Fast Approaching…

We have one day left before school starts.. One! Not sure if I’m excited to take the kids back and establish a routine again or if I’d rather have another month or so off…? It’s a toss up.

Painting again…

A week or so ago I posted a picture of this in Facebook and here it is once again…finished!

Angel Wings
I didn’t set out to paint this nor did it really occur to me what I was painting until just before I posted.
That’s the thing about creative inspiration…you start in the morning, end in the evening with very little idea of how the time went by!

The Big Reveal…or The Emmy’s Here We Come!!

Okay…so here we go! Is everybody ready? Somebody give me a drum roll!

First up…and I was going to say this is one of my favorites but I’d be lying. I loved them all once I was done and would’ve kept them…but… So here’s the first of five…
Segments of Time Emmy BraceletI have several obsessions and time, and how crazy fast it goes, is but one.
Time Close UpHere it is a bit closer. Love, love the Iced Enamels and how they colors seem to blossom under the Ice resin.

Ready for #2?
Gears & Steam Emmy BraceletI love this too! Mellow Steampunk. And let’s talk about that Fire Opal Enamel, can we?
Gears & Steam Close UpSee that piece on  the left? That’s the Fire Opal refracting light through the resin…gorgeous!!

Soooo….number three…..
Purple Butterfly Emmy BraceletNow I’m showing off another obsession I have  with insects of all kinds. Butterflies are probably at the top of the list but I love ladybugs, cicadas, even spiders! (as long as they are dead and under a layer of resin!)
Purple Butterfly Close UpAgain…don’t you just get giddy when you see how that Fire opal shows…and then add glitter!? Need I say more?

Onward and upward….#4
Pink Moth Emmy BraceletDid I mention I have a thing for bugs? Oh yeah….and moths…all kinds of big furry, colored moths! Somehow the picture of this isn’t half as brilliant as it looks in person. It’s hot pink, shades of gold, Fire Opal (of course), and some touches of purple and black. Yum…

Last, but certainly, not least… #5
"Flight" Emmy BraceletThis may have been the one I could’ve snuck on my wrist while I was packing the box…hoping no one would notice when they opened it at the other end. (Jen!) Um, yeah, so..there’s that Fire Opal (again) BUT this time I mixed it with some Chartreuse enamel! (that makes it different, right?)
flight Close UpOh my goodness! I will miss them all…

How exciting that they will all have new homes with someone from the Emmy ceremonies!? I am eternally grateful to the entire Ice Resin family for this opportunity and honored to be a part of such a fabulous group of artists!

Want to see the others?
