I don't know about ya'll, but when my gal pals & I get together...we love to craft! Pictured above from left to right is Me (
Cranky Queen), my very talented friend, Melanie, & the diva of junk, Wanda (
Excuse Me Why I Buy This Junk....& we get together often to work on various "creations."
Melanie's house was the location of this gal's night out. She is really into re-purposed jewelry, & chose to work on a wonderful necklace using old religious medallions, crystal chandelier prisms & vintage jewelry.

| This is the finished product~this picture really doesn't do this piece justice! |
 |
| Melanie wore it to work the next day! |
The
Cranky Queen chose to experiment with an altered~art jar with a sea theme. I filled the jar with sand & shells....& I could not refuse using this vintage picture of an adorable little girl holding a seashell to her ear!

| Supplies |
 |
| The Queen really concentrating on her task at hand... |
|
|
 |
| Seashells, torn pages from an old dictionary, cheese cloth & sea~themed jewelry was used to alter this jar |
 |
| This verse speaks to me... |
 |
| Wanda & I hard at work! |
|
 |
| Wanda's choice of crafting that night was changed mid-stream due to some "technical errors"...that happens often~LOL! |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Wanda then experimented with a Formica counter top sample tile, making a key chain. As you can see, she was VERY proud of herself! |
 |
| So at the end of the evening, everyone accomplished something & enjoyed good food, good gossip, fun crafting~even the pups joined in on the fun! |
The Cranky Queen is really not that "cranky"...with friends like mine, how could I be?...Good friends are like fine antiques...priceless~
STAY CALM & CRAFT!

And a good time was had by all! But I have one thing to say. You really MUST start cropping pictures. LOL (Or I MUST get the weight off. That's the better idea.)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you girls had tons of fun! Love your jar and that necklace!

ReplyDeleteI love how your sea-themed jar turned out. I have a friend who comes over to craft with me and it's so much fun...we're not always as productive as the three of you were though!

This is such a great idea...getting together with friends to spend some time visiting and crafting! Doesn't get much better than that.
