Hope all is well out there...

Singing in the Sun!

It's going to be 90 degrees tomorrow! Summer definitely has arrived! TWEET!

Have a wonderful day, Friends!

I Think I'm FINALLY Getting There!

I'm always trying to find just the right BLUEBIRD FACE. I've needle felted quite a few of these birdies, as they seem to be the most popular item in my Etsy store.

Like I posted in my last entry, I try different things in the

"Search For The Perfect Expression."

Different head shapes, different eyes, different eye-to-head ratio...always in search of what would satisfy my inner muse.

Anyway....

I finally got my paws on a Re-Ment box from the "Fairy Tale Tableware" collection that contained a tiny bluebird, much like the Lefton Bluebirds that I aspire to recreate (with my own flair, of course. Don't want to FLAT OUT copy!)

For those unfamiliar with RE-MENT, it's a great source of miniature stuff. I really can't accurately describe what Re-Ment is without going off on a "tangent," so you should check them out if you are curious: http://www.re-ment.co.jp/

(Oh, and don't bother going to Chinatown in NYC and looking for any Re-Ment like I did...it's a JAPANESE company. Woopsie!)

So this is the bird I received when I got the Re-Ment box from Ebay:

Are you still with me? I'm almost done!

So this teeny tiny birdie got me

excited and I put aside my other

projects momentarily to try a crack 

at it once again. I needle felted a

bird late last night and was just

getting giddier and happier with

each poke!

Here is THE FACE! 

I LIKE IT!

(My hubby says it looks chubby.)

Now, I understand others may not even see any difference, and that's okay. I don't expect anyone to understand what I'm babbling about anyway! But I was excited, and thought I would share it on the Ol' Blog. Perhaps other crafters, artists, BoneSmiths, and Creatives that also struggle with their own nit-picky-ness may come upon this and know

THEY ARE NOT ALONE.

More Bluebirds of Happiness Flying In!

In the middle of adding five more bluebirds to the Etsy shop! 

They all got flowers this time!
