Annabelle- My version of cute!

Meet Annabelle! Annabelle decided she wanted to be a snow angel, so she made herself some wings out of paper. What better paper to use for angel wings than the pages of Momma's bible?! She even used her special glitter on them! She was so proud of the way they turned out. Oh wait maybe she should be a Valentine Day fairy? No worries her special wings still worked as a fairy. Only now Annabelle is a little worried, Momma has just discovered the cut out pages of her "book". Do you think Momma will love the wings as much as Annabelle?

I had a ton of fun creating Annabelle! I didn't use any steampunk parts this time and did a little cuter version than I normally do just for fun! I created her wings out of a vintage bible page, resin, and German glass glitter and copper wire. Annabelle is hand sculpted out of paper clay over an armature. Her "dress" is scrapbook paper and I added vintage lace around the bottom and the sleeves. Her bow is also vintage lace. The block is a child's alphabet block I purchased a long time ago at an antique store.

I'm going to list Annabelle on Ebay and see how that goes ;o) Let me know what you all think of her :O)) xo Michele

Ebay & Etsy Updates!

I have an angel that I just added to ETSY

The little paris earring sold out of there this morning...thank you L!
I also have 2 new pendants to add to EBAY tonight. A fairy Heart, and a Butterfly Queen:


Okay I'm off to try and catch up on some things...ha ha right!!! xo Michele

Well I've discovered from Luthien that I really need to go see Startrek if it's still here in theaters this weekend! Sheesh! I really wanted to go see it when it came out but no hubby and the little man talked me into seeing Wolverine. Which was okay but I would have rather seen Startrek. I was so addicted to the Next Generation back in the day lol. So since I can't do much more than hobble we will probably go to dinner and to a movie for our date night this weekend ;o) I'm really itching to go to some antique malls, flea markets, etc...so this foot had better heal soon! Oh and the pool!!! Today it didn't rain for ONCE and it's so hot and humid...perfect pool day!! Sigh. I've decided that we are going Friday if it doesn't rain. I can lay in a chair and read lol.

Okay so now for the artsy fartsy stuff. Big surprise, 2 new pendants lol. Love the fairy one....when I saw the metal base with what looks like vines wrapped all around it I thought it looked like perfect fairy-ness! The secret garden one was inspired by the little metal heart with the words secret garden stamped in it. I've had the tiny vintage crystal lock pin for some time, just waiting for the perfect place to put it. I love it with the secret garden theme! Both go on ebay tonight...same bat time, same bat channel (okay I'm dating myself now...that is from Batman when it was on tv when I was a kid after school). 8 pm central time! click here for the auctions and to see a lot more pics: EBAY


Have a great night everyone! I'm off to make dinner on one foot....you should try it some time LOL! xo Michele

Steampunk

The air has finally turned chilly and the wind and rain are tearing the beautifully colored leaves from the trees, creating giant mounts of color on the grass. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not ready for winter! The older I get the more I do not like the cold! No wonder so many retirees move to Florida! I'm there with them!!

I've added some new items to ebay, they are steampunk inspired. As most of you know I love mixed media and steampunk fits right into that! Steampunk is a term used to describe a very trendy and fun style, you can find it on everything from clothes to of course jewelry. It's kinda a mish-mash of victorian meets inventor, industrial, and time travel. Very cool items!

This little steam punk angel started with a face that I painted on glass, she is painted with the same paints I do my full glass pendants with. She's painted and then allowed to cure 24 hours and then low fired again. Each little face is different! The watch parts you see are from a vintage Elgins watch, you can still see 4 of the rubbies if you look close. She has tiny crystals on her halo, and on the bottom of her. Part of the background is filigree that is backed with metal that was cut to fit her. I engraved my name on the back. Also you will notice that she is both a pendant and a brooch, I attached a pin back so you have a choice of how to wear her. She would be stunning with any outfit, I've added a simple silver colored chain (18") or you can replace it with your own. She would also look awesome on a jacket, just remove the chain!

I'm going to try a few on ebay and on etsy to see where they sell the best. Oh and speaking of selling, I've decided to raise the price of my glass pendants on ebay to 24.99. I've wrestled with this for quite some time and it's just time. I want everyone who wants one to be able to afford them but at the same time I have to pay the bills lol. So I think 24.99 fits for both of those ;o) Hope you enjoy the steampunk angel! I'd love to hear what you all think! She's on ebay along with her fairy friend! http://stores.ebay.com/Michele-Lynch-Art
