New Treasures for You

Love measuring devices.
Look at the cool cover on this one.

And LOVE that rusty numbered tape.
Now I did not unroll it all to see,
but I'm guessing the WHOLE thing looks like that.
Who would have thought just sitting and looking
at rusty numbers could be so fun. =)

Another nest under a cloche.
(and one outside).

New friends and daughters cards.

New wire cloche. (with a nest of course).

And a bit of new art to remind me where my strength comes from.

Bragfest Tuesday

I see my friend Jan

has featured my nests on her blog,
so here is a bit more about me and my art.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thought maybe if you were new here you might like
to know something about the artist
who creates for her store, and this blog.
That's me! =0))

I love to find treasures to create my art.
All my nests are made from flora I find on my morning walks,
and a few other fun finds to add to them.
I make my own bird nests, and am always looking for new
and unique homes for them
You know those birds will build a nest about anywhere,

Like.....

Old Light fixtures.....
(This is one of those old fixtures that hung upside down.
Makes a beautiful home)

This is a tiny cloche on a glass base.
Only4" high.
And nest is less than 2".
(This one is sold, but I have 'fixin's for 3 more)


How about a collage in pretty blue frame?

spoon easels with nests on them. Fun!!

Here is a simple idea.

Tiny, Vintage Coin Purse. (new)
This little purse is only about 3" across.
available

I'm braggin' on my students who
made some cute nests in a class I taught.
It was our first nest class at the store.
There will be more!
Old Trowel. (sorry for sideways pic)
and a partly burned out candle.
Talk about creative!!


A little framed nest, and
nest in a baby shoe.

And these last 3 are my all time favorites!!!

I LOVE this one!

I really had fun with these two and hope to do more.

The fun part is, that even though you are using the same
elements in a lot of these, they are all uniquely different!

And here is an old coffee grinder with no drawer.
A perfect place for a duplex!

There are tutorials on my side bar for
some of the nests and other treasures I make.
The ideas for homes are endless.

Please show me if you make any,
so I can brag about you too! =)

I want to thank Jan for featuring my nests,
and for hosting the bragfest each week!!
Please go visit and see all the other creative treasures.

Blessings
