It's a wreath!

I had never made a wreath before and I love this one! It took a really long time but, it was worth it! The frame is just a styrofoam base that is covered in moss. I used a small book of paper so the designs matched well. The flowers are attached with hot glue with a wire spiral in the middle of them. I plan to hang it up with a dark brown ribbon.



Necklace!

I loved making this necklace for a gift because I have never gotten to work with such nice materials. The metal is sterling silver, the beads are crystals and pearls and then the longest strand is a birth stone necklace that I just attached. The gift was for an August birthday so I first bought the birthstone then picked everything else out going off that color.

Idaho Falls Temple Drawing

I love to draw and do all kinds of art projects. I thought I would start a blog to start showing them to people and get the word out! Hope you like them!

I did this piece of art for my cousin when she got married in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. The background is pencil and the flowers and branches are colored pencil. Someday I will get a better camera to show my artwork off!
