So in memoriam of my Papa who passed peacefully but suddenly this last friday I am going to embroider a portrait of his army photo. Im really excited to start working on this and throw it up on the wall. Wish me luck!

skull canvases

Here are a few of the canvases I did for my mom for her birthday(yes we are a skull loving family). This first is actually made of gum wrappers, when i was a little kid we used to peel the silver from the white backing and then stick it down, well this is exactly what i did here. The next is a dia de los muertos skull that i did with paint pens and then embroidered the roses onto the canvas. Didnt quite turn out how i would have liked it but oh well.

and finally these skulls were beaded using seed beads, i wanna say they were size 11 but i dont remember. This was a test of patience to say the least.

New to blogging!

Well I am new to this whole blogging thing and I am totally excited. Hopefully this will not only inspire me but help me to keep track of the ever growing number of crafts I have and hopefully finish them instead of ignoring them.
what i am working on now: I have a set of canvases for my little sister I am finishing, they are painted with lace and i am embroidering girly things on top. The one right now is a set of necklaces, i got the pattern from urbanthreads.com. Hopefully i will finish that this weekend since the boyfriend is out of town and im all on my lonesome. After that I have one more canvas to complete for her, with an embroidered chandelier. I have finished two out of the four and need to get photos taken and uploaded.
