The Lost Art of Letter Writing...Revived!: May 2015
http://lostartrevived.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Crafty Snail Mail, Letter Writing, Pen Pals, and Paper Crafting! The Greatest Love Letter. Saturday, May 30, 2015. It's time to send out a bit of "Gold Mail". There is an important birthday to celebrate. It is late, so it needs to be extra special. So here you can see that I have assembled a good amount of my gold supplies. It's always good to get them out to see what you have on hand. I'm going to start with the box. I really like the LARGE gold foil alphabet stickers! Isn't this bottle cute? Wednesday,...

Seahorse Ranch Life: December 2014
http://seahorseranch.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Dec 31, 2014. Proper Way To Store a Necklace. And there was an inkling that perhaps Mom had "hidden them" in a secret place. Ugh. How many important things I've lost when I put them in hiding: Hiding them from myself it turns out. This was the catalyst toward a solution to "what to make for Mom for Christmas". Dec 17, 2014. Turn This Into That. I stayed true to the A Gilded Life style when decorating the acorns. Dec 7, 2014. I followed along with the tutorial almost exactly, except I modified the center ...

The Adventures of a Curious Kat: Glass Flower Jewelry Party
http://www.acuriouskat.com/2014/08/glass-flower-jewelry-party.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Glass Flower Jewelry Party. Recently I got together with my girlfreinds to make jewelry with gorgeous glass floral beads. This is the necklace, it's very long. The beads are pretty hard to source; some are from French General. Some from etsy. Most of them are vintage. The lucite (and fake lucite) ones are from those places, plus Michaels had some briefly. The bracelets came out so wonderfully! Labels: glass flower beads. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I broke the internet.

The Adventures of a Curious Kat: Dress Form Ribbon Storage
http://www.acuriouskat.com/2015/01/dress-form-compadre.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Dress Form Ribbon Storage. I have a new friend/helper for my art room! This is nearly my entire ribbon stash, now easier to sift through and lovingly displayed. I admit, I had to bribe my daughter to help me hang ribbons on her. The jewels she sports are my various rosary chains waiting to be used. I was inspired by a photo on Pinterest; if you want to make one, leave a comment and I'll share some hard-won tips. March 27, 2015 at 6:35 AM. Would LOVE to know your tips on this!

The Adventures of a Curious Kat: June 2013
http://www.acuriouskat.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 17, 2013. Had a great time recently at a friend's house - she got a"paint with friends" sort of kit from Michael's (I forget the maker now), which had a template and color guidance for painting -. Mine is in an art journal, of course. It's fun how different they all came out, isn't it? We ranged from comfortable with paint, to terrified, but everyones turned out so well! I highly recommend it for a cool gathering. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Get my adventures in your Inbox!

The Adventures of a Curious Kat: Snippet Roll
http://www.acuriouskat.com/2015/03/snippet-roll.html
Sunday, March 15, 2015. I have officially joined the Snippet Roll craze they are so much fun to make! This one is about 90% finished, I just want to add some hand stitching around the girls, and embellish a bit more. That's the fun of these, it's very spontaneous; I just glued and stitched stuff down as I went. Most of the girls I just found on the web and printed on fabric sheets, easy peasy. Some of it was from etsy or Flights of Fancy boutique (on the web). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thursday, March 14, 2013. I'm not done journaling on this, but I was in the mood to share; this is a page that I hated for a few layers, but now I love! First was some watercolor dots, then tissue paper over with matte medium, then thinned gesso, then the embellishments. I hated it right up to the last step. It's all weird on the left because I smooshed out my journaling in photoshop). Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Zig "Wink of Stella" glitter brush review. See the blobs of ink? Yeah, these suckers leak. ...

Tuesday, May 14, 2013. A local friend opened her art studio/garage for a wonderful class, taught by the patient and funny Jeannine Stein. Even having made a few books, I learned great little tips and tricks - classes are so fun that way. Here's Jeannine showing us how to bind. And here's all of us showing off our finished books. Jeannine was a treat not only because of her easy-going style, but she pre-cut all the blank pages and cover paper - yay! Check out her blog. Wednesday, May 8, 2013. That's me on...

The Adventures of a Curious Kat: Lovely Ladies
http://www.acuriouskat.com/2014/02/lovely-ladies.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. There has been a flurry of attention lately to one of my fave subject, which is the lovely ladies of the Victorian/Art Nouveau/Art Deco periods; probably a Gatsby/Downton Abbey effect. I made this the other day featuring one. And the best part is that it's dual purpose next time I piss off my mom, I can circle "apologetic" at the top and give it to her, or if I make it to Mother's Day without being a fail daughter, I can circle "appreciation"!

The Adventures of a Curious Kat: March 2014
http://www.acuriouskat.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 1, 2014. Last month I got swag-making fever and churned out a few. This one started with some goodies from the last Spellbound Art Retreat. And this one was lots of lace and fabric I had around (some of which is from the wonderful Gilded Girls Stash Society. It's pricey, but I'm never disappointed in what I get. Plus they always have great craft tutorials for the month's supplies, which inspired this swag). They were so fun, fast, and easy to make! Labels: Gilded Girls Stash Society.
