Long Hot Summer!

The summer continues to be hot….. and humid…..thanks to the recent monsoon rains we got here in Phoenix. I took some time off to create and added to my volunteering opportunities. I also have been researching some events and vendor fairs that seem interesting. I have signed up for 2 so far…..Please see the sidebar to the right, or if you are on a moble phone, swipe to the end of the blog posts and see those events. Here are some critters I have been working on:

This is The Mad King Lizard that will be entered into the Arizona State Fair in September. He is about 17” long. Please see 3 more that will be entered.

This butterfly is about 6” across. It is for hanging and has a looped wire on back.

This Scottie dog is about 1-1/2” and is a pin.

The bottom one on right is the 4th entry in the State Fair. This is a pin. The large dragonfly is for hanging and is about 6” across.

This is another wrapped 6” butterfly. I am using old vintage jewelry parts, beads, wire, rhinestones and whatever doodads I have in my stash!!

This extra large lizard I will give to Shemer during their Arts Festival scheduled the first of November. It will be a raffle gift! Cost: $100

This is an ornament I plan to give to Shemer Art Center to sell at Christmas. It is about 4” tall. More jewelry parts….

Wrapped tree with added jewelry parts. Another ornament I will give to Shemer to sell.
