New dictionary book page collage art prints

I love books old, vintage, picture books, textbook, almost any books! 

I love old paper and really love the old paper in old books!

I love recycling, reclaiming, upcycling and reusing!

So what is more perfect for me than book page collages?

 Great way to show off wonderful vintage images like

Vintage Sunbeam Motorcycle

A Dog for everyone

 Vintage textbook image of Pecan varieties

And of course Mr.Gustave Eiffel's Tower!

Many many more and hopefully something for everyone!

Dictionary Book Page Art Prints

I love vintage images, paper, books, and monochromes. So vintage images printed on dictionary pages are just perfect for me! Check out all in my Artfire shop Txalteredart!

Vintage cameras, ladies hosiery, chess board and so many more interesting and aesthetically simple designs.

Lacy Romantic Shabby Chic Cuff bracelets

I thought I would sort my laces, ribbons and such after the move (still on going) to my new little "studio". I did pretty well the first 30 minutes or so. By the time the second 30 minutes had elapse I was deep into cuff making.
Combining this lace with that lace, digging out a little ribbon here and there. And totally destroying all my sorting previously achieved!
But I think it was all well worth it! My new cuffs are so pretty and I enjoyed my day a lot more creating than cleaning!

Customer requested resizing for Dishwasher sign

Getting ready for the No Kill in the Hills Bike Run this weekend

My newest Dishwasher Magnets

My newest unique fabric Dishwasher dirty clean magnets! Perfect for the holiday when we all know that things can get pretty hectic. We don't want to be washing those dirty dishes over and over again!

And don't forget they are perfect for that "different" present.

If shabby cottage is not for you how about

Weatherproof non-resin Scrabble Tile Pendant

Birdcages, period furniture, and lanterns
Unusual scrabble tile pendants

I had to find another way to make scrabble tiles pendants that hold up to long term wear because I can not use resin.
These look great even without the heavy shiny coating.
And I do believe these are even much more weather resistant.
And I am very close to saying water proof.
I soaked a couple in a bowl of water for 24 hours with no problem.
Now I would not recommend this but they survived it so I am not too worried about a rain shower.

Txalteredart Facebook Store

Love the Payvment Facebook stores! Easy, Fun and another outlet for online sellers to reach out to possible customers!  And of course show off to friends and family all your great finds and creations.

Packin' Totes

My extensive experience of doing trade shows and such caused my friend to request I help him out on his first endeavors.   He was doing the local firearm shows, not that he sells them, but he was trying them out as a venue to pass out business cards for his Enforcementt-shirts.ecrater.com which caters to police and other enforcement agencies. Well being the obsessive seller I am, I thought "Now what can I sell?".

     Voila! My Packin' series of canvas totes.

Shabby Victorian Dessert Pin Cushion Warm Roses

Cottage chic pin cushion in a vintage glass dessert cup for the sewing room or any where in your shabby county decor.
Doily, lace, reclaimed jewelry bits and pieces, floral fabric,and stuffing make up this rich little dessert!

It was too too fun to make! Might have to make another!

A little help organizing: Scissor and Needle holders

Great way to keep your embroidery or sewing scissor handy! The ribbon lets you hang this scissor holder close by and what a great useful and decorative bonus the little needle book is!

Even great for those who don't often have need of their needles and scissors. Sure beats digging around in that old drawer!

 Find these scissor holder and needle book at Txalteredart on Artfire or at Txalteredart on Etsy.

Protest is Patriotic

I was watching "US vs John Lennon" directed by David Leaf and John Scheinfeld last September right after all the hubbub about the "Tea Parties". I believe it was on a clip from the 1968 Democratic Convention that I saw a young woman carrying a sign that just hit me as one of those things that we just often seem to forget. The sign simply said "Protest is Patriotic".

Being a compulsive "maker" I had to make these pinbacks. Every once in a while when I am wearing mine I notice someone stop, do a double take, and I think "they got it".

Petite Jotter Note pad Pendants

One of the little jotter notepads that I had such fun making!

(Well maybe not so much the sore hand from punching all those little circles)

A week-end alone...well but for the cats

And I got controll of the tv. Set up a folding table in the living room. Brought out my felt, thread, and hair clip suff. Put the cats in the back room!!! And had a great time making these Embroidered Felt French Barrettes! I even had the time to list them in my Txalteredart Etsy shop
Well as they say "all good things must end" and "too much of a good thing..."

So back to jumping up in the middle of working to find someones missing flip-flops, explain to the college grad why the shed key won't work in the back door, and deal with the ever "there's nothing to eat" (translated: COOK DINNER! I'M STARVING!).

Life goes on!

I needed to Cheer Up!

I was being grumpy. I was complaining! I had a mean sour face on!

I needed to cheer up so I made these cheery, cheery bright little home and song bird brooches.

They made me smile.

Sisters Romance and Magic

Let me introduce you to a pair of sisters. Romance and Magic are, of course, slightly primitive, lightly fanciful and alluringly whimsical fairies. They turn up in so many places, often when you least expect them. At times they are together. At times they roam alone.

These are original mixed media 2 ½” x 3 ½” ACEO
Watercolor paper is mounted on mat board and sealed.
I used paper, watercolor, color pencils, acrylics, ink, sealers and glues.
