Winners of the Halloween Party Blog Giveaway

First off I would like to thank everyone who stopped by my blog for the blog party. I had a great time visiting all of you as well. It's fun to get together to celebrate that day of the year when it's ok to be spooked out, scared, or just weird.

As promised, here are the three winners of my giveaway-nothing fancy, just a thank you giftie. If you want to know what the gifts were I will be linking to their blogs so you can check them out.

1-Isabelle Thornton of lechateaudesfleurs. She has a wonderful blog that I am now following.

2-Wendy of Wendy's Adventures in Wonderland. Such a fun blog!

3-Sarah Wallis of Circles of Rain. Some really lovely pic on her blog.

Summer Afternoon

I made this altered bottle for an artist friend I was visiting as a giftie. I wanted it to have the feel of a summer afternoon pond under trees with sunlight shining through the leaves.

I had to coat the bottle with matte gel medium first to get the textured look I wanted. I also used interference paint to give a shiny look. It also helped that it was a beautiful sunny day when I took these pics.

And The Winner Is.....

Drum roll please,

Lezlei Ann of Breath of Art

One World One Heart

Welcome to my posting for One World, One Heart. This is the last year for this event and I wish I had known of it sooner. So, let me introduce myself. My name is Kelly Jeanette though just call me Kelly or Kel. I am a mixed media artist and writer living in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee, USA. There area is best known for bluegrass music, the International Storytelling Festival, and Bristol Motor Speedway.

Though I live here now I still consider myself a South Carolinian. I was raised on the coast and in the Piedmont area. I love the sea and try to visit Myrtle Beach, SC at least twice a year to fed the love.

Anyone who is familiar with my artwork knows two things about it-I like intense color and I like bling. I can't finish anything without putting something glittery and/or metallic on it. My mom always said I must of been a gypsy in a past life. I don't know if she was referring to the bling or the tendency to wander. I do love to travel.

Anything else you want to know this blog can tell you. It's all about me.

So, for the giftie. This is it, a mixed media necklace I crafted using handmade paper beads made from a magazine page and painted with iridescent paint, ribbon, yarn, wooden beads, shell pieces, wire, agate stone, and Tibetan bells.

It's not a perfect creation. That's just not me. To be commerically perfect is boring!

(sorry about the image. Photographing a necklace was harder than I thought. And the iridescent paint kept blurring.) If you don't want to be included in the give-away just say so in the comments.

The give away is open to all bloggers. I'll be picking the winner be random andinforming them by e-mail. Please leave me your e-mail if it is not on your blog so that I can let the winners know.

Some New Works

Just some new work I have posted on my etsy shop. I seem to be in a holiday mood lately. I hope it keeps on. And I hope I sell something.
