Yep, it's that time of year. I always get very crazy and hate having to negotiate or say no to an employer or say yes, and then something better comes along. I've had several offers already, but nothing that has met my needs. Today i got a very promising and exciting possibility - so keep your fingers crossed for me - I'd really like to get this one!
I finally finished my Round 2 Diva Charms. Hallelujah! Here they are:
They are made from tiny wooden spools, swarovski crystals, mini dice and fine silver wire.
And I finally finished my first painting (since I was 10!). I had painted the bird and heliconia images and used that image in some mini charms, cards, etc, but had never finished it as a total painting. It has fabric and stitching on it, too. So here it is - it's 16 x 20. It incorporates many (ok - ALL!) of the techniques DJ taught me.
And this is my entry in the June "beach " Challenge lotto:
it's the 2nd in my "Morose Sisters" series. Sort of how I feel.
What else - I'm still working on my "tooth and nails" necklace. I decided to patina the silver and brass tooth components.
WRONG!
Really really ugly. So I am remaking them all. I used up all my silver, though, on my Diva Charms, so I ordered some more - Lord knows when it will arrive!
And I've started 2 more paintings.

And here's something silly - I love to take pictures of mouths and eyes and noses and other body parts. Hana is so expressive - what a cutie pie!

Connie, I love the charms! And your painting and lottery piece are wonderful too. But best of all is Hana! She is so cute! I bet she's smart too. You can tell.
Hugs,
Karen O!
Connie, your charms are wonderful and I LOVE your painting. So fresh and tropical.
Love your charms! I'm wishing I had joined this round!
I've got my fingers crossed for you to get the job you want. I was just wondering what your next project was gonna be. A local station has picked up Hidden Palms, and Cynthia and I have been watching it!
Big Hugs,

Connie, you know I LOVE the painting (I'm currently invesitgating framing options). The charms reflect your wonderful artistic ability and I'm looking forward to getting one in the swap. The slide show of Hanna is a delight. I am crossing every conceivable body part in hopes you get the job you want.

From one Cetta to another...
I saw your name and had to say "hi"
I, too, am Concetta - always called Cetta. I hated it as a kid when people would say, "Like the cheese?" Now *I* say it!
