Crafting for a Farmville addict




Golden Gnome
 Farmville Crafts are fun and I was running a swap on crafters for FV addicts here are a few things I have made for the swap and also some I have made just for fun I have more that are half done that I will post as soon as they are done. I went to the store and Bought a second one of the gnomes to be painted and I was telling my husband that I will be painting it gold like the first one to which he replied that it looked fine the way it is and if I could find another one in the store painted gold like this one that would be great.   "????" Honey I painted this one. OH?
Husbands. lol.
Disco ball tree ready to harvest
 This one was harder because of the time of year it would have been easier to make with icicles for a Christmas tree that were blue. there were Easter basket grass and a necklace I got both at a party store.
 A coin purse  and picks punched from a FV card. I made the coin purse to look like a plot pf corn using corn buttons with felt husks and a pul tag also from a FV cash card.  I have a guitar pick punch (My daughter plays) so I punched out pick shapes from a FV cash card I will put holes in the narrow top of them and jump rings then make a bracelet out of them maybe with other charms on it too. I will post it when I do.

I have an Aloe plant that produces many little plants and it was time for it to be divided yet again. so I took this time to make an Aloe Mastery sign like the ones in the game and send an aloe plant and pot with the sign.

Why my DD doesn't ask me to make her pizza

This is what happens when my daughter asks me to make her a frozen pizza.
She was not amused. which made me even more amused. she said "Really?" Really, mom?"
That thing it is on is a bread stone it rocks for frozen pizza. I then cut up the face and she and my DH ate the head. :)

small gnomey

 I am participating in a small gnome swap I picked a Item off my partners wist list and then recreated it in a medium I liked better. I used a plastic Easter egg (from the collection down stairs waiting for the Easter bunny) and covered it with air dry clay then painted it up like the stuffy on her wist.

I also made an art card. which i then used as the front a a card to go with the package. the swap was a three point swap the time I took making and painting the gnome is a large but I like it and I really think he is cute. oh also I out plastic beads in the egg so my DD says it is a gnome maraca.
I used Citadel paints. They are the paints for Warhammer miniatures. They cover better then any paint I have ever used and they dry very smooth

Stars and Constellations

Stars and Constellations, I am working on this piece and I just don't know what do make it into. The Fabric is a stretch denim. I love this material, I would love pants made out of it and it is glittery.  I put sequins with a bead in the center for the main stars in the constellation, and just made star with embroidery thread for the two other stars not quite in it. This is the Seven sisters constellation there are 8 stars in it because Sterope is made up of two stars. the other two stars are the Parents of the Seven sisters. It feels just a little folksy to me. I am torn as to whether I should make a bag out of it or cut the fabric and turn it over and finish it off in the hoop as a wall hanging.
