Wordless Wednesday
My Life in Pictures- July 23rd
This past week has been super busy around the house and studio! However, the girls and I were able to get away for a bit, and we took all the pups to Lake Pine for a nice long walk around the lake. I think we all needed it! The weather was a bit hot, but it’s always pretty around the park. I just love all the wildlife they have around Lake Pine as well, and the dogs go crazy for all the squirrels and ducks! It’s a beautiful place, and in the hustle of the city, a near by calm spot where you can take off for an hour and just have fun. And perhaps the thing I love the most about walking the dogs at the lake is that they are nice and tuckered out for the remainder of the day, or at least a few hours.
Have a Happy Monday Everyone!
DIY Pet Portrait Instagram Necklaces
Today I have a super cute DIY for you all! I’m going to teach you all how to make these adorable necklaces from your favorite instagram pictures of your pets. This is a super easy craft, and it’s very economical as well. This would be a great craft for a party! You could also make batches of them for holiday gifts for your girlfriends, teachers, dog park friend, etc. If you buy your supplies off of Etsy, you can make these little cuties for about a dollar a piece! I bought all of my supplies from Sun and Moon Crafts on Etsy. You can see their shop here. So gather your favorite instagrams of your favorite furry friends, and let’s get crafting!
Here’s What You Need:
*1″ Clear Glass Tiles
*Amazing Glaze, craft glaze, or decoupage medium( I used Amazing glaze)
*Jewelry Bails
*Cardstock printed with your images
*Chain, Ribbon, or Cording for hanging
*Paintbrush
*E6000
Step 1: Print image sheet- In photoshop elements or a photo editing program reduce down your instagram pictures to a little less than an inch(.0875), then drag them onto a blank 8.5×11 page. Once you have all the images you want on your page, save and print. Now gather all your suplies together. Cut out square pictures.
Step 2: Apply Photo with Glaze- Apply a thin layer of glaze to bumpy side of glass tile. Then place image face down on glazed side of tile and press and smooth out any bubbles. Let dry.
Step 3: Glaze Back of tile- Paint a layer of glaze on the back side of the tile. Let dry.
Step 4: Glue Bail- Place a small dab of E6000 in the top middle of the back of your tile. Then firmly press on a jewelry bail. Let Dry. Finish by hanging on a chain or ribbon, and enjoy!
Don’t you just love them! I love being able to wear my favorite gals around my neck! It’s like carrying a little piece of happiness with you all day! Not only is this such an easy craft, it’s also so economical! Definitely a fantastic craft for keeping or for giving! Hope you all enjoy!
Happy Crafting!
My Life in Pictures- July 2nd
As many of you already know, our house is an animal house! We have two dogs, two indoor cat, an outdoor kitty, and 10 chickens. This week my favorite instagrams from my personal portfolio are of two of the fuzzy babies in the house. I happened to catch our Siamese kitty ,Titus, up on one of his favorite spots, the beam above the stairs in the studio. My other favorite pic from this week is of my little Italian greyhound, Sadie. She loves to sleep on top of the couch in the sun room. I love her sweet little expressions. But don’t let that cute face fool you, she’s a real hellion, and keeps us on our feet most of the time. I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of Sadie and Titus, as well as the rest of our clan soon….
Hope you all have a Happy Monday!
