My Artwork in Different Uses

I love to paint with watercolors. The paints are transparent and show off more little highlights better than anything else I have ever painted with. So from the paintings I enjoy making them into different items for you to wear, coasters magnets and prints. Here is some of what I do.
Here are my coasters drying. They are 4 inch tile with a cork back. Then have a protective coat on them and will not fade or peel off. 

 My glass magnets are very durable. I have a daughter and if a artwork can be broken by her I look for other options. These have been dropped and stay in great shape.
On  of my favorites is the necklaces. They are 1 inch around on a 16 inch chain. I love the way the colors glow under the glass.


The way I create all my items is a great photograph. Then I Photoshop it to make it into the size I need. When that is done I print them at a local print shop on matte paper. (Gloss does not work.) From there I cut them down and Modge Podge them 3 times on both sides. From there each project is different. I would be glad to tell you all about it. What project would you like to know about?

World's Best Bubbles

Bubble


1 C of Joy soap (this brand works the best)
1 Tbs of Glycerin (buy at the drug store)
1 gallon of water

Take a gallon container and add the Joy and glycerin. Fill to top with water. Let it sit overnight with lid off. Pour out and have fun. The longer it sits the bigger the bubble get.

Pour it into to a pan and get your fingers wet. Use a string that is tied into a loop and try to make bubbles. I have made 9 foot long bubbles just can not close them.
