Did you know I also have an ArtFire supply store?
Last last year I set up an ArtFire supply store. I have called is Textures. Such a great word Textures...Isn't it? I think it has a perfect meaning for the things I love, find...buy to much and and want to share. My latest find I love so much I feel greedy and want to keep them all myself. But I cannot, so good for you. But I really cannot wait to enamel some pieces and make some jewelry using them.
Stunning hand dyed Shibori Ribbon from Shibori Girl Studio, Glennis Dolce. Shibori is a Japanese term for several methods of dyeing cloth with a pattern by binding, stitching, folding, twisting, or compressing it.
This technique is applied to bias cut 100% silk satin ribbon, which is carefully pole wrapped and dyed and over-dyed multiple times to create stunning, vibrant color variations between the pleats and throughout the ribbon resulting a three dimensional work of art!
I will surely post my creations when I get them made up.
Aren't they Luscious? See them here too.

So proud to show off.....
I have been working on these little buggers for months. I took the pictures and for some reason just did not want to show them off. I worked so hard on them to get them right I just wanted to keep them to myself. But now is the time to show them off. Push them out of the nest you might say. It is a marriage of my two loves: Enameling and Miniatures. I have been a miniaturist for years. When I started to make jewelry and then enameling I have been thinking about these little houses for a while. I finally had a "free" evening...put aside everything else and just started to figure it out. First making then little house out of card stock. Then out of copper. AL LOT of crooked little houses later and I managed to make one. Then I thought I better see if I could actually do it again...more crooked houses....and I managed to get 4 more. The bodies are made of copper, windows cut, roof and door cut and soldered on. I choose to solder them even though it took extra time because I did not want them to fall apart in the kiln. Things also expand and contract when they are heated and cool in the kiln so cracks could form. You can find them on ArtFire: Teka and Zoe.
