Unapologetic Selfies & Some African DIY Style!

Everybody who knows me know that I am a craft junkie.  If I go more than a week without creating something I get the shakes, involuntary twitches, and spasms.   Basically,  my body began to experience craft withdrawals.

Yes, seriously I need help.

So this week, I give you my African inspired earrings. They are my latest creation and my precioussss.....(In my best Smeagol voice from Lord of the Rings)

   I don't have a name for them just yet but they are available on my etsy shop, Beautyandthegreen.etsy.com.

If you have any ideas for what I should call them help a sista out! 

Cherio!

Craft Of The Week

All A'bloom

 When I started this blog, my intention was to post craft projects weekly.  Somehow though, mostly due to my work schedule, these postings became farther and farther apart.  I am not happy about.  At all.  And so, this post will be the first of "creation/craft of the week" which will be whatever I created for the week.  I am looking forward to learning new techniques and crafts....good, bad or ugly, I will be sharing it so stay tuned.


 Here are a few pieces I painted this week.

You Are Not Alone

As For Me And My House

These are all mix media pieces (acrylics and pastels on heavy weight paper) and I had so much fun playing with the colors.  Next time though, I will use a new medium or technique to ensure that I am challenging myself and learning something new every week.  Sounds like a plan?  I think so......let's do this!  


Cherio!
