Steampunk brooch- it's Lydia again!
Lydia spent too much time in the saddle, now she's so bow legged she doesn't think her legs will ever straighten again! OUCH! But she still loves riding the pony!
She's a Rock Star!
Guitar makes you laugh and it makes you cry....remember that old Bread song from the 70's yikes, am I that old????
NECKLACE!! HOWEVER!! If you want me to make this into a brooch for you please ask and I'll change it over free of charge.
Steampunk Rocker Girl. Moves and dances as you move and dance. Arms, legs, skirt and guitar all move. You can move and position her hands on the guitar or play the guitar or just throw it over her shoulder.
Fun, rockin' piece for any musician in your life or just for you!

Measures: 21x 6 inches
11 pockets
Fabric with cotton batting lined flap. I've put some pins and a safety pin in there. The batting makes it easy to slide pins through.
Layers of new and vintage laces and trims embellish the inside and out with photo transfers on the front and inside the needle flap.
Brown with pink polka dotted grosgrain ribbon tie the bundle together.
A large crochet circle on the front is cut from an old doily my mother in law made about forty years ago.
On the outside of the fabric, needle flap is a button/pin back with a pair of scissors printed on it. Put there just for fun. Across the front at the top are the words: PLAYING WITH MARBLES which I cut from the edge of a piece of fabric. It was the name of the fabric and I thought it was fun so it's recycled here.
Green Earth Friendly Transportation
Steampunk Bicycle Necklace Going Green is a priority for Louise. She sold her car and bought a bicycle. It's a steel frame with no emmissions! How great is that? The bummer is those rainy days but she's still working on that problem. Large bicycle pendant made of steel>? not sure, it's very old and lost like it is die cut. I think it was part of an old sign. The metal tag- EMMISSIONS- is vintage, from an old control panel. Dangled from the bicycle is a drop of new and old beads. Vintage china with flowers in yellow, and a pretty yellow and pearl flower. The chain measures approximately 18 inches with a lobster closure.
Trash to Treasure My Illumination Garden
My husband is an electrical contractor, the supplier of over sized street lamp bulbs. When the men change the bulbs in the parking lot light standards they throw the old bulbs in the trash. I was on a job one day and saw them, of course being me I was horrified and told each man that they had to bring them back to the shop for me. These have been turned into bugs, beaded and strung for decorations and now I have a few in an old soda crate in my garden. I just love really big and really small things.
Does Martha live at my house? Reusable Swiffer Covers
Okay, I had a Martha moment today and made a pile of reusable covers for my Swiffer. I got tired of buying boxes of these things. I have hardwood floors and tile, I go through tons of these things-especially with my giant Oatie dog! I'm so domesticated today. HA!
UNBELIEVABLE TRASH TO TREASURE!!
My student and friend, Marj Epp, came through again with a winner!! A trash to treasure to top the treasure list!! She took an old lipstick tube, emptied it, painted, then polymer clay sculpted it. As you turn the "lipstick" up out pops a baby bird waiting for her breakfast!! Just look at the pictures and pretend you're screwing up the stick. This is just pure fun. I love Marj's mind!
