Spooky Happy Mail and Sophisticated Happy Mail

I was fortunate enough to be gifted with two very different blog candy winnings this past week. My first is from Mike at Jack and Cat Curio. Mike is a multi-talented, Ranger certified teacher and artist. He has quite an eye for turning out spectacular encaustic work. Would love to take one of his classes.
As you can see, I have the makings for an awesome Halloween project. There are transparencies, skeletons, skulls, word cards and a fantastic vintage photo.

Now to the softer, gentler side. You have to go visit Lynn at her blog Her Creative Spirit. Everything she creates is a reflection of "her creative spirit". You will be so inspired by her beautiful, amazing art.
This gorgeous tag consists of layers of fabrics stitched to a felt backing. It could be used for a bookmark but I would hate to have it concealed in the pages where its beauty would be lost so I am going to hang it in my studio where I can enjoy it daily. And those beads....

If you want to know how Lynn made these fabulous beads you can find her secret here. You won't believe what they are made from!

Thanks Mike and Lynn! Your gifts were so much more fun than the garage sale I had Saturday!!

Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog about the old books. I can't wait to get started on a project. I just have to quit gadding about town with friends!! Got to stop and do some art real soon!!
