Day 4 ~ 29 Faces Challenge

Continuing on with the same path I have taken right from day 1 my face for today was done on a piece of broad cloth in fabric paints and I will be making a cell phone case out of it tonight and I will add the pics of the finished case to this post tomorrow.  


Here are the pics of the finished case, the pink felt that is lining the case is much more pink then it looks in the photos, for some reason it was coming out looking rather red to me....






Its not yet in my Etsy Shop because I am being very conflicted at the moment over whether I should keep it or sell it, I really want it soooooooooo bad but I SHOULD sell it, what to do what to do! lol

Thanks for looking! ♥

Day 3 ~ 29 Faces Challenge

I did todays face in the same way as I did yesterdays, painted with fabric paints on fabric so that I can sew it to another cell phone case that I am making.  I add the pics of the finished case to this post tomorrow once it is done.  I already added the pics of the finished case done with yesterdays face to the last post if didn't yet see it.  I dont like how the colors have been coming out in the scans so the pics of the faces on the finished case look much more true to life as far as the color goes.  Anywho, enough blabbing lol  here is face #3...







Thanks for looking, I will be back tomorrow with face #4!

29 Faces ~ Day 2

As I did yesterday with my first face I decided to do another painting on fabric to make another wallet however when I finished painting it and cut it out I realized that it ended up being a tad to tall to fit on the wallet that I have designed so I guess my options are either redesign a new wallet that it will fit on or I was thinking it would be the perfect size to design a cell phone case to sew it onto.   I think I am leaning towards the latter but I would love to hear your thoughts....

Here is my painting done with Pebeo fabric paints on a piece of linen fabric


Whatever I do decide to make out of it I will add the pics of the finished piece to this post tomorrow as I did with yesterdays.  Thank you for looking!

Here are the photos of the cell phone case I decided to make out of this yesterday, I am very conflicted over whether or not to keep the case for myself or put it in my etsy shop for sale?  what to do what to do.... lol






The photo of my painting looks much better and more true to life then the scan of it that I posted above yesterday btw.

29 Faces ~ Day 1

For my first face I decided to get two birds stoned (my version of "kill 2 birds with one stone lol) I wanted to make another wallet today so I decided to paint a face to sew onto the wallet that I am making and therefor in doing so get my face #1 done and my wallet done all at the same time!  

I just finished painting the face and now just need to sew the wallet together with the face on it.  I will be posting pictures of the finished wallet tomorrow.

I painted this face with Pebeo fabric paints onto a piece of linen fabric, heat set it and then stitched it to a pink piece of felt.  

and here is the wallet that I created out of it...







Thank you for looking! :)

Bunny Skully Accessories Case/Wallet

I am excited to introduce a brand new product that I have added to my Etsy Shop today and am currently in the process of creating more in the similar style!


This hand painted wallet/case was completely designed and made by me here in my studio.  It measures 7.5" wide by 4" tall, fully lined in pink felt with a velcro closure and a button on the front for design.   Perfect for a variety of uses, anything from money and credit cards to make up or glasses, you decide!





The bunny on the front of the case was hand painted with the finest of fabric paints and heat set so it will last forever without fading or peeling as long as it is properly cared for.   I also sewed a large pink felt heart on the inside and a smaller one on the back.
 You can find this creepy yet cute little case for sale in my Etsy Shop!

29 Faces Challenge 2013

For the second year in a row I am back again to participate in the 29 Faces Challenge for February!  I enjoyed it so much last year that when I saw it come up again I couldn't resist.  For those of you that missed it last year it is a challenge to create a face a day for everyday in February and since last year there were 29 days it made it a wee bit easier then I guess it will be this year with only 28 days.   That is ok, I know I can do it!  lol




You can follow the above link to get to the challenge blog where you will find links to all of the participants and their faces.  There were so many wonderful artists participating last year with so much amazing artwork, I just cant wait to see what is going to be created this year!
You can follow this link 29 Faces 2013 to see all of my challenge faces for this year and if you would like to see any of last years for those that may have missed it just follow this link 29 Faces February 2012. 
I will be back later today with face number 1! See you soon and Happy Creating!
