Twenty minute Simple Skirt Tutorial AND GIVEAWAY!!!!

Contemporary Embroidery

“the prick who came to dinner”

he was a guest

Dog-ma-tic

made him erratic

as his rants & lectures raged

Unleashed

not bound to his dunghill

the cock crowed

the audience woke up from their stained dinner

departed

&

once again

he was left alone

to wallow in his own shit

of

ignorant ideology

Tea stained muslin, black floss, satin stitch, couching stitch, custom frame

Fused Plastic Grocery Bags - Necklace

Multi use Fused plastic Necklace
Originally uploaded by Cynthia Del Giudice

Fused plastic grocery bags turned into beautiful delicate flowerlike shapes and combined with cultured pearls and sterling silver make this elegant necklace.

This necklace is a custom order for a bride-to-be. She wanted a necklace she could also wear after the wedding as a casual accessory. She said she liked the handmade organic links, but also loved my fused plastic pieces, and thought pearls were a nice touch for a bride.

With all this information I started drawing ideas, and decided to make a multi-function necklace with the option of taking the fused plastic pieces if desired. This necklace may be worn long, double as a choker, with the fused plastic pieces, without them, and the extension chain can even be worn as a bracelet with the plastic pieces.

Opa & Oma

My partner and son went south today to visit the Grandparents.

The last time we visited was a few weeks ago when it was Grandpa's Birthday.
Here is a light-shade that my four year old drew as a present for "Opa's" Birthday.
Opa still plays tennis regularly

Designer Frühling

Had a good day at "Designer Früling" on Saturday.
It was my first attempt a a craft show and building up to it was rather stressful.
the day ended with more sales than I expected so it was worth all that hair loss after all!
