Hand Felted Soap and Bling
I won a couple of bids on two very cool items for the Treatboxes for the Troops Auction, and they arrived Saturday. They are both created by artbylisak on etsy. First, is the keychain bling that I thought was really pretty and it's even prettier in person. I have it on my purse and I love it!
I also bought this heavenly Lilac scented hand felted soap. It came in this cute little package, and the wool it is felted in has anti-fungal properties so no worries there. Then when I opened the package, oh my, it was like standing in the middle of a bunch of lilac bushes and I love that smell! I've used the soap a few times now and I love it and I feel quite pampered when using it. It took a little bit more time to get it to lather up for the first time, but that does make sense since it is encased in the felt. It fits in my hand perfectly and you use it like a wash rag. It smells wonderful and it's not slippery and doesn't slip out of your hand like regular bars of soap do. So this spring I get to enjoy the scent of lilacs for longer than the usual two weeks.
So I highly recommend you stoping by artbylisak's etsy shop and check lisa's handmade soaps out yourself. They come in all kinds of wonderful scents, some are felted, and some aren't. Here's a few more that Lisa has in her shop. They are so pretty!

Featuring fireflyglassdesign on Etsy
I would like to share with you a seller I found on etsy today whose pendants I am drooling over. Her name is Judy, she's from Arizona and her shop's name is fireflyglassdesign. Pretty cool shop name.
Judy owned a marriage and family counseling practice for 15 years when she discovered glass. Glass has become her passion and she's been designing fused glass jewelry for about 7 years now.
This is from her profile about how she creates her gorgeous pendants, " To create my jewelry, I cut glass into small pieces, often layer as many as 20-25 pieces on a background glass, fire it to 1500 degrees, cool it very slowly, smooth and shape it using a grinder and often fuse it at least one more time.
It is a lengthy process, but the result is dazzling. Dichroic Glass has a transmitted color and a reflected color which gives it a magical quality. Because of this it is difficult to photograph, but I try to get the most representative photos that I can"

I think it sounds fascinating and it would be so much fun to watch her create these magnificent pieces.
Oh, if my daughter happens to read this, Mother's Day is coming darling. What a fabulous gift it would make for Mother's Day. Maybe you should think about it too.
I am so glad I could share Judy's work with you, and hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have. Have a wonderful day!

White Breasted Nuthatch aceo
Today Michael's had a 50% off on all Prismacolor products, so I picked up a bunch of new colors that I didn't have and a box of their Verithin colored pencils. The Prismacolor Verithin is a hard thin lead that's great for outlining, detailing, lettering and cleaning up edges. Ya, I got that from the back of the box. Oh, I also bought a pad of Bristol paper and am excited to try it out.
Well, that's it for now. Have a great day!

My Two Cardinal ACEO's
This week I've been busy doing artwork everyday. I am having a lot of fun with my Prismacolor colored pencils. So, here are two of my creations. The first is Mr. Cardinal aceo, created on the back side of mat board. If interested, he is listed in my etsy shop, just click on the link above.
Here is Little Miss Cardinal aceo. She is Mr. Cardinal's fiance. lol I created her the day after I created him to complete the set. She is also colored pencil and is created on tan mat board. I really like the mat board support. It has good tooth for taking many, many, many layers and I also like how sturdy it is.
If interested in Little Miss Cardinal, please click on the link above, it will bring you to my etsy shop.
More to come.
Have a fantastic day,
hugs, Brenda

***This past weekend I was looking around YouTube on colored pencil tutorials, I am always wanting to learn as much as I possibly can. I came across this young artist named Jacqueline Pettie, and she's a wonderful colored pencil artist. She even has her own YouTube Cannel. I am very impressed by her talent and dedication to her artwork. This little lady is going places, that's for sure.
Well, that's it for now.
Have a great day,
