Triptych

I think this is the piece that I am most proud of. The clowns are hanging by threads in niches that are about 3/4" deep. I think the over all size is about 9 inches tall.
I know the niches on the sides are 2" by 4".

It was made for a swap so I didn't get to keep it. I think I'm going to make a similar piece to keep.

Halloween ATC Swap

These are the ATCs I made for the Halloween ATC swap on Craftster.






Trick or Treat Tin

This is the tin I made for Crafty_Dame for a swap on Craftster. She wanted "Victorian Goth." The special bits are the weasel bones & beetle wings.

Crafty Bitch - My big summer project

Rackycoo and I decided to do a personal swap for an shrine in an altoid tin. She wanted the theme of "Crafty Bitch". After much hemming and hawing and digging thru google image searchs, I hit on the idea of using St. Catherine (the patron saint of artists) in a more modern persona, a.k.a., Crafty Bitch. Inside the tin is a prayer card, two tea light candles, a bottle of glitter with a teeny pair of scissors tied to it with a piece of ribbon.

Then I called upon my brilliant friend Sandy to help me come up with something to put on a "prayer card". This was the result:

O Miraculous Crafty Bitch, we prostrate
before Your Image and beseech You to cast
your inspiring look on our troubled scissors.

Let Your tender Heart, so inclined to glitter and ribbon,
be softened by our prayers and grant us that spark of
genius for which we ardently implore You.
Take from us all dried-out glue, all dull cardstock
and misplaced stamp pads with which we are laden.
For Your Sacred Craftiness's sake, hear our prayers
and send us inspiration and aid that we may praise You,
with Michael's and Hobby Lobby, for ever and ever. Amen.


Trying to catch up

I guess its time to catch up. I just realized I haven't posted since June. I spent the majority of the summer in a total craft funk that I'm finally beginning to haul my big ol' bum out of. Most of this post will be tags for a swap on Craftster and a couple of other random projects.

Newest Chunky Pages, Tip In Page and some Inchies

Why can I never take a straight picture of anything? Everything always crooked.

I also seem to be on a blue/green kick.

Bear with me

I've decided to do some work on the blog, making it a bit more my style.

I also changed the name from Sentimementos to Amaryllisroze, because that's what most people on the interwebs know me as, but rest assured, I'm still me!

For my sister

I made this for my sister. The girl in the picture is our mom when she was about 4 or 5 years old and the woman behind her is her mother. I couldn't get a good picture without glare on the photo.

More Tip In and Chunky pages

This is a selection of tip in pages and chunky book pages for a couple of swaps on Craftster.
