1.7.11 canvas stuffy star

what fun to take a piece of canvas and paint the hell out of it with washes and markings and then cut a star shape, sew, stuff, paint a face on it and some applicable phrases...now what can I do with it?? besides post it here, of course...

1.6.11 star me diagram

I used to symbol of star to guide me as I diagrammed who I am..all the facets and what shoots out of them...something like that.

1.5.11 more earrings

I didn't make these origami stars..was taught to make them by teenage boy at my work but have forgot and am looking for someone to teach me (hint hint) These stars were made with my friend, Teri Martin's paper and were so small and delicate, I had to make earrings with them.

1.4.11 stitched mesh

Walking through the dollar store, I wondered..what artsy thing could I do with wire mesh strainers? I know...cut the handles off, stitch stars on each one using ribbon, sparkly thread and beads and then connect them to make a ball, tie on some ribbon and wahlah! a fancy star ball!

1.3.11 felt pocket

I plan to put ideas into this little pocket I felted with stars and "Shine"

1.2.11 wire wrapping?

ok, so I have yet to master the wrapping of the wire but had to make earrings with these little starfish I found at Hobby Lobby. As sexy as they are..must not wear while making out..way too fragile.

let the uploading begin!

As with most good intentions, there are glitches. My glitch with daily stars was a flat tire, a disk reader not working and working overtime all weekend.
But, I'm all together and catching up today.

I may be cheating to put a star I made before 1/1/11 but I am a rule breaker so enjoy the ceramic star I also cheated on..no glaze firing for me. Ugh..I hate bloppy messes in my kiln and the surprise of the glaze color is no bueno for this immediate satisfaction girl. I used leather tools and stamps to make marks on my freestyle star, bisque fired and painted with random glowy acrylics.
