4" x 6" Gothic Arch - Marie Antoinette Swap

***Please click on the pictures to see the details close-up***
The theme of this swap was to incorporate a peacock into your arch.  He is the mascot at Marie Antoinette Mail Art and his name is Pierre Paon.

The top arch is mine and the three gorgeous arches I received are from Roxie Morrow, Michelle Carrier and Terri Gordon.  Such happy mail!  Thank you gals for a wonderful swap!

Sophie at 5 1/2 Months

I've been getting emails as to how Sophie is doing so I thought I'd post a current picture of her.  Here she is at 5 1/2 months old.  She is a smart little pup...already house trained and has learned to sit and fetch.  **Sophie is a Cavachon (Bichon Frise and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix)**

Mixed Media Monday - Past Loves

This week at Mixed Media Monday the theme is "Past Loves".  Not old flames but something you used to love to do and haven't done in a long time.  I used to make quite a bit of jewelry at one time.  I haven't touched my bead stash in years and I also needed to make charms for a swap at Marie Antoinette Mail Art so I spent the day making charms for the swap and also made this charm bracelet for myself.  I spent all day working on 36 different charms...this is just a small sample of my work.

Thanks for a great challenge.  It was nice to break out the needle nose pliers again.  Please visit:   http://mixedmediamonday.wordpress.com/  to see all the lovely art this week.
