Snow Peeps

I’ve been working on ‘Snow Peeps’.
I’m covered in glitter, glue and feathers!

The exhibitions coordinator from The Alliance for the Arts called two days ago and asked if I would be interested in participating in an expanded sale in the main gallery.
She paid me the nicest compliment saying I was one of their best sellers!
How nice was that?

Anyway, I need to have enough ‘stuff’ to display on a six foot table.
Now, I know that doesn’t sound like much, but the timing has caught me off guard.

She specifically asked for more journals, and I don’t have any on hand!
So…..I’m madly slaving away!

In the meantime I thought maybe these little cuties could help fill in the bare spots. It’s not an original idea (I think it’s from an old issue of Cloth Paper Scissors) but still has my ‘spin’ on them. I’m thinking of maybe naming them and adding a little tag on each one with their own stories.
What do you think? Too much? (LOL)
old bottles (courtesy of son2) filled with faux pearls, or glitter and embellished with bits and bobs and this and that








 
I'm kind of proud of these (sorry, shameless boasting!)  I chew an inordinate amount of gum  and have way too many old plastic gum containers. I've been racking my brain, trying to think of something to do with them. I came up with these, 'snow peep luminaries'. A little glitter, a boa and a battery operated tea light and violà!

  2. Brilliant idea!...they will look great on the display and I'm sure they will be a sell out. Putting a story to them will make them so personal. Love the last one, it reminds me of Zsa Zsa Gabor:)

  4. Oh wow, I love them!! All of them, to be specific ;) What a great idea! Good luck with the slaving - what a season this is!! At times it seems to me Christmas is a whole lot of work for two days of eating, but hey, it's worth it! (or is it? ;))
