It is 10:55 am and I am EXHAUSTED!
My flight coming home yesterday was cancelled and they put me on a later one
I got home at MIDNIGHT! not cool! But at least I am finally home!
I have so many pics to share but I need to figure out how to get them
from my IPAD to my blog! Remember I AM NOT computer/electronics savvy!
One of these times I will get it together! (Apparently this is not one of those days!)
I can see how to get them on facebook and on my blog but only one at a time-
and believe me that will take a LONG time as there are many pics.
Please tell me if you know how to do this!

Meanwhile I want to show you my most favorite project I for CHA!
Probably because it was so different for me, but I just love it!
I made it for the DCWV booth- the papers are all brand new DCWV papers;
the pattern turquoise background, the veil, the dress.
The jewelry and beads are all Blue Moon Beads also from DCWV.
It was a large bowl approximately 13x13.
I drew and painted her on watercolor paper using Design Memory Craft
gesso, Gelatos, PITT Artist pens.
This was the original drawing I submitted to DCWV for approval for the project.
I was so excited when it was approved it was so hard not to share this with you!!!
If you want to see the rest of the DCWV booth you caeck it out here,
A close up - I loved doing her "henna " tattoos,
I thought this was much prettier than the bangles I had originally drawn.
Adding beads to the fabric - I used Scrap Happy Glue.
(Modeling paste & Gel Medium for all the other beads and jewelry pieces.)
I used modeling paste and Gelatos to get that gorgeous color and hold
the tiny beads in place. I added some sheer fabrics on top of the glitter paper for effect.
I would do this again- it was so much fun to make!

I will work on my CHA photos and get them up by Friday!

She's gorgeous! I love the added beads, just finishes it perfectly. Sounds like you had a ball at CHA. Can't wait to hear more and see pictures :-) My guess for getting the pictures to your blog would be to get them from your iPad to iPhoto on your computer. Then you can just do what you normally do.
That project is beautiful! I am loving all the beads on it too! And thank you so much, I'm so excited to have won.....emailing you now!
Stunning!!
I can see why you love this so much!!
Amazing!!
Love that you added the henna on the hands!!
Rita, that is the most gorgeous thing! Stunning!
Rita!!! This is so beautiful!
Love the gems!
Come play at my house!!!!! Looks like soo much fun!! Glad you had such a great time. looking forward to your pics. Love ya!
This turned out more gorgeous than I had imagined in my head when you were describing it!!! GORGEOUS!
Stunning! Thanks for the close ups, I saw all the details (and work) you put onto this. I love it! TFS
Your project is absolutely stunning! What will they do with it now? Will they give it to you? I wish I could help you with downloading your pictures, but I'm probably even less tech savvy than you are. I would love to see your photos from CHA.
Nope- I wish I could keep it but they use it for other shows and displays. They provided all the product. It was hard letting that your st one go - most companies you get your stuff back after CHA.
INCREDIBLE, Rita! For some reason, she makes me think of Proverbs31. Instead of looking worn out, she looks vibrant, bursting with life!
She is phenomenal - oh to see this in person and really catch all the gleam of the beads! Your drawing ability is fantastic!
