I've been working...and working...& did I say...working?

I'm developing a new series here ... yes, a series:  a number of related or similar objects

"Aria":  an elaborate melody sung solo with accompaniment, as in an opera or oratorio

I say..."yes, a series:  a number of related or similar objects" because I think I may...did I say MAY?....ok...I definitely have commitment issues...

"Eclipse":  a reduction or loss of spender, status reputation

However....this new series of mine which I call "Wallflowers"  is so exhilarating to me....

"Ebullience":  high spirits; exhilaration; exuberance

that it doesn't feel like a commitment at all....rather, a pleasure...a study...an experiment...

"Luminous":  radiating or reflecting light; shining; bright

I am looking forward to sharing more....

"Surrender":  to give (oneself) up to some influence, source, emotion

and reading your comments on this journey....

"Wanderlust":  a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about

Inspired By Violet

Who doesn't love the color violet...?

It's been described as majestic....royal....regal...

Me...?  I haven't always been a violet lover, but am fast becoming one...

I LOVE that huge POP of vibrancy from violet....the blue hues compliment my landscaping...

And I got inspired with DYES...

I dyed Canvas...then stenciled..added details like the fabric flower....

Yummy rivets!

A black glossy bamboo handle....and voila!

More from yesterday's post about this piece I made at Art Unraveled taught by the amazing Jen Cushman......

Easy peasy open backed bezel made with paper, a charm and Ice Resin mixed with glitter...

Don't know if you can see the bubble?
Can easily fix it by drilling into it with a dremel tool, then refilling with resin...If I wanna...

I made the bail too....
"annealed" metal with a torch, formed it around a dowel, drilled with a dremel....
(I'm no longer a torch/dremel virgin = tool shopping later  Thanks to JEN!)

We made "resin paper" with the Ice Resin - then rolled into beads for our necklaces......

We made all of our headpins, connections and Jen shared her coveted rosary bead purchase with the class too....
She's the BEST!

The other side of the bezel....
My text did not get completed immersed....

But no worries....
Just add more Ice Resin!

I'll be busy "resinating" with some of that great paper my husband brought back from Taiwan 

(soon to be included in my Collage Candy Kits), 

and bought Jen's book for quick reference you can find here along with her teaching schedule and lots more info on this technique too....

In the meantime, have fun exploring other Wednesday workdesks around the world hosted by Julia at The Stamping Ground and tomorrow I'll post about the class I took with Mary Beth Shaw:)

WOYWW 87?

87 I think???  I've lost track of the  WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday) week, however, if you feel obliged to confirm it's week 87 or would like to check out workdesks around the world, go HERE to Ms. Julia's link who hosts this snoop party every Wednesday.

On my desk this week is another work in progress.  I seem to have a "queen" theme going these days.  If you can't tell from the size of the pic, she's the "Cupcake Queen" balancing glitter, a glittery cupcake, a glittery crown, etc, completely oblivious to the messiness surrounding her....reminds me of someone I know.

Just a reminder from yesterday's post...S A L E...Check it out HERE for shop and coupon code info!

Happy WOYWW!
