Halloween Shot Glass Night Time at the Pumpkin Patch

I know, I know, I have not shared anything in a very long time.  Truth is I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my love for crafts, and art, and my limited time.  I will be setting a goal of posting at least once  a day, hopefully two.  I would like to do one post from my Cafe Press art pieces, and one post from my Etsy shop.  We will see.  Below is my art on a shot glass, perfect for anyone who loves Halloween decor, or for a Halloween party, or wedding.  Cafe Press currently has a site wide sale too.  Be sure and check out my other pieces.  I still have tons more of my art to add, again the time thing, and some of them need better editing too.  I am #missy69 on Cafe Press and Etsy.  So, I am real easy to find.  I have a new Etsy sale each month.  Christmas is coming, so you need a special gift I am sure.  Click Halloween Shot Glass Night Time at the Pumpkin Patch.

June Sale Item #2: Rose and Hummingbirds Etched Glass Vase

I have loved a lot of things that I have created, but this must be one of my favorites. It is on sale for the month of June, so don't miss out on getting it at a reduced price. This is a glass cylinder shaped vase, with a rose and hummingbirds etched into the glass. There is some room for names and dates, if you want it personalized. I draw the images onto the glass, and then using my Dremmel, I etch the image into the glass. Glass etching is permanent, and will not come off. It is dishwasher safe. I do not ship internationally, and all of my fragile pieces are shipped with Priority Mail only. To purchase this item, or view other items in my Etsy shop, click this link.Missy69 Etsy

Art Challenge Day 10: Two Tone Color Palette

A two tone color palette, means I only get to use two colors. That is always a challenge for me. However, buying these colored plates, one orange and the other black, made it much easier, because not many paint pens actually work on these two colors. The sugar skull is black and gold, and the owl is silver and gold. I love how both of these came out, but I have to admit that owl is just beautiful. I have one more black plate, so you know it will be something in silver and gold, lol. I am not sure, yet, what I will put on that one. To visit my Etsy shop, to purchase, or look around, just click the highlighted links.

Some New Items For Valentine's Day!!

I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year. We did! We went out to a party, for the first time in years. My daughter went with us, and my son had a different party he went to. It was a warm, and beautiful night. Now, it is time to get ready for Valentine's Day! Below you will see three items, I just recently created for Valentine's Day. Please note, the first two pieces, were created from my own original art work, and are available on Society6 in my new art store. They are available on all kinds of different cool items, not just the blanket, and mug shown below. These make sweet gifts for the sweetie on your list. I still have tons of art work to upload there, plus I paint new items every week. Be sure to check out my new seahorse, love it!

 The third item is a crocheted heart. It is just about 7 inches long, and I would use it as table decor for a Valentine's Day wedding, party, or shower. But, it can also be used as a pot holder, or hot pad. These are made to order, and can be done in other colors, unless you only want the one that is already made. They do not take long to make at all. Click the highlighted items, to visit my Etsy store, and my Society6 art shop. Remember, you can always ask me questions about custom orders, and designs. I have some heart jewelry items that I hope to be working on this weekend.


You can always find me by searching Missy69 on Society6, or Missy69 on Etsy.  A very easy way to find me, and my items.

Graduation Money Jar and Zentangled Wine Bottle Solar Garden Light

I am behind on sharing my Zentangle challenge pieces. If you don't know what Zentangle is, it is basically a fancy word for doodling. I joined an Ancient Art Zentangle group on Facebook, and each week a new set of patterns to use are posted and you design your own art piece. The first one is a bear. It is painted on a recycled, now upcycled into a solar garden light. After painting on the design my pieces are sealed twice and set in the sun to seal more. Then I took a solar garden stake, from the Dollar Tree, inserted into the jar, so the solar part is sticking out and then put it in the garden. I now have five solar garden lights completed. I think I have five more wine bottles left. They are all different designs, and you can see them in this blog. I think I am going to list them in my Etsy store as made to order only.

 The second piece, is a recycled, now upcycled glass pickle jar. First I sealed the bare jar. This was an experiment to see if it helps the paint go on smoother with less streaking, and yes it works quite well. I still added three layers of purple paint as the base coats. Then I used an owl stencil, won't do that again, and tangled the owl. At first I was very disappointed, but I outlined the eyes and beak a bit better, and that satisfied me. Then on the other side, I painted the saying You're A Smartie, tangled the words, and class of 2014 at the very bottom. Last but not least, I added some tangled borders on the sides, and top. The lid was painted purple and a smartie candy super glued to it. I filled it with Smartie candies for the party, and she can reuse it for anything she wants. A money jar at her graduation party this weekend, would be awesome I think. Jars can be used to store so many different things. Again, I think I am going to list these as made to order for birthdays, graduations and weddings. I am sure Baby and Wedding showers would be awesome too.

 I am caught up now, on the Zentangle posts. Now to get the rest of them done, lol. I am working on a super cute infant baby boy cocoon, so be sure to watch for that in the near future. I will also be having some new, and unique resin pieces to share.

18 Inch Doll Caitlin's Party Dress with Shoes and Christmas With Mother Nature

I finished my first doll dress, and shoes, today. This is Caitlin's party dress. All my crochet doll clothes will have her name, as I make them for her doll, then offer them as made to order in my Etsy store. I am pattern stupid, so I have to make my own.  Made to order items will only be available from now on, in my Etsy store, not Ecrater store. This one is done in pink and white, with matching shoes. I can do this style in any color combo you would like. The second picture is my fourth painted gift bag, for Christmas. After Christmas I will be starting other holidays, weddings and birthdays, so be sure to watch for that. This one is titled Christmas with Mother Nature and is my favorite so far. I love it. To purchase any of my items, either click my Etsy banner at the top, or one of my Ecrater store widgets. Prices are the same, it just depends on where you prefer to buy. Ask me any questions if you need to.
