Hi there, Stephanie here!   Today I have for you the completed phase 2 of my preparing for Valentine's Day project.  It is a cute little tabletop lamp that I created using the  wire assemblage form,  beautiful papers and sweet collage images from Alteredpages.com .  Add a battery operated pillar candle and poof you have a safer & better than average candle for your romantic table or anywhere really.   Phase 1 of this was the Valentine's Day card I made a couple weeks ago, which you can see below and the link to that post can be found  here.        This sweet little lamp will be center stage in my table scape for Valentine's Day dinner.  After that I have a feeling my daughter will be stealing it for her pink and black themed bedroom.  ;-) I started this by wiring all of the corners of the assemblage form.     Next, I set that aside and began creating ...

Howdy Folks from cool and damp Arizona! It has been glorious in Phoenix and we are loving it! The down side is the pool isn't as warm as it could be by now, so swimming will get a late start.  The up side, the windows are all open and the breezes are fabulous.  It is usually in the high 90's to low 100's by now, today is 65 degrees!!   As promised, the Winner from our Mother's Day Linkup Blog Party is... Patricia Weber!    CONGRATS   I am sharing a fun little MD Hobby & Craft metal mesh project for you today. Spring Sprouts I started by painting a large wooden spool with Terri Sproul Mica Mixers and then added green glitter (for Spring) I took my MD Hobby & Craft silver mesh and folded the raw edges over a ruler twice to make them snag free. It molds so easily. I then used AlteredPages Collage 1785 Bottle Cap Florals and punched the images with a circle punch. They were uniform in size to create front ...

This week was a catch up week from the flurry of activity with CHA and  the Art Unraveled Art Retreat  of the last couple weeks.     Saturday was a welcomed day off and we spent it with very good friends visiting some of the Arizona wine country.  Yes we do have one!   The higher elevations provide great land for vineyards.   While it is 109 degrees in Phoenix, we dined outside in balmy breezes and cloud  filled sunny skies. See wine collages by clicking here Inspiration for art came from the scenic landscapes and architecture.   We learned allot of history too. Where else can you see movies at a theater like this one?   Look close and see modern technology in the background! We went to the Oldest Store in Arizona, opened in late 1800's and still selling!   The Wilcox Commercial Store is where Geronimo would come from the Chiricahua Mountains to get food and provisions.      Johnny Ringo stan...
