Art pendants

More wearable art by me!    This one will be a gift–just this morning I came up with the idea of putting a slightly larger printed version of the art piece on the box that the necklace comes in. 

just a quick post–hope to jump back into attempting etsy again soon!

Another darling I’d like to bring home

This is Andriy, another orphan in Eastern Europe that needs to find a forever family.  He needs one quickly, before he’s placed in an institution where there’s little chance of being adopted.

Here’s what is said of Andriy:

Boy, Born November 24, 2005
Andriy is an active, happy little boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.   He is nearing 4 years old and needs a family quickly!   He was born prematurely, blind as a result.  He does seem to have some vision in his right eye, but his left has a full cataract.   He is very active, able to walk and get around, sociable with his friends and caregivers.   He is mildly cognitively delayed due to his prematurity, but has so much potential in a loving family!

It breaks my heart that Andriy and other children in these orphanages stand the chance of being institutionalized for life if they’re not adopted by a certain age, just because they were born with a disability    These countries seem to want to just hide them away, and they’re denied a life of opportunity and hope.  It’s so unfair!

Here’s the website that I can’t seem to stay away from:

Please remember these little ones….there are so many of them waiting.  Pray for them, and if you feel led, you can donate on the website toward their individual adoption expenses.  So many more children could be rescued if more financial help were available for overseas adoption. 

I so wish I were rich enough to buy a big house and bring home several!  I hope that since God seems to have put these children on my heart, maybe one day He’ll open up a way.

Sneak peek at my latest project

I am resizing my artwork, attaching it to a scrabble tile, and covering with an epoxy coating.  Voila!  It’s wearable art!

The chain and bail are silver in color (the lighting makes them look sort of gold for some reason)

I hope to offer these for sale eventually–for the moment I’m making them as Christmas gifts–perfect for Christmas on a tight budget

Bandit Mask Mania continues

“Lil Green Bandit”

“Pigtailed Bandit”

I know I’m on a kick, but I think the bandit masks are so cute and cool!  I even ordered one for myself, lol.  Watch for another photo shoot with my little sis including one, lol
