ACEO Exchange - Time Travelers Team

Here are two of the ACEO's I have received during our team exchange.  Thanks AgentOfChaos for starting this event it was a lot of fun.

The Dragonfly is from Mad Scientist Design and the Scene is from Decadent Delusions both on Etsy.


Here is the creation that I received from Lilybellesjewels on Etsy


This has been a great team event and I really enjoyed seeing everyone's Art Cards, absolutely fabulous.


The following is what I sent - each being an original especially made for each recipient. I based the theme on thinks that I saw they liked or faved in their Etsy shops.

Gabi seemed to like pink, and faces so she got a pink face.
Amth seemed to like eyes and butterflies


And Khulwhip seemed to like wings and eyes.
So there you have it, my attempt at creating ACEO's.  I hope everyone had a great time doing these.


This next one is a photo ACEO that I am listing in my shop, it was the beginning of the 2010 Total Eclipse of the moon taken through the trees in my yard.  I thought it was an awesome sight, but that's just me...Others my not think so, we'll see.

the next two are a product of catching the ACEO bug, think I have potential???

It's all how you look at it - geometrical illusions above and just a fine feathered friend below.

This is fun...Enjoy! ♥

Special order

Triple cedar tea light candle holder - the first photo is blurry but just showing how it looked when I started.


I have now removed the rough outter layer


After much sanding and shaping
then it gets a bath so I can see how it's going to look when I put the finish on it and I can see where more sanding is needed.

The other side
Now I have a little more sanding and then drill the holes, put the finish on it and it will be ready to shine and look beautiful!

♥Bettie
Here it is with the holes - just have the finish that I will apply today then it will be ready for listing just for
Ms. Paula!

Walking Stick project

Here I have a walking stick that I am working on for a neighbor's granddaughter. I made my friend a walking stick and also one for her walking partner, the grandmother of this little girl. I saw the grandmother and the girl yesterday as I was coming home and of course stopped to chat. The little girl asked if I could make her a walking stick. I said sure and asked her if she wanted me to paint it, she excitedly said yes and could I put the name Cat Valentine on it. Her Grandmother and I both said what, that's not your name. She said I know but I really like the way it sounds, I like that name. So, Cat Valentine it will be.

So I found a stick and this is where I'm at.

Walking stick for Cat Valentine!

I'll post a finished product.

♥ to all

Special Order update

 Ms. Shelly - Your business card holder is looking for that bicycle basket, somewhere in California... (:


Almost there


We're getting closer
 
I think we're done
So what do you think?  You ready for me to post this for you?
I really like it.










Oh, now we're ready.  Got to have a key chain to hold your bike key right? The color is Amethyst, it just drys so dark it's hard to see the color in the photo.
