My Fall "Mantel"

Well, in our little house we don't have a fireplace. 

So I don't really have a mantel. 

But I was still inspired by all those awesome blog posts about fall mantel pieces. 

I haven't really done much. 

And I haven't spent much time on it but I figured i would share the little bit of fall decorating that  I have attempted :) 

These are just some craft pumpkins that I got from Michaels at like 40% off!! 

I'm sorry I didn't take any before pictures. 

Or process pictures. 

But basically I just used a black paint pen and went to town!

Just thought it was a good verse for fall :) 

Of course!

Go Tigers!!

Finally 

"Home Sweet Home!" 

These are the types of crafts I love.
So simple but so fun.

I need to make more time for these type of projects!! 

I linked up this post with

PS> My picture quality has gotten a little better. (I think anyway).

I just got a Nikon D5100! 

I'm still figuring out how it works and all the settings but I am having a BLAST figuring it all out!

Hopefully sometime in the near future you will be looking at a little better documentation :) 

Clemson Scarf!

Late last night I decided to try another project with my Tee Juice markers. 

They are totally awesome and I am SO glad I got a crazy deal on Amazon :)

Yall will be seeing a lot of them from now on!!

First, I have made scarves before and I actually just completed one for an Etsy customer

 when my markers came in. 

I messed around with my markers but was going to wait until I got an order to make another scarf. 

Then I went to work and sold so many scarves that I decided I just needed to get it out there and hopefully someone would fall in love with it. 

And if not I'm wearing it to football games :)

Here are some pictures

I wanted to do something that was related to football & going back to school,

so I took the lyrics from my Alma mater (Clemson University). 

"Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness,
Where the Tigers play,
Here the sons of dear old Clemson
Reign supreme alway."

 

The pictures aren't very good at all. 

But they are the best I could do at home alone with an old point and shoot.

I'm still trying to get funds to buy a DSLR... 

Anyway I love the way the scarf turned out, as much as I would love someone to purchase it 

I would be sad to see it go! 

PS I linked this post to the Uncommonly Yours LInk Party

Lets Get Started!

So I just want to warn everyone, I am NEW to blogging and don't really know what to say or how to say it. So please excuse me if this first post is a little rough :) 


Basically, what I want this blog to accomplish is to put my art out in to the world. I enjoy creating. I have a flare for fine arts, crafts, interior design and fashion. So, this blog maybe a little random at times. 


This summer has been a real learning experience for me. I have started to sell art work to family and friends and have been working with an interior designer who has also commissioned art work for clients. I want to share my projects with you as I do them and a blog seemed the best way to share my work with everyone around me. 


Without further adieu, here is a sampling of my work!! 

"Fruta Ducle" Watercolor -2009 

"Dinoplasti" Charcoal -2010

These next pieces of art are done on tin from the old Smith barn in Pontiac. These pieces have been selling like candy! If you are interested in any of the ones posted, or have an idea of your own please contact me so we can work something out! 

Alrighty everyone! I hope you enjoyed the first post on my blog!! Tomorrow I will be posting more of the tins that I have sold in the past month so keep your eye out!
