Good morning! I'm sharing yet another video about my favorite pass time - at least it has been for a while now - Beaded Polymer clay Face Pendants! I really enjoy making them and these are only a few of the ones I've kept. I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for stopping by and for watching!
(In an up coming video I want to share some of my Dragon inspired pendants - stay tuned...)
Big Hugs,
Kelly

Crafts of many colors all vivid to my mind. A very joyous place. * Art Dolls, cross stitching, polymer clay, beads, crochet - lots of colorful fun.

New YouTube video up - Altered Book Art Journal
Hi - I know it's been a while; but, I've been on vacation, celebrating my birthday and just generally being me. (That takes a lot of time - sometimes.)
I've been working on an old book that I found - well, I'm not really sure where I found it - but it's become quite a project for altering. This is what I call "messy Art" and it's right up my alley. I am getting very gluey and paint smeared and loving every minute. This project actually started at the end of 2014 and will most likely be a work in progress for much of 2015. I didn't realize how much effort it takes to create an altered book!
The video I put up on YouTube only shows the progress I've made to date. It may not look like much but believe me - it's been an effort. The book, an old text book I think, had over 500 pages and I've whittled it down to about 20 two sided pages - lots of editing there. The paper is on the thin side so I glued two pages together in each instance to form one stronger page. I will be adding paper and ephemera as I go so the pages will get stronger - I'm just hoping that the binding holds up!
Here are a couple of pictures - one of the outside of the book - as yet unaltered and one of the middle spread that I did this morning. Bare in mind that I am only beginning work on these pages - what you see is only the start of the background - not the finished background and the actual page layout isn't even in the idea stage yet. Loads of fun - and I find it really exciting to just do this as I go - by the seat of my pants so to speak - no blue print or seat belts here. LOL.
I think this is the link to the video - I hope you enjoy it.

| The front of the book - isn't the image interesting? I think I may just emphasize it rather than cover it. |
 |
| My phone lets me write on my photos - just thought it was cool. |
 |
| Middle background spread in progress - scraps of paper, die cuts and gesso so far - options are endless... |
