It seems like I have been doing the same old thing forever, although I am sure given my propensity to change things up that can't possibly be true! I have noticed that this fall I have really given some time and thought to new directions. I am not just sitting still and making cards anymore.
I have added new dimensions to my dominoes, mixing colors like I never was brave enough to do before...
I came up with an original idea--although I did borrow the ribbons on the clip idea from someone else...
I started using more stamps and punches on the cards I make--and of course the addition of those lovely crocheted flowers...
I have started helping Ornery with his wood crafting. He makes all the cuts and I do the finishing. Here is a set of baskets he made...
Folded books, faux mercury glass, alcohol inks blown on glass--all new arenas for me!
I have even started working with fabric again! It has been years since I was interested in it, but lately I am starting to amass a stash--although it doesn't come close to rivaling my paper stash for size!
I made these little tags for my daughter's entry into the cookie exchange I am hosting in December. (She is making a cherry shortbread cookie) While this isn't really a new thing--it is different from any I have made before. Each project has been a learning experience.
I am in the process of painting a garage sale table with a real picture on the top. I have procrastinated on it because I am afraid it won't look good, but I am slowly working my way up to the top, at which time I will have no choice but to just do it!
Tastes and styles change over time, and I seem to have had quite a bit of change in my life this year!
