Almost Done ... Parade of UnAward Winning Artisan Projects

Well-well-well, I just have to say (again!) a great big thank you to those of you who have been coming back day after day to see what I submitted for the SU Artisan Award contest. It's been really fun being able to share things that I put so much of myself in, and your comments have helped take the sting out of not winning! Hugs to ya!!

I threw this framed art together as my very last project ... I really struggled with it, as I started out with a multi-holed mat in this frame, and just could NOT get it to work ... taking the mat out and putting everything in one "hole" made it much easier!!

I only have ONE more thing to share ... and it is the thing that I am most proud of. I got the idea and tried to talk myself out of it, as I knew it would take a LOT of time. But once I had the idea in my head, I knew I would settle for nothing less ... stay tuned ...

Don't forget to go see what Jan made ... her 3D/altered projects are so good it almost HURTS!! She rocks, that's for sure!!
