Sharing more talent

  I have mentioned my daughter and her genuine artistic talent......from pencil drawings to fabric and designing.  She has amazed us since she was young  playing with Barbie dolls and hand stitching clothes for her.  It was natural that she go into designing.  So, it is a little brag book time to show some of her new art........

  A couple of years ago, she took a jewelry making class to see what it was all about.  Of course, she excelled and discovered a new vista for her artistic talent.  This a form of fun and therapy for her, but I stole a couple of photos to share what she is doing.  To date, she only makes items for friends and herself.

Lots of earrings.....I am not sure what type of bead or stone these are, but I love the color and how she turned them into a pair.






  This is one of her latest designs.  It is a pendant made from antler horn button.  We picked up a variety of these "buttons" when we were in Alaska a several years ago.   She used copper rivets and hammered copper on it.









  The copper loops over to the back and finishes with more of the free form design.   She uses a jewelers saw to cut out the free form design that reminds me of the coast line in Alaska.







 Her latest and absolute favorite she says.  Wonder Woman is 2'' high!!!!  Believe me, my jaw dropped when I looked at the detail on this.  I have no idea how she accomplished this, but I think it is so her!
I think she did grow up to be Wonder Woman :)  Read that as Mom and Dad beaming at her talent.


As for me, I am finishing up the small watercolor.....off to sew.  Happy stitching:)

My goodness the apple sure didn't fall far from the tree when it came to Deana. She does OUTSTANDING & BEAUTIFUL work. She should sell on her Etsy store. Y'all have to be very, very proud of her & her talents. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning Debbie.....With mom a talented creator of fabric art, and dad, a master of 'woodsmanship' (don't think that's a word, how could she not be talented in whatever medium she chose for her creative outlet? Beautiful pieces, especially the pendant. Maybe an Etsy store should be in her future. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net

Wonder Woman I can live without, after years of trying to be everything to everyone I realised that's a n ambition I was incapable of lol But OH the earnings and the pendant are divine! Individual and beautiful. Wonder if the earnings are turquoise? That talented young lady should sell them I agree, stunning designs.
