The musings of a crafter masquerading as an artist. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Iron Craft 2015 Challenge #10- E is for . . . (Updated). In my attempt to get my post online in time, I left out some of the specifics regarding the envelopes. I decided to update the posting so people could understand the process. When I send the envelope without a cover, I simply tape shut the envelope on the flap side, throw an address label and stamp on the flap side (if you are using standard size envelopes you can use a re...

NY Star Cards: Iron Craft 2015 Challenge #13--Halloween in July
http://nystarcards.blogspot.com/2015/07/iron-craft-2015-challenge-13-halloween.html
The musings of a crafter masquerading as an artist. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Iron Craft 2015 Challenge #13- Halloween in July. For this challenge, we were asked to work with text. Kat said that she was letting off easy and I really needed an easy challenge for #13 because I was on vacation for most of the crafting period. When I returned, I developed an inner ear infection so it seems that I am constantly in a cave. With a clear conscience, I was able to go to work- LOL. Hope you feel better soon. Iron Cra...

NY Star Cards: Iron Craft 2015 Challenge #14--More Quilt Squares (Study in Blues)
http://nystarcards.blogspot.com/2015/07/iron-craft-2015-challenge-14-more-quilt.html
The musings of a crafter masquerading as an artist. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Iron Craft 2015 Challenge #14- More Quilt Squares (Study in Blues). Logs (but small narrow ones). Blue I'm so BLUE. Not really but this challenge really challenged me. It wasn't that I had a dearth of ideas but I had so many that I couldn't decide and ended up wasting a couple of days trying to decide. The challenge became even more difficult in that I decided to continue on working on blocks for a future quilt. The third and fou...

NY Star Cards: 31 Days of Halloween--Day 24
http://nystarcards.blogspot.com/2013/10/31-days-of-halloween-day-24.html
The musings of a crafter masquerading as an artist. Thursday, October 24, 2013. 31 Days of Halloween- Day 24. Today, I wanted to do another treat bag and to offer something other than candy as a gift. Today's gifts are handmade crayons. I melted down crayon stubs in waxed paper cups that were placed in a water bath. Once melted, the wax was poured into candy silicon molds. The molds were placed in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. On My Boo...

NY Star Cards: December 2014
http://nystarcards.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The musings of a crafter masquerading as an artist. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. December 31, 2014. This is it. The last one. Envelope #365. I never thought that I would be able to make it but I am so happy with the results. The most satisfaction that I enjoyed this year was the alphabet series and the stencil/crosshatching/plaid (tartan) patterns. I hope that you enjoyed following along. I am still determining if I want to commit to another 365 challenge next year. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. This was ...

NY Star Cards: August 2015
http://nystarcards.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
The musings of a crafter masquerading as an artist. Tuesday, August 18, 2015. Iron Craft 2015 Challenge #16- Cabin Lampshade. For Challenge #16, we were asked to contribute to the Minnesota State Fair. After much internal debate (not), I knew that I wanted to enter the Decorative Crafts Division- Paper Cutting competition. Somehow, my eyes immediately locked to that entry in the official rules and divisions. I then had several options- to repeat the pattern or to create different silhouettes to fill the ...

NY Star Cards: June 2015
http://nystarcards.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
The musings of a crafter masquerading as an artist. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Iron Craft 2015 Challenge #12- Quilt Squares. My grandmother never made me a quilt because there was some angst within the family that by making a quilt for an adopted child that the "natural" children would get upset. Of course, this was adult stupidity but it made its mark and I never received a quilt. When she died, much to the regret of the "natural" children's parents, my grandmother bequeathed her fabric to me. I folded, cu...
