Happy Holidays

It has been a couple of weeks since I was on here. The internet connection is just too awful.

I just got a notice from blogger that you can get my blog posts on a encrypted site by using https://1krazyrtist.blogspot.com .

I don't know how often I will be able to post. But I will continue to try.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. The holidays have begun here and the rv park is being decorated by the staff. They did a wonderful job for Halloween so I am looking forward to the Christmas decorations.

The photo I used today is called Party Doll and was made for a challenge in a magazine.

Hopefully I will be able to post again in a couple of days.

Zombie Art

Finally able to get on here. Between no access and not being able to get up to the rec room area, I have been off the internet. All of my photos are processed on this computer so I can't even use my phone to log on except to do some text.

So today I thought I would share some of my zombie drawings fro
m 2013. I can't believe the zombie craze is still going on. These are just a few of the drawings I have done. Most of them are more alien zombie than human zombie. I like alien creatures.


The first drawing is zombie #6.







The second is a design for a greeting card.

The third is a couple of sketches for bookmarks.

I frequently do sketches for my crazy ideas and then the sketches go into my file. I may use them later. Or just look at them for inspiration for a new idea. I would like to do some t-shirts with some of my designs.

So, even if an idea sounds crazy, make sketches, make notes and then keep them. You never know when you might find a new way to use them.

New Jewelry

While doing the daily drawing challenge the last couple of weeks I have been working on some new jewelry pieces. I wanted to share some of those with you.

  

In September I sold a few pieces to a local new age store. I went in to buy some essential oils and ended up selling some jewelry. I keep a small tub in the car of my jewelry in case I have just such an opportunity. And, this week the owner called me to bring in some more for her.

The first piece shown here in made with wire and peach quartz butterflies. It is approximately 2 ½” tall and designed to wear either way. This is similar to one I sold to the shop.

One thing I like to do with my jewelry is design it so it can be worn in multiple ways. I like to use chains that allow different lengths. If a piece cannot be worn both ways I like to make sure the back is nice looking just in case it turns while being worn.

The second piece is a wire wrap fossil. It is an Orthoceras (mollusk) that is 400 million years old. I bought the fossil at a gem show in Sedona this summer so I could wire wrap it. The finished piece is only 2 ¼” long.

The third piece is a goddess face in polymer clay accented with watch parts and other metal pieces.

The fourth piece is a polymer clay face colored with alcohol ink. The face is attached to a large watch piece with other parts and wire to hold it all together. A quartz crystal is attached as well.

The shop owner said that her customers seem to like the wire wrap, Steampunk pieces with the crystals. So I have made a couple new ones the last couple days for her. I will be making more I would think since this is the beginning of the busy season here in Wickenburg.

Wickenburg is a destination for snowbirds and horse people. It is the roping capital and has a big rodeo in February during Gold Rush Days. This is a very Western town that grows in October and grows even bigger in January. Then all the visitors leave in late March to go back to the cold states. It's a nice little place to live.
