posted items for your delight. If, You want a certain die cut in a certain size, keep it to your self! lol

Items that are tested and not used In the journals will be sold..come what may...Like the items that are shown ...want the daisy? The butterfly? or the frame. Just e:mail all are $1.50 plus .65 for postage. I will be playing with more intense colors soon as I can hobble to get colored and textured card stock.

Oh! Hobble, yep, fell running across the street! This time it is my knee cap that looks like a fat balloon...also my other hand hurts....I am falling apart here. But, as long as I can turn on my computer there is always items to do.

I am working on a series of Ladies from Alphonse Mucha ...journals and such. Will post when finished.

As always,,

Silvery Moonbeams to watch over you,
