Work(s) in Progress


I've started "back in production" for fall craft shows.

I'm happy to have some unique new frames to fill. 

These tall frames are great for lavendar.

The inside of this frame is about 7 inches.
 I'm wondering about an orange cosmos design.

This little frame is like an antiqued mirror.

Craft Fair Table Prep


We spent a little time this weekend working on display ideas.



It's been fun to work with old crates and doilies.


This is a new idea, orange cosmos on black velvet.

Fun Frames


I like to have something a bit unusual on my table at the craft fair!



I am enjoying the little stamped in details: flowers,



hearts



stars on the heel...



The top of this framed prairie rose is all glass.



Do you think anyone will want to buy this on St Patrick's Day?! That is the date of our next craft bazaar.

Back in Production


One of the stores in our little town is having a moving sale. I was happy to get a box full of mini frames at a very good price. They are tiny, with room for just one small flower.



I used roses to experiment.









I signed up for a spring craft bazaar to be held March 16-17. So, I am "back in production" for a few weeks!

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!

More Postage Stamps and Pressed Flowers


Here are a few recently completed postage stamp and flower designs.


This frame is black and measures 14" x 14".


Here is another design in the same type of frame. (The picture was taken before the stamps were secured, they are straighter now!)



A closer look at the roses and Golden Alexander.



Canadian stamps with Sugar Maple Hibiscus leaves...

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.
