On Saturday, March 1, I will have the pleasure of teaching a jewelry workshop at <a href="http://heavenlyscentherbfarm.com/">Heavenly Scent Herb Farm</a> , where we will make this beautiful, vintage style necklace. Oodles of rhinestones, crystals, rosary segments, wire wrapped beads and chain segments will make up the chain portion of this long, mid-chest piece and the pendant is made of an ornate escutcheon (antique keyhole) and skeleton key. You will learn many basic jewelry skills, how to distress and age metal, how to build layers and design your own chain out of found objects and beads. Class size is limited, so if you are interested, check out mid-<a href="http://heavenlyscentherbfarm.com/">Heavenly Scent Herb Farm</a>'s website for sign up info. Don't miss out!<br />

My favorite time is upon us. To me, the "holidays" that most people consider Christmas and New Year's, actually begins just before Halloween. That is when my mind goes into overdrive with plans, creations and decorations to come. Soon I will be taking the black and orange decor down and replacing it with white and silver. But before that happens, I clicked a few shots of some of the Halloween vignette's around our house~ Happy Haunting!!<br />

Well when I saw this months image to be used, I couldn't resist, so here is my entry, an altered journal using an antique photograph of 2 adorable children. If you would like to join in, or check it out to see what an art challenge is all about, take a look at <a href="http://www.mind-wideopen.blogspot.com/">Mind Wide Open Challenge</a>. And even if you aren't up to participating, you can always vote for your favorite artwork each month, so join the fun!!<br />

As hard as it is to stay away from my blog, it is equally as hard to find the time to post here, and lately my posts have been few and far between. Please do not take this personally, all of you faithful followers! No, no, no. I still enjoy following fellow artists and admirers and staying in tune with what is being created in your studios, and also love showing off what is being created in mine. But because of the lack of time, some things have taken front seat, and others have taken back seat. For that reason, I am asking you to please visit my page at Facebook ( <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/QueenBe-Mixed-Media-Art/173128222734744?ref=hl">QueenBe Mixed Media Art</a> ) so you won't miss a beat on my sales, promotions, creations, ideas and thoughts. I will still occasionally visit my blog, afterall, it was my first born of social media and I am not about to abandon it entirely. But until those random and occasional posts continue, please stop by and see me at Facebook!</span></i>QueenBehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17150300893371936514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-60493993778213917032013-02-15T10:59:00.002-05:002013-02-15T10:59:59.621-05:00Thinking Spring~!~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My tastes seem to be leaning towards soft, Spring colors lately! I've been sewing up a storm layering, sorting and assembling some fabric collages that are really making me anxious for warmer, sunnier weather. Michigan is definitely not known for warm sunny winter days, so until the real thing moves in, I will have to settle for these bright, "sunny" pieces.

It seems I spend more of my online time at Pinterest, and of course listing at Etsy so I guess blogland has taken back seat, but I still do enjoy updating here once in a while! This new year I have some projects in mind, and the first one I tackled was teaching myself the art of wire wrapping. I've been attracted to it for some time, and after some great but simple tutorials on it, I think I managed to pick up a trick or two. Here are some finished bracelets, available in my <a href="http://www.queenbe.etsy.com/">Etsy shop</a>~<br />

Call me crazy, but I have been listening to Christmas Carol's since before we carved our Halloween pumpkins. My cat Bowie, who I lost just a week ago, had a little bed in my art room, and I think he loved listening to the festive music as much as I do. Somehow he always looked even more content and cozy when Bing Crosby or Dean Martin played softly in the background. Yes I miss him dearly. But create I must, and recently I filled a custom order of winter white Christmas stockings at <a href="http://www.queenbe.etsy.com/">my shop</a>, and these are the results. I love making these stockings. It gives me a chance to work with my favorite "color", white, and my favorite old lace, rhinestones and buttons. The only thing that could make it better is having my Bowie Cat by my side, softly purring to the music. .

They say life can change in an instant, and this certainly isn't just for humans..... the animals in our lives are not strangers to sudden illness, such is the case with our Bowie Cat. Halloween night will never hold the same fond memories for me. As we were readying our youngest for trick or treating, all focus went from her, immediately over to Bowie. <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">One minute he was fine and literally the next minute he had lost all use of his back legs and whole back end, spine and all. I will never lose the image from my head of him dragging himself just before I gently picked him up. We rushed him to a 24 hour vet and after testing, they determined he had underlying heart disease, and a blood clot that had dislodged. My heart had already sunk low, but hearing her words to come, put my heart in places it had not been in a long time. The vet said that 9 times out of 10 when a cat has this happen, it cuts off all blood supply to the back end, and within hours the cat could be dead. She said it is one of the most painful things a cat can go through, but even in his pain he seemed so content to lay in my arms. Bowie was given a 5- 10 % chance of survival, IF we rushed him to MSU veterinary school and he had surgery to dissolve the blood clot but she reminded us that he would still have a weakened heart already and she highly recommended letting him go without suffering any longer.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">So I held him in my arms as he went to sleep, his little head resting in the palm of my hand. We brought him home to bury, with so many of our other creatures. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"> Bowie was my little shadow and followed me wherever I went. He was definitely a cat of routine, and nightly he would remind me when it was time for bed so he could lay on my lap. Each morning, literally like clockwork, he would jump up into bed seconds after my alarm went off, to nudge me awake either by poking me gently with a paw, or touching his little nose to my face. Every hour inbetween he was there. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">All I can say is how very very fortunate I feel that we were here at home when it happened. We could have been away for the day, or wake up to him paralyzed in the morning, or worse, at our cabin for 2 days then come home to him already gone. He would have suffered completely alone., no people who loved him surrounding him. When I think of that, I remember the words I once gave to a good friend who had just lost a dear pet.... that we need to be thankful for the small things, and let the positive somehow overshadow the negative. RIP Bowie Cat. </span>QueenBehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17150300893371936514noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-58779938960824302272012-10-26T20:44:00.001-04:002012-10-26T20:44:26.175-04:00White Christmas~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My favorite "color" during the winter months is most certainly white. And off white, and pearl white and eggshell white...... you get the picture! I am addicted to it, all shades dark and light and inbetween! Here are some winter white Christmas ornaments I've been working on. Each one a little different than the next~ Available in my<a href="http://www.queenbe.etsy.com/"> Etsy Shop </a>.QueenBehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17150300893371936514noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-79236193233638484602012-10-25T16:35:00.004-04:002012-10-25T16:35:50.176-04:00A Visit to The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow....<br />

"Welcome to one of America's oldest cemeteries. Dutch tenant farmer's and their 'huisvrows' Revolutionary War soldiers and the legendary characters of Washington Irving's 'Legend of Sleepy Hollow' are all buried in the graveyard, including the world famous ghost of The Headless Horseman, who, according to legend, begins his nightly ride here."<br />
<br />
One of the highlights of our recent trip to New York was this cemetery. The history, the peacefulness, and the eerieness all play a part. Our family has always been fascinated by the story written by Washington Irving, and to see headstones that the story characters were modeled after...I couldn't think of a better thing to see and do just before Halloween!

I have been sorely neglecting my blog and hope to make up for lost time...... beginning now! I've been having fun in my work room creating one white Christmas thing after another, and these are my latest creations.... I love the way they turned out and hope you do too!! </i></span>QueenBehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17150300893371936514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-86521081752455413652012-08-24T12:35:00.001-04:002012-08-24T12:35:07.683-04:00Fun in the Studio~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The annual Heavenly Scent Herb Farm Summer Faire is quickly approaching (tomorrow to be exact!!) and recently I decided to boost my variety of jewelry I will be selling there, and at my <a href="http://www.queenbe.etsy.com/">Etsy shop </a>. This is what I came up with.... some hand formed heart pendants embellished with beautiful antique chain pieces, tattered ribbon, charms and found objects galore. Each one is completely one of a kind, durable and lightweight to wear.

<span style="font-size: large;">I</span> was recently informed that my art workspace would be published in the fall issue of "Cloth Paper Scissors STUDIO" Magazine, and I'm thrilled to say that it is now on bookshelves. The lady behind the counter at Barnes and Noble commented on the fact that I was purchasing 3 copies of the same issue.... with a raised eyelid. I just nodded and smiled.

Made from some antique pocketwatch cases I recently acquired..... little wearable shadowboxes holding all sorts of found objects. Making these little gems was so much fun and I couldn't help but wonder what stories the pocketwatch cases had to tell, if only. Who they belonged to, where they may have traveled, what sights they must have seen. Fascinating little remnants of history.QueenBehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17150300893371936514noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-12871385218365187192012-06-24T13:14:00.000-04:002012-06-24T13:14:09.702-04:00Mini Heart Art Addiction<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With some old recycled cardboard, some paint ,stamp pads, lace, buttons and a few embellishments ,I have found a new addiction. Altered mini heart collages. Each one is so completely different from the next. I love to lay out an assortment of do-dad's and play around with what goes with what. It also gives me an excuse to stop doing "art" and start making some special embellishments that I always seem to be short on. Especially the tiny paper banners and photo slide frames. I can't seem to ever get enough of those :) If I had some more cardboard I just might go and make some more right now!!QueenBehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17150300893371936514noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-33167957427379275682012-06-18T08:59:00.005-04:002012-06-18T14:38:52.050-04:00~Good News (And a Complimentary Magazine!)

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">......And most of you know what THAT means. I received word the other day that a few of my Halloween collages are included in the SUMMER 2012 issue of Somerset Studio Gallery magazine. Better news yet, is that I share the pages with some of my favorite art people/ friends! </span><a href="http://nancylefko.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Nancy Lefko </a><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> and </span><a href="http://thewhytepaper.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Pat May </a><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">are included in this issue, and what a thrill to be among such wonderful, warm, talented people. </span>
