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....

Collages in Process

The always popular orange cosmos.

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

 

Works in Progress from Today

This is something new for a long narrow frame.  I'm enjoying the variety of flowers

Blue and orange pansies and lobelia

Roses in a painted frame

Roses on a music background

 

Pansies on a music background

Collage: Spring to Fall on the Prairie

I enjoyed doing a couple of these collages again.

The first flower in the spring is the prairie crocus.

Prairie roses bloom in June.

The sunflowers are some of the last flowers in the fall. I like the variety of colors!

Pressed Flowers in Interesting Frames

I've had these frames for several years. The oval frame swivels.

The tiny drawer does indeed pull out.

Pansies and still more pansies....

Orange cosmos with maple leaf hibiscus leaves

I like to have some framed crocus on my craft fair table.

Photo Collages

I've spent a few days making a variety of photo collages.

The bottom photo of crocuses is from the spring of 2011.

The picture of our father's truck was taken by sister Anita.

Today's Projects

These collage frames are rather small, just 9.5" x 5" outside measurement.

It was fun to do a variety of arrangements today.

Do you have a favorite?

The picture of the windmill is black and white.

Pressed Flowers and Postage Stamps

I've been experimenting with incorporating postage stamps in my flower designs.

Most of these stamps have flowers on them.

Australia has some great stamps!

I have more ideas, and hope to get some new designs worked up.

Spring to Fall on the Priairie

I try to do a few of these collages every year.

Crocuses are the first to bloom in the spring and roses come in the summer.
(The Golden Alexander I used for accent with the roses are also summer plants.) Sunflowers are some of the last wildflowers of the season.

Here are a couple of close ups

Back in Production

I have a deadline approaching, time to start creating!

The above frames have a 4 x 6 inside opening.

These frames have a 2 x 3 opening.

A little collage frame, with 2 x 3 openings.

The ever popular design in the 5 x 7 barnwood frames.

Spring through Fall on the Prairie

This collage is 9.5 x 18.

The first flower in the spring is the crocus.

Summer brings the prairie rose.

Sunflowers bloom in the fall.
