New project,got bored with the plain almond colour exhaust fan range hood so I redid it in an antiqued bronze ptessed tin. Came out kinda neat,,only now I wonder if it'll be harder to clean those grooves? Oh well who cares? It was a fun project.

I just finished a new mermaid ring ,it has a carved opal in a scrolled wave,reminds me of an ocean wave. The ring is palladium silver with a sea horse,star fish and mermaid gathered in the ocean waves to form the mounting. The shank is a scrolled design all around,no area left untouched.

Better view of fireplace plus plaster arch and scrolls and corbel in the peak of the cathedral ceiling beams. Hard to see but the beams and wall trim are also embossed. Those are my sweet puppies,Emily,Sasha,and Amber.

dolls

2009-10-19T15:36:00.001-07:00

I missed working on dolls,I needed that time off to fall in love w/ the art again.

niche

2009-10-19T15:13:00.000-07:00

I don't know if it shows in the pix but when I textured the walls I put little flower impressions w/ my fingers. My husband and son saw them right away. I also did a couple little doggie paws for my puppies. I simulated that w/ my fingers too ,didn't think I wanted to put the doggies paws in plaster.

hole in my head

2009-10-19T14:47:00.001-07:00

Well I just did something crazy but luckily it worked. I started on my hand made niche last week but didn't have a clue how to install it. After all that work I did on the walls in the kitchen I now cut a hole in it and hoped for the best...by the way not the best strategy....must have a hole in my head... If this hadn't worked when Al came home I'd be patching a wall with the piece I cut out..and yes I saved it for just such an emergency... I would'a had a lot of 'splanin' to do.....
Here's the results so far,hole in the wall,now niche in the wall. Waiting for the plaster to dry so I can paint it and put doll in it.

new jewels

2009-10-19T11:37:00.000-07:00

I finished a special ring last week,it's called Garden of Puppies. It looks like a floral scroll design w/ a heart center stone but if you look closely,it has doggies surrounding the stone. It's a memorial tribute to all our dogs,past and present.
It's done in cast palladium with a lab alexandrite and genuine pink sapphires in the flowers. Normally I'm not into lab created stones but I just love lab alex,it changes to 3 different colours depending on the light,blue,purple and magenta.

First blog

2009-10-19T11:30:00.000-07:00

This is my first blog so bear with me. I'm always working on something new so hopefully it'll be interesting. I work on all sorts of projects from dolls to jewellery to ornamental plaster work. I love adding new architectural elements to our house,especially when it gets cold and I get bored..
I just redid our kitchen,stripped off the old wallpaper and did a Venetian plaster finish and embedded little plaster reliefs and finished w/ a butterscotch sponging.
