drippy birdhouse

I was so happy with this new birdhouse. I just received my inks and was happy with the way it came out over the pyrographed feathers. I sprayed it with a sealer and went to put it in the truck and then I saw IT!!!! The sealer had dissolved some of the ink and it ran and blobbed. WAH! Now I have to sand it and fix it.

Cheap looms

This is one of the little frame looms I've been making for my weaving class. I've been trying them out as I go and actually made something on this one. Works really well. Just goes to show, if you don't have $700 for a small loom or $1500 for a floor loom, you can make your own!
I'll be putting up descriptions and pictures under the "Make your own frame loom" tab.

Miss Mousie's House

Miss Mousie's House is actually a dried pumpkin! Ramona is a whiz at drying things and she gave me this one to see what I could do....(with my fat fingers....)

A new project

 Meet Moss!
He is my new project. He doesn't live with me, but is technically mine. It was a sort-of, almost rescue situation. He's a sweetie and very smart. And, yes, he is a Border collie.

Undergoing another change

I know the name change will be confusing. It's just that I've changed blogs so many times and I don't want to change again. I just have to come up with a way to change names without actually changing anything....uh....

First Hooking project

This is my very first hooking wall hanging from an old photo of my Sheltie, JoJo. I used yarn instead of wool strips because that's what I had and found out it's an acceptable material. I did use the wrong backing which made it more difficult to hook, but it did work. Next time - monk's cloth! I'd change a few things, but overall, I'm pleased with the results. The next one will be a picture of Sarah.

Birdhouse

This is the gourd birdhouse that I made last week and sold on Saturday. I burned in the outline then colored with colored pencil and buffed like mad! Then 4 coats of varnish.
