Throw me something New Orleans Saints/finishing metal edges
Oh how I am wishing for another one, like the other one. I am a die hard Saints fan. I wore that paper sack over my head for years...but now finally "we have a winning team"~!~ Of course I am on cloud nine.

Make mine Simple please/Playing with metal
I'll be the first to admit that I am a lazy like a fox crafter. I love awesome results and will go to any length to find the easiest tools possible to achieve them.
As you know, the queen of recycle "oui" have been playing around with Budweiser cans and lately have been attempting portraits and silhouettes.
It was my good luck to stumble across a company that fashions tools to simplify working with metal...I'm all for it~!~!
Cutting to the chase, wifey wanted hubby to make her a tool (she sounds like a lazy like a fox... crafter too, lol) to make things simple. Brainiac hubby did, and one thing led to another and another and now America has a New company making American Stuff, and hiring folks and such....Yea for the The U S of A....Beautiful America.
I can hardly wait for the new year, and new cash to patronize Amy and make my metal time more fun and easy....Read all about it here...
Bless you and yours Amy~see you real soon

Mardi Gras Captured
Been playing around with a product called EncapsoK. It gives the appearance of clear glass. Awesome stuff.
I wanted to create something to represent my hometown New Orleans (Nawlins) Since relocated to Kansas after Hurricane Katrina, I don't get down there for Mardi Gras. I wanted to capture the spirit of Mardi Gras. I was so pleased with the outcome.
I wanted to see how something like this would be received on Etsy, so I will have to make myself another one. My imagination is running wild. I will attempt a bowl of cherrios encapsolated, spoon and all. I purchased a pigment that makes the EncapsoK look like milk. I can hardly wait to try that. I saw a howto at the site I purchased the EncapsoK. I will be sure to share a photo.
See you next time.

Last in the "Sprinkle" Series for now
Here's the third and last of the series. I've grown bored. Ready to move onto something new.
I have decided I really love putting together design Inspiration Kits to inspire creativity. Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and need a jumpstart. I kept the price under 10 bucks but include lots of embellishments. Here's a link to check it out:
