Feather notecards

Playing with feathers!

Several people have given me feathers to work with and I have been experimenting. Here are a few pictures. I started working with framed designs and then someone suggested doing some notecards.  I have tried a few of those as well.

Been working on some things for an upcoming craft show. It's fun to work with these pink and burgundy cosmos!   I've done just a few notecards.

Spring Fling!



It's been a while since I've done a spring craft show,
but we are trying a new show in our little town.
It will be held this Saturday, May 3.

Here's a quick preview:


A few new mini purse frames.


Here's a new size for my custom made barnwood frames.
The interior dimension is approximately 3" x 8"



I took these pictures before I had the designs glued in place, but you can get the idea....

Variations on a Theme



I am trying out a new background.  It's been interesting
to incorporate some postage stamps from my collection.


I like to try at least one new idea every fall. 
 


I may make a few notecards with this stamp design.


Here are a few more recent designs.

The words are written with lobelia, and the "o" is orange cosmos.

First Craft Show of the Season



I've been trying to get in to this craft show for a few years.


Several of the other vendors said: "We just like coming here, it's a great little community."  After our first experience here, we agree.


Some friends came by and took our picture.


A look at the table....
 


It was our first time to have pegboard available behind the table.

All in all, it was a good experience, and a good sale.   We hope to do it again next year.

Packing for First Craft Show of the Season



Here's the back part of the trunk of the car.  This is just the beginning!  I am enjoying the vintage suitcases, both for transporting my things, and also for display at the show.   And on top of those suitcases is the lastest auction sale purchase.   It's a metal child size ironing board.  I'm using it in my display.
Starting to pack in the back seat here...boxes, wood crates, shelves, table, etc!
It's pretty amazing how much we can get in a Honda Civic!

Brainstorming Craft Show Display


Notice!!   I removed the extra step in the comment form, so it should be more user friendly.  Let me know if it works okay for you.   Unless I get some spam, I will leave it open.


I'm trying to incorporate a few of my vintage treasures in to my display.


These pricing tags and little metal stands are from the last auction I attended.
 


A cloth suitcase that folds up flat!   It came from flea market.
 
Trying to figure out how to use the crates and boxes.
Ignore the flowered bed sheet...it's just marking out the size of the table!

Collages in Process


The always popular orange cosmos.

This is not complete...still working with it.

Today's Cosmos in Progress


I've been working with orange cosmos today.

These flowers are just placed in the frames, they aren't glued yet.

A fun frame with orange in it.

This little collage matches this one.

Pansies in Progress



The birds and branches in this frame seem to complement my flowers.

 
These metal frames have a 4 x 6 opening.

 
This is what I'm working on this afternoon.   They're not glued yet, just in the creating stage.
