Cowboy Skully is here!

I am trying my hands at sculpting. I love all of the cool little art dolls I see all over and really wanted to give it a go to try and create my own little character. And so I kneaded the clay (I used Sculpey) and rolled it into a working ball of clay and started to pinch, mold, and sculpt and before I knew it Cowboy Skully was here! I have already started to create more... just need to stick them in the oven next. Sculpey is a great clay to use because it  is so easy. You mold your creation and then stick it in the oven for 15 minutes and Voila! Its done ready to paint or piece together.

Now my cowboy needs a paint job, so that is my fun project for today!

Crafty little Gloves

I crafted up some hip little gloves for my crafting projects. My hands always are so cold, and yet I wasn't going to wear full on gloves because my fingers wouldn't be free to create. That would be just plain silly! Therefore I improvised and thought why not snip off the fingers of some cheapo gloves (you can purchase these cheapies for as little as 50cents to $1.50). We have all seen fingerless gloves before, they come in all shapes, sizes, and different thickness. But these are my special gloves since I embellished them with embroidery threads and tiny jewels, buttons and a little bit of lace!
I absolutely love them and want to make more for friends and family... I know I am not the only crafty lady out there with cold hands!
