The rest of the Raggedy ATCs

Raggedy ATC's

I belong to an on-line group that is dedicated to Raggedy Anns and Andys. We have been doing ATCs for about a year. Thought you might want to see a rather concentrated output of that group. Some are mine, but most are ones I've received.

Clock

I love clocks, pictures of clocks, and all things associated with clocks. Thought I would put a clock in a cigar box. I got the idea from a magazine, Sommerset Studio.

ME Closet

I just love paperdolls and especiallys Mary Englebreit's dolls. Thought I would use an idea I found on Stampington.com website and build my own closet of ME paperdolls. Still need to put a mirror above the vanity, but can't find my small frames yet. They seem to be hiding in a safe spot.

Style of Painting

Thought I would share some of my favorite oil paintings that I've completed in the last couple of years.

Hearts and butterflys

I was lucky enough to find these great boxes at a yard sale and I had the wooded heart (also a yard sale find) and originally was going to be a bee mounted on it, but that didn't really do anything for me. Now, the butterfly did the trick. They blended in with the blue from the old maps and it was a good use for some old butterfly jewely. Big wooded balls for feet and a glass knob for a top piece.

Happy Valentine's Day

Recently I had to take a centerpiece for my sorority coffee, I decided early on it would be stitched hearts. I figured they would be finished and using dowels to make stems on the hearts, I would just get a fern or something to place them in an upright position. I told my sister-in-law Linda what I was doing and before I could figure it out totally, she made hearts and used a cheese shaker to put her hearts on display. Whalla ! what a great idea. They look like all day suckers in a display case. Materials are all card stock or scrapbook paper. Shaker is wrapped in scrapbook paper with an appropriate ribbon. Lots of possibilities for all holidays.
