Christmas in July
Shooting good pictures of my work is a challenge. I've thought about taking a photography class, but jut don't have time. I have a photographer coming next week, so I'm busy getting things together, including some seasonal pieces. I just love the Christmas mosaics!
Going to shoot some switch plates, too.

I Heart Punk Rock Boys
I've finally had time to work on some mosaics.
I featured pics of this box on the previous post, but here are some close-ups of the final product. I found the "I heart punk rock boys" pin at the Arizona Trading Company on Westport Road in KC - a very cool store.
I found some of the fun buttons at a flea market in Paola, KS on a recent shopping trip with Dawn.
And some came from the Jessie James Antique Mall. Like I said in the last post, I was going for smoking jacket cool here and I think Marilyn and the black and white color scheme got me what I wanted. Lori - I can't wait to hear what Ben thinks of his box!!!
I haven't done a cupcake in awhile. I've probably done a total of five or six and although they're big sellers at Stuff, they're time consuming and expensive to make because I haven't yet perfected a way to do the base. This one is cherry chocolate.
I finished a couple of single switch plates and the other one didn't photograph well, so I'll include that on another post. For now, here's the one with the domino. I don't have anything else started right now, but next on my list are a couple of chalkboards and a picture frame with a super cute clown figurine I got at Urban Mining a few weeks ago. Stay tuned!!!

Latest Mosaic Madness
I haven't been working as hard on the mosaics as I usually do, but I did manage to put together a few things this week.
I got the Ma and Pa salt and pepper shakers last weekend at the River Market Antique Mall and I couldn't wait to put them into something. I thought a black and white picture frame would be the perfect place.
Ma looks like she could have used some sunscreen in her youth.
Pa forgot his dentures. I do a lot of antique mall and thrift store shopping and I've never seen anything quite like Ma and Pa.
I got the letter opener several weeks ago at the Mission Road Antique Mall.
A vintage pattern finishes off the back.
I made this little magnet for the annual Chick Bingo Night at Laura's. I think I've been for the last seven years and I would not miss it!
I squeezed in a few switch plates, of course. I'm not sure these bright colors will induce sleep as the switch plate suggests.
I love this "G" and was anxious to use it.
Look closely at this one and you'll see some tiny chef beads.
Not much in my house is orange and turquoise, but I love the color combination.
You cannot have enough dice, if you ask me.
I used some plastic vintage farm animals in a switch plate I did for my friend, Barbara, lately, and I used them again here for this double plate. The switch plates were delivered to Stuff (www.pursuegoodstuff.com) earlier this week and the frame just may find it's way onto Etsy soon.
