It Is A Who Dat Friday And A Good Friend's Birthday!!!

So what does that mean?
Here in NOLA it means you best be sporting your Black and Gold Baby!!!
I certainly am...
This is a dual purpose shirt.  
Half Saints (football) and half Hornets (basketball) but they are not the Hornets no longer.  I will not discuss that right now but anyway I am showing my love!
I should go venture outside to see how much love our city is showing today but it is just too HOT for that!

Anyhoo...
what have you all been doing?

It is my good friends birthday today.  She is flirting with thirty!  Hahaha...Flirty Thirty...who came up with that?  
I found this cute diy tutorial on sisterstuff blog which had me asking, now why didn't I think of that?. 

It is a bouquet of Blow Pops!!!
Finding a box that would fit 30 Blow Pops was kind of a challenge.  At first it was becoming a bit overwhelming and then I said...self, just get on with it.  Stop over thinking this!!!  Once I did that everything just fell into place.  I used tissue paper and Mod Podge to decorate the outside of the box.

I then added my own little bits and pieces and even stuck a Rolo in the middle so she will have one to grow on and voilà! 
Hahaha!!!
I would of liked to of placed it on her desk at work so everyone would know it was her birthday but she is out celebrating her day.  Bravo Ty!  
Birthdays mean a lot to me because on this day our world, as we knew it, was falling apart.  We had no idea what was happening and our sky was literally falling!  So we struggled (and so did another person) and we went through this great transformation to come out on the other side and here we are!  
So celebrate my friend and have a great day!  

Everyone have a great day as well!
WHO DAT!!!

The Risk to Bloom

It all started with an acorn button and grew from there. In an earlier post I mentioned this button swap blog hop, that I am participating in, and how I was immediately drawn to the acorn button.  Every day I would hold it in my hand, feel its essence, exam it, and then put it down.  This lasted for about 2 weeks. Then I remembered I had etched an oak tree on to brass when making buttons for my partner Kylie of Lotus Out Loud .  And... so begins the journey of creating something with this wonderful acorn button, which only started yesterday. Haha!  Etched brass was copper riveted to a piece of oak.  Merci beaucoup Papi for finding some oak!   I am using what Jesse taught me in his workshop .  It was the first time trying his technique.  It worked beautifully! The riveted brass was then captured with a piece of pierced copper. Voila! And then the day came  when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to bloom.

Pepe Jump Ring Maker...New Is Not Always Better...

For the follow up (2014) on jump ring makers go here . Introducing Pepe's new AND improved Jump Ring maker... When I received my new jump ring maker I knew the new model was more compact but did not expect it to be so unstable.  It was precarious but I accepted it.  After all I will have jump rings galore with a single swipe!  The outcome outweighed the little difference and yes...I am lazy!  hahaha!!! To the bench I go to test things out. Test No. 1 The first set of jump rings turned out great!  I was satisfied.   ☺ I then received an email saying that the top plate (cover) that came with the system was too thick and needed to be replaced.  Okay.   I receive the new plate but did not test it out until some friends were over and wanted a demo.  Well...it was difficult to place the handpiece collar over the plate.  It did not fit over the coil holding device very well.  I had to finagle it to go in and when I started sawing the handpiece did not move sm

South of the border in Oaxaca, Mexico

I've been idle for too long but I have lots to share with you! Oh where to begin?   Let me first say that Oaxaca is a place full of beautiful people.  The city was VERY safe and the place we stayed in was absolutely wonderful.  And the very best thing about it all...the plane ride was only 3.5 hours from New Orleans!  Gotta love that. I don't want to bore you with all the details so I think I will stick to the art side of things.  Oaxaca is known for their textiles but I didn't take any pictures of any textiles.  :(  Lo siento. There was this place that we stumbled upon called La Mano Magica  #26 Macedonio Alcala 203, Centro .  This place had a variety of high end pieces for the taking and a price.  Off to the side we noticed a show going on and I immediately knew the work.  It was the work of ceramicist Alfonso Castillo.  One of the the great folk artist of Mexico.   Eeeee!!! How exciting! FAMILIA CASTILLO Candelabro Ofrenda a mi papa Alfonso died i
