Originally I had purchased the Violin from a couple saying that this instrument was the first of many that their daughter Silver had played. I love that story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started pre-assemblage at home before class started in hopes of completing it...That did not happen as by day four of class my body could no longer withstand the pace"( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However a week later and she is finished! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The steps taken and equipment used 2 old frames ,violin, jewelry find, mismatched finials, and a goodwill bust of a lady. A whole lotta clay!</div>

I truly love to sculpt, I really do. Designing the kraken was a idea I had swimming in my head for a while now and was happy to let that out. The wee face on her is a small frozen charlotte face I added for assemblage purposes. I became a little stuck and did not want to lose my bust face when I was sculpting a diving mask, I tore it off in disgust and then Michael walked up behind me and plucked that little metal piece out of my stash and BAM!!! Magic! I really enjoyed creating her.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I apologize for some pics my camera is older and as it was a gift from my sweety I can not rid myself to replace.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been slowly getting back into the arty studio vibe after what has seemed like a year </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OH WAIT!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been...Hmmmph! Let no one tell you that relocating and remodeling are a easy task..It has been far from your average half hour fixer upper. But, in the end, well worth it. We love our home and my studio is cluttering up to be a proper arty mess. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have just taken the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wands of Protection online class (info below) By Michael Demeng. That is my 7 or 8th class I have taken and I always learn so much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Wand looks a bit more Scepter But hey! To each his own. She measures around 19.5" with her back wall holder around 17". I love her and think the crystals that I had hanging around in my stash have found their home, I made her wings by pounding out wire to my specifications and using a jewelry file to clean the rough edges. I wish I would have looked at the package for the gauge on that...else I could tell you. The real task was boring a hole in the bisque of the frozen charlotte so I could attach the wings securely. Water and a good diamond bit in my trusting dremel did the trick! </div>

I sewed her crystals in with silk material and silver thread. The small rounds are once again the xmas bulbs. I throw next to nothing away . Organization is key to having a lot and no one knowing it ") One day I will share my studio. It has become my ultimate place and I wish to be stuffed and live here for all eternity..too weird?<br />

Long have I loved the Demeng's and the amazing creations that spew forth from the depths of their arty minds and this latest online endeavor that Mr. Demeng has brought forward is no acception. If you don't have the pleasure of taking a brick and mortar class then do try one of his many online classes. You will not be disappointed.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">It has been a Alcohol Ink type of month. I have the studio just about 80% set up and my arty self got stuck in the rut of becoming familiar with the new digs. Sooo because pinterest is the idea capital of the internet I decided that every time I get stuck I would take an idea from there and see what it grows into. I showed a few of these last month on facebook but I think I have improved a bit.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dropping ink out of a bottle and creating something recognizable is harder that I thought </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(emerge ugh/sigh emoji) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Copics are easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Favorite so far is definitely the piece I titled Liquid Forest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Welcome to the Midwest!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is literally days before the Month of December and much to my shagrin I was right..Can you imagine the chaos in my mind over that?!?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I said in the beginning that it would probably be Thanksgiving before we got the house organized..and even though there is still around 35 boxes left to unpack in various places -garage,basement etc....It isn't the 510 we started with! Wow!<br />
I joke that we are 50 shades of grey and if you could see all the samples that had to be gone through to see what looked purple and beige and sometimes even green in our different types of light...it was literally so.<br />
(remember to click on pictures to zoom in)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to take good pictures...and I am delighted to share what we have so far...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before: the living room was this</div>

Before: we replaced the chalky surfaced tub..YUCK! Finding the tile to match what was already in the shower was easy because luckily the pre owner had redone the shower less than a year before we purchased.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Migration Festival </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in our home town!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend me and the Mr. went down 7 blocks to our little local fairground.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Within there is a garden...all flowery and quaint..but amidst this garden is, as the cliche goes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
worlds within worlds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love butterflies..I mean really who doesn't?!? We humans see the beauty and assume it's for us ") </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or maybe that was just me :P</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beside the garden was the butterfly bus where one enters the tagging station. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lovely Master Gardeners within demonstrated how they tagged a butterfly for the migration down to Mexico (teeny weeny dot sticker with a transmitter.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These gardeners plant all the yummy food plants that makes the butterflies taste buds sing...when the butterflies are in the small egg stage they try to get them in tanks so that nothing..including strong winds ,rain, or the next door neighbors weed eaters can damage them and that they achieve the migration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It truly was amazing to see the bus/ incubation station.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Master Gardener explained the stages and showed us how to tell the sex of a Monarch. The fella's have finer lines and a black dot on the lower wings..the ladies have thicker lines (because even in the animal world thicker is better ")</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Due to so many of the habitats being sprayed with pesticides along with human encroachment we are losing our beauties...Not just Monarchs but Swallowtail and several others. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How can you help ? <a href="http://www.fws.gov/pollinators/">Go Here</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to see what all the stages of a butterflies metamorphosis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This wee little thing is the beginning egg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The wee caterpillar is actually teeny and greeny brown until it gets to be a around 5/8th of an inch then it goes to the yellow and black strip suit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello !!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If ya'all are still listening I am here to update....finally!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been 10 months since my last post and I sure have missed you all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We moved from the south up to the midwest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little town we live in has music piped through the streets and citizens to match no other area we have ever lived...I say this through experience. A story that I will happily share...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So get ready for the good , the bad, the down right dirty laundry and ultimate proof of the preservation of the human soul through the largest display of human kindness I have ever been blessed to receive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started with a job offer that literally came and was signed on within 6 days... 3 days later came the moving trucks! 2 of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All studio stuff with the exception of the flammables ...in the truck...all pots pans knick a bracks...in the truck.....all furniture with accumulated dust bunnies...in the truck and like it or not...all memories of a previous life...left behind. No more worries, no more sand gnats no more crazy neighbors trying to steal your land for a free fence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have returned to grass you can walk through and lightening bugs, I have flowers in a garden that grows and my husband now gets his hair cuts at Art Barber the barber, Barber shop (not kidding) . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have a little doc down the street and a hardware store that has baby chickens and ducks for sale, a ice cream shop that has a favorite flavor special weekly.....So many things I just can hardly mention them all that makes this our home....But above all...Our neighbors. This town and all the people in it are each others neighbors. All of them are us! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is not anything we have ever encountered before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After months of looking and looking "sticker shock" and more looking " outright guffawed laughter" ...finally we found our forever home. She is a french provencial that some one tried to confuse her identity by making a room tuscan- a room spanish- a room greek ....and above all that ...mustard and canary yellows (inside and out) !!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those who know me and know me well ..Know I simply loathe yellow....hate it! I think it is the color of all that is yucky....please do not make me go into further detail on this opinion? It will be no good for either of us...shhh shhh....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now understanding that I am a eclectic person through and through...My newly renovated home will look just as random. Minus the greek columns and the tuscan grapes patterns...oh and spanish tile...and I will also share that every room had no less than 2 phone jacks and some had 5....what in the world is that all about? Hubby said DSL..I say brown chicken brown cow.....my theory makes for a better soap opera") Gives our french girl a little pizazz along with that whole around the world tour ..don'tcha think? </div>

(Please note that all pictures are before reno)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will do a separate post showing all reno differences later. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We closed on our South Carolina home on March 31st....and Signed on our new beauty April 12th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prouder parents we could not have been!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now lets tear her up!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the construction process all good consumers do a couple of things before hiring a contractor...#1 what is your budget.......#2 make a list of all work you need done/want done/and your dreaming! After you make this list..mark off what you can do yourself..I mean really do..not what you want to be able to do....BE REALISTIC! {she secretly whispered to herself after claiming she was super woman} Then run off to home advisor build it and a few other sites to get general pricing for your area..you can even get free estimates through lowes and other larger places. I first tried (in support of my local small business to hire within the town but they truly where super busy already and I was late asking to get a slot"(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had several bids to do this and that..only 3 that had all my list on the budget and now it is down to who do you think has time ..we picked the middle guy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He came on a Saturday and we discussed everything in detail...agreed on over all pricing and how payment would be given. Money down was given...He was to start on Monday with full crew. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday comes and no worker people..I did get a text at 9:10 a.m. that they were stuck on another job and wouldn't be on my job till Wednesday. hmmmm....Wednesday rolls around and 3 guys show up but no boss guy..the one has painters tape to tape everything of which i asked why because should you tear out and drywall everything before you tape??? Just a question and then the other tried to make 2 x4 four boxes to hang on my ceiling for my beams....UT OH...this is not looking good...Boss comes in to assure me...the whole time saying we will get it... (little voice repeating GET YOUR MONEY BACK NOW) Thursday and friday was spent taking down lights I didn't want and painting my ceilings white again....oh and that paint was going to double as the primer for the rooms that were loud!!! This paint was the only paint that this company purchased..I had to buy all other paint...come to find out it was not paint at all but plaster of paris mixed with old paint and water to extend...Later caught companies men trying to wash out my old sherwin williams cans..hmmm suspicious...Long story short after flooding/shorting out electric box and ruining drywall in 3 rooms and 8 days later....they were fired! That is where our real story begins.<br />
It was the towns local electrician I called in to check on the companies work because I kept hearing buzzing....the guys took down the lights in the "demo" and put the white and black wires back in the same nuts!!!! (NEVER DO THIS)...EVER!!! we are lucky our house didn't burn down.<br />
<br />
I looked at Gary the electrician and asked...what do I do and who could help? 1 phone call and the best of the best showed up that day....It was literally the towns (in my opinion) best builder and general contractor that I could have ever have prayed for. One man called the calvary and before I know it...a months worth of estimates and hoping and going through some fly by night crap that could have burned the whole thing to the ground....Was reconciled with and by my neighbors..my new family.<br />
I truly hope that some day I can answer a call to repay these blessings.<br />
<br />
More to come...<br />

I remember these cats hanging everywhere at my grandma's at Halloween time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a real joy to make it so tiny with small 1/16th" rivets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I searched for something unique for this little guy I found the cover of a Childlife magazine that featured these little cats in 1937</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy her as <span style="text-align: left;">much I did making her.</span></div>

Today I have yet another little sculpted skully piece, It is Poe!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because what the heck is Halloween without a little Poe?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he comes with his kickin chicken STACHE as well!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know those things stick around after you die? I wonder if this is true for girlies as well because I kinda like the thought that mine will make my skully look so debonaire:O</div>
