Tea Break Fairy


Tea Break~  Take a moment, boil the kettle and have a cup of tea. Now they have proven that it lowers stress to drink tea or just the act of preparing it. I don't know why a study needed to be done. I've always had tea when dealing with a crisis! Or just because. I love tea. I love making tea. I love to drink tea. I love buying it, all of those fun packages to choose from and I love my beautiful tea cups, the thinner the china the better and the more flowers the best! This little fairy has landed on a Rogers fork handle that has been cut and bent into a pendant base. Attached to the back is a piece of vintage handmade tatting, maybe a piece from the doily your grandmother put the pot on? and below is a Tibetan silver tea pot. Beneath her head is a vintage watch face, there to remind you to take the time for a relaxing break and upon her head a tiny crown with CREATE impressed into it. You can't be creative if you're not relaxed. You can work but to create you need to get in touch with your inner voice, you need to relax to hear what she has to say.  A ball chain, approx. 24 inches long is included with the pendant. You can wear it on the chain or slide it onto your favorite chain you already own. I left plenty of room in the turn for the bail so you can easily slide it over most clasps.  Measures: 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Fiber art and crazy quilting mixed with Polymer clay.



Doing art quilts is the ultimate fun for me. With many  things I like to do in one piece, the results are usually just total eye candy, fluff.  Putting clay faces in the mix adds another layer to dig through.  Sitting for hours with a pair of scissors, a needle and a bag of scrap is bliss.  Layering to the point where it's thin and thick.  I love the feel of the thread sliding through my fingers.  Wools have such  a warm feel, silks slide with beautiful color, metalics drag, but give little spots of light.  Twisting threads over and under a scrap of fabric giving it depth  and dimension, not sure how it will finally look.  I give control over to happy chance.  Mix in a cup of hot tea and it's a perfect moment.
