BJ'S PHOTOS

Some of my favorite photos taken throughout the years that generally need no explanation, but feel free to ask if you need one. :)

My Hubby

This is Mr. Beau Jangles "Beau", My 90 year old, mom's beloved Pug, who we all adore. This photo won the Current Magazines animal photo in "Birthday Cards"and will be among others in a card pack in the fall. Special thanks to my sister who helped with the hat and prepping him for his debut photo.

The front of the card will read "Kick Up Your Heels"...Inside, "It's your birthday!"

This is a photo that won a blue ribbon & the "Edna Hill Award" (over-all best photo) at our local Franklin County Fair. I enjoy my flowers so much and wa sso happy this one took the prize! 

This photo is very special to me of my brother, Ron, who passed away a few years ago. Although it isn't the best quality, sometimes it's the message a photo gives that's most important. This one reminds me of my bro very much as he loved to cook and share his special treats. We were picnicking during the forth of July and this is his masterpiece! I love and miss you so, Ronnie!!!

 

Our beloved cat, Ladi Di

 

Beloved Sam

 

Hubby's a great story-Teller

An old photo that makes me melancholy

GREETING CARDS USING COPIES OF WATERCOLOR ART

The following cards are some spring and summer designs I've been working on for greeting cards. I paint the original watercolor, scan it, and make blank and occasion cards.

SUMMER DESIGNS~2012

I've been experimenting with different yarns and colored wires and am going to attempt a bracelet next out of the trellis yarn and beads..Will be posting depending how they turn out.
I'm also going to make some baby barrettes for my soon-to-be granddaughter...Stay tuned..There's never a dull moment when I get in my artsy mood.


This is a design I decided to try using only one crocheted wire strand and incorporating larger beads for a delicate yet modern look.


A triple wired crocheted necklace using various blue beads and black wire with matching earrings..



Aqua Bead & Earring Wire crocheted set.



An Owl,a key & a telephone are three of the six intricate charms having from an oval circle on this leather necklace. Simple and fun to wear with a casual top.


Found some more lovely colored Lattice yarn to work with...Here are three:



Every color of the rainbow! These sell for  $15.00 each, are light and whimsical and look great if you want to dress up a plain sweater or top!

This is a beaded necklace with clear aqua stones using silver accents and touched off with a gorgeous dragonfly.

Modeling jewelry, or anything for that matter, isn't my forte but this is an example how they look warn with a top:

Here's something I enjoy doing after I've completed making jewelry to unwind...I recommend it highly-(as long as one doesn't overdo! :) Hey,we all need a little reward on occasion.

Crocheted Wire Jewelry

I found some beautiful beads and colored wire just over the border in Canada at a little store there. The prices were great so I decided to make a few more necklace sets. It truly helps make these long winter days go by faster! Below are some in different colors and designs:

I experimented crocheting with a different type of yarn and think it turned out pretty cool and whimsical. The earrings almost look like feathers which is quite the rage now with the younger gals:

It's nice to see how my jewelry looks on but one can only look at my mug so long... Here's a LOVELY model...but oh, so hard to pin her down..She is wearing the crocheted wire here:

TRELLIS YARN NECKLACES:

They make a lovely gift for special occasions:
