This is our group's June Black and White Art Journal ... I had the opportunity to work on our "fearless leader's" journal this time ... Toni Federe ... Stamps are from Stampers Anonymous ... Tim Holtz ...
This month our challenge journal page was "A favorite summer memory" ... mine was a camping trip with the entire family to Pismo Beach when I was very young ... that's my sister, Janice, in the photo ... mom and dad ... and myself in mom's arms ... I spritzed color over Heidi Swapp "Ghost" letters then outlined them with Sharpie water-based paint markers ... the stamps are Stampers Anonymous and Tim Holtz ...

More fun with beading!!!!!!

Hello Artsy Friends!
I've been obsessed with beading beading beading!  I just can't get enough of beading!  Here are some of the projects I've worked on lately . . .

The first bracelet is a mixture of round seed beads, hex beads, twisted bugles, and Swarovski bicones . .

The second piece was a challenge for me . . . the beaded beads were a first for me, but I love the results . . .

The third piece is a simple yet fun use of diagonal drilled diamond shaped beads . . .

The fourth piece is totally fun!  A hummingbird necklace!  I fell in love with it the first time I saw it!

Thanks for visiting today!  Have a great week!!!
