Art Elements Theme Challenge for June - Sunflowers Reveal

     I can not even believe it is the end of June already..... It's been one crazy and busy month. I wanted to join in on June's Art Elements theme challenge.  Susan picked this months theme of Sunflowers.  One of my favorite flowers. I just love the brightness of the colors.

      One thing that is pretty cool in my area is a Sunflower Maze.  If you are ever in the Fresno area, you will be A-Mazed!!! The Sunflower Maze in Centerville is so much fun and it’s Free! Location: 16155 E. Kings Canyon., Sanger.
Parking is at the Centerville Fruit Stand.






     I really wanted to get more done than just this... But, this month just flew right by. Literally.  Here is a pair of earrings I made for the challenge.

     I took some cultured sea glass, patina'd washers and wire wrapped them with some sea glass I had found in Monterey, California at the beginning of the year.  I did texture the washers and then applied the patina.  I like how these came out.  I just have not added the ear wires yet.  But I did finish them..

     I also started this pair but as you can see, I did not get very far in putting them together.. lol  This is my first attempt at using the tin from a soda pop can, adding some patina and then adding the yellow beads to them.

     Thanks for stopping by and here is a list of the other participants.  Make sure to stop by and check out their beautiful creations.

It does not have to be 24 hours straight.

You can split it any way you like as long as the hours total 24.

Review: Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls

Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls by Lauren Graham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just love Lauren. She played one of my fav tv moms on Gilmore Girls. I love this candid account of stories from when she was first cast as Lorelai Gilmore to revising the role almost a decade later. Her stories for college years and living in Hollywood had me laughing. One story I loved was her becoming Vegan just so she could impress Ellen DeGeneres... Seriously classic. If you are a fan of Lauren's then you should definitely check this book out.

Art Elements May Themed Challenge Reveal

I know I'm a day late. I was traveling yesterday.  Here is what I came up with..

I had an old windchine that I wanted to spruce up a bit...  So I took it apart and cleaned up the parts and drilled holes in the sea glass I had picked out.

I then wire wrapped the glass and chimes

And here is how it came out.

Thanks for taking a look.. Here are the other participants. Check out what they created.
