What Doodling Can Lead To...

I go back and forth between two notebooks I carry in my purse....



 
It's a great way to pass the time....
 
 
 
so then I thought, why not try something bigger like a portrait of my daughter and her dog....
 
Hali and Hanna



I may be addicted to this.....

Easy Fall Projects

 
I thought I would share some of my recent projects I've completed to add some fall decor.
 
I planted another terrarium this week and added a little Halloween flair....
 

by adding a few toy bugs.  I painted the grasshopper and praying mantis to eliminate the bold toy colors.
 

I like how it looks next to the pumpkin I decoupaged last year and my sugar skull.
 
And here's my version of recycled beer bottles.
 
 
 



 
Just spray paint them white and decorate with a Sharpie.
I love recycling projects!

Felted sugar skulls

I'm getting into the fall/Halloween spirit and just recently created this garland.....



It's available in the shop.  I'm working on several other skull related pieces I can't wait to share♥
