4. Funky Ear Shoes

Yesterday I started with something that I loved but hasn't fit into my decor for years. I kept her in boxes, shoved her in closets, and on my craft shelves where she is most always in the way. What I created--earrings:

This was my shoe shopper. Isn't-wasn't-she adorable?



I still love shoe shopping, but I live in flip flops and boots and am a little more practical these days.

I did keep her head, the shoes (which I took off her head) and the shoe shopper sign for future projects.

3. Fairybot

I went through a drawer today and just grabbed random stuff--including the bottom of fairy figurine that broke in half, which became the bottom of my little robot kind of girl. (I of course kept the top half of the fairy -- wings in tact --for a future project.)   

Although I started with everything in the top right frame in the picture below, I just didn't like anyway I put the spoon or the flower, so I stuck them back in the drawer--just kidding I threw them away. 

Oh, I almost forgot.  I did add the syringe pen to the girl and snapped a photo.  I think I like this expression best. I love those syringe pens, especially around Halloween, but the truth is, I just don't use them.  I have a pen fetish. 

2. Munching on Fairies

I can't help walking through my house thinking, what can I discard?  I find myself surveying bookshelves, wall decor, and furniture.  I know the couch and chair will go when I move, and also the cheapy  bookshelves, but I am not tossing them out now.  Since the furniture is off limits--for now (imagine doing something creative with a couch without destroying it for the next person)--I am left with all my other stuff, meaning things I have become attached to or they wouldn't be in my house. This may be harder than I thought; but maybe it will just be more cathartic than I anticipated.  

This is what I created tonight:

It was a treasured fairy fountain from Partylite that I just had to have.  Isn't she beautiful? 

I love fairies but as you can see from the picture their wings have broken off and I can only find one set of wings.  Unfortunately, most of my fairies are missing wings--I wonder if that means anything? 

Also, I love the idea of fountains, but the truth is, they mostly drive me nuts -- especially in my bedroom.  This has been gathering dust for many years and I have contemplated getting rid of it many times, but just couldn't.   

I will keep the wings, and the little wingless fairy for a future art project but the rest is being discarded.  

1. Makeup Under the Bathroom Sink

Today I decided to tackle the makeup under the bathroom sink. I had forgotten that I had cleaned out the makeup a while back, but still had enough to discard.

I created this...

From this.
