Noveena on artfire: http://www.noveena.artfire.com/ does some wonderful beedwork. I can't imagine the amount of time it must take her to make some of her items. I love the color of these earrings:

ART FIRE

Artfire is a fairly new online selling venue. Each person has their own "shop" where they list and sell their hand crafted items from. Every few days I'm going to be featuring different sellers from Artfire!

The first is CaterpillarPeacock ~ http://www.caterpillarpeacock.artfire.com/

Lindsey is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and makes the cutest tiny hats. She first crochets them out of wool yarn, then felts them. In the one shown above, she also added a few swirls. They are only about 4" wide, and clip to your hair with the attached bobby pin.

Check out her shop to see more hats along with the felted calla-lilly jewelry she has listed.

Completed!


Sometimes it takes longer to finish a job then the rest of the job took! To catch everyone up, I glued up the dragon using a combination of wood glue and super glue. The super glue acts as a clamp while the wood glue dries.

Then I headed to the local glass shop to see if they could cut me some mirrors. I added a couple more coats of tung oil, then sprayed the wood with a clear sealer. All of this was done over a span of a few days.

The simple job of cutting the backer board, and gluing the mirror to the back took another week or so - But it is finished now. Ok, not quite completed - I still have to add a hanger on the back so it can hang on a wall!
