Flip-Floppin

Hi! This is a painting I have done recently. I decided I would try doing a Vera Bradley print on the flip flops....I sketched the flip flops first then I used acrylic paint to fill everything in. And after I finished I went over some of it with Sharpie. It helps things pop. Hope everyone is enjoying some warm weather!

Jewelry Galore

Hi! Now that I am done with school, I can post more! Yay! I made these bracelets at my cousins house (they have tons of glass beads) and I also made the earrings. I will probably give them as gifts or something... What do you think?

Some accessorizing...

Ya so I am REALLY into accessorizing now thats it's warm out here. (don't ask why) But some of my favs are Vera Bradley, lace,and big necklaces and bracelets. And since thats not really crafty, i will do a step by step on the necklace hanger.... But first the pics...

Vera Bradley Frannie purse in Provencal

Ya i know i look like a piece of crap, i've been sick so whatever...So, for the board, you first buy a piece of cork board (whatever size you want or need). You then pick out a fabric of any density really then cover it... i found super glue does NOT work ( as usual...:( ) So I used staples and some fabric glue. Then hang it up following any instructions on cork board wrapper if given. I recommend using push pins to hang the jewelry,if it is a heavier necklace you might want to use two pins on that one. I highly recommend making this! It is a cheap way to get your jewelry organized! GOOD LUCK!

A Silky Spring

Hi! Yes its been awhile, i havent exactly been keeping up on the once a week thing have I? I'll post a couple today to make up for it. Anywho.... these are a few of the silk paintings I've done. They are super pretty and the scarfs can be made for any season depending on the color! Isn't that awesome?! My personal fav is spring because the colors are light and bright!!!! But ya they are super fun to dye and they can have a purpose! Yay for silk and spring!

SORRY but I'm baaaack!

HI! Sorry its been FOREVER! but i have been so busy with school and everything so I'm really sorry! ANYWAY.... I will try to post more again.... we will see... Haha. This is a converse shoe i made out of sculpey. A cool hint with this clay is....Once you cook it and everything, paint it with clear nail polish and it will look like plastic! Well that my tip for today! Check back soon!

Bottlecap Jewelry

This is some bottle cap jewelry that I have made over the course of a few years. You have probably made some at some point also. Almost all of them came in little kits. They are really easy, really fun, and really simple! Three reallys! That has got to be a good thing!

Craving Cupcakes...

Today I am "modeling" a pair of cupcake earrings that I have made out of Sculpey III. I have done several Sculpey III posts already, but the earrings are just so cute. I am really into jewelry that is shaped like food right now. :) Credits to Style Walrus on the first pic... I am rocking one of her poses!

Paisley Blues

This is a "masterpiece" that I have "created in the past few days. And I added the follower box so please follow! Have a great day! Love,

Lydia!

I'm Back!

I just had the best week of my life in New Orleans with all of my church friends at Challenge 2012! Also, if you love Christian Contemporary music, check out the Kristian Stanfill band on iTunes. They are the band that did the worship there. ANYWAY..... Check out this bracelet I got that is handmade by a Haitian woman and most of the proceeds went to Haiti! So awesome!

Potholder Keychain????

HI! The first video cut off so watch the second one to learn how to finish the keychain. This will be my last post for the week because I will be in New Orleans with my youth group. See you soon.

Perfect Pottery!

HI! This is the first letter of my name that i have painted at a pottery place and they cooked it! The place is called Dish it Out. I don't know if you've ever heard of it or if it is a chain operation or not, but it is so fun to go and paint stuff there!

See...It's all about me!

This is an all about me drawing! i drew a heart with my name squished inside and drew things that describe me around it. Ex: Piano,Horses,Straight A's and etc. Hope everyone is having a great summer! I know I am! Happy Drawing and Get Creative!

Excellence in Engraving!

This is something called Engraving Art and you can get them a Michaels and probably A.C Moore. You just scratch off the marked areas with a tool that is given to you in the kit. Pretty simple yet fun!

Picture Perfect

Sorry for being a bit spontaneous with posts lately! I have been busy with swim team and babysitting! This is a picture of me and Style Walrus(www.walruswonderland.blogspot.com) at a swim meet 4 years ago that I have framed and decorated! We are totally rocking the swim caps right Mags?!?!?:)

Sandy Supplementing!

This is a sand painting that I made! I used Elmers glue to "draw" the designs and then I sprinkled green and blue colored sand on top of it then shook off the excess into the bucket or trash. Really fun and easy thing to do!

Watercolor Wonderland!

I love this Watercolor book! The colors are so vibrant! Here are some samples... My cousin and I were just diddling around to try it out. It tells you what to do on each page! LOOOOVVVEEE IIIIITTTT!!!!

Summer Fun

These are little flip-flops I have made out of Bendaroos! So cute! Try to do it with just looking. That is a good skill to have.

TOMS

Hello! For all of you who don't know what TOMS are, they are a really cute shoe! I have 3 pairs, and someone gave me a cool idea. To buy a plain white pair, and decorate them yourself! You would have to get real creative to cover all of the space! Up for the challenge?

Wordle

Does anyone know about Wordle.net? it is so cool! You just enter in a bunch of text and it randomizes it! I made this one for my Dad that i will give to him on Fathers Day.

Hummingbird!

This is a drawing of a hummingbird drawn be my friend Marissa. Sometimes she blends colors to color them. it looks awesome when she does that!
