I'm always juggling so many art projects some get done, but lost in my house of ART!!! First I'm a nester. A word I heard from ("Kerry Fisher-Princess Lia's") mouth. That theres women who love to bring things home and add to the eclectic mix of ones house. Then fluff all the things up as we add new treasures!!!

I decided to decorate a jacket for the next Somerset Altered Couture. I got out all my Big Buttons and more. I hand sewed Buttons into a heart Shape on the back of a Burgundy Velvet Jacket. On the front of the jacket I just edged the collar and lapels. In the mid 1980's I fell in Love with then Dress Designer Patrick Kelly. Patrick is no longer with us and his life can be googled!! When I fell in Love with his Button Heart Dresses I had boxes and boxes of Vintage Buttons. I had been showing and making Button Jewelry for dept. stores. I had to make a Button Dress after a salesgirl insulted me when one of my daughter's Jenny who was about 6 at the time said: "Mommy why don't you make you a Button Dress like this one? This dress is $2000.00 and you could make one for you. I won't go into the story, but I did just that. I decorated a sweater and then backs of jean jackets and sweat shirts!! I t was fun and they sold the minute they were put on a hanger and on the boutique floor. Word got and the newspaper tracked me down and did a featured article on all Artistic Clothing!!</span></strong></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;">Here is what I made for Stampington!!</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;"></span></strong></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;">I had so much fun making this jacet and looking a some of my forgotten Buttons!!</span></strong></div>Lynnette April Over The Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13210272471236226534noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026708405154435930.post-88166762668037825502009-03-18T13:44:00.000-07:002009-03-18T19:22:35.845-07:00Madonna, Madonna!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWORal195klT5cj-4-ucCGJs5Inbb8kSEswnN1FNP5qdPI2r3D3YHF1e3r6cC3iRLzwNdr_i9w5eJ0ZN0R_0XUUhQFb5fYKZjmw1f3v_JMBIL0OMNWePXxC6RRICb9xI7iNxRtUpfMkWM/s1600-h/Madonna+Big+Heart%231.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314717336248336754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWORal195klT5cj-4-ucCGJs5Inbb8kSEswnN1FNP5qdPI2r3D3YHF1e3r6cC3iRLzwNdr_i9w5eJ0ZN0R_0XUUhQFb5fYKZjmw1f3v_JMBIL0OMNWePXxC6RRICb9xI7iNxRtUpfMkWM/s320/Madonna+Big+Heart%231.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmt-DvqM4WI8iwWYZ8CcCzcn82rozQ5hpeRobboBsCgOi0pQ4tUOj3CAKHsOLyb-UvJ14qIlnJRs_NH8v-7Xma6k3w8hGDcqzwS8VA2Q9OIGZLUVSzTQcqoCZl1rY_UTrf1EyQCMGxfgs/s1600-h/Madonna+Center+Front+Heart%231.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314717158954676754" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmt-DvqM4WI8iwWYZ8CcCzcn82rozQ5hpeRobboBsCgOi0pQ4tUOj3CAKHsOLyb-UvJ14qIlnJRs_NH8v-7Xma6k3w8hGDcqzwS8VA2Q9OIGZLUVSzTQcqoCZl1rY_UTrf1EyQCMGxfgs/s320/Madonna+Center+Front+Heart%231.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0IzmkMBwl1RDkPcm46jDq4iD4-4sCnxhqeghNVELQeM6ROzWreIb72Jb7bnj0ncSt_7ijnaNwupRTUPlF7SEC2HTF_dTQV3OXorv9IqJj_Y1cRC1IlnCx2bts5J1H2710Fz_DadHonFk/s1600-h/Madonna+Big+Heart%232.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314716869842638002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0IzmkMBwl1RDkPcm46jDq4iD4-4sCnxhqeghNVELQeM6ROzWreIb72Jb7bnj0ncSt_7ijnaNwupRTUPlF7SEC2HTF_dTQV3OXorv9IqJj_Y1cRC1IlnCx2bts5J1H2710Fz_DadHonFk/s320/Madonna+Big+Heart%232.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">I am so excited to have the front of my Madonna Jacket in the next Somerset's Altered Couture!!

I was working on a handbag to send in on a Somerset Haute Handbag call, when I looked at their magazine rack and I counted 4 of the Stampintons magazines that my art is in!!! I stood there and felt that dizzie feeling for a minute. You know that feeling when time stands still and you have an outer body experience??? Wow ME!!! I know it will never happen again, so I have to talk about it.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The magazines are Weddings 3, Newest Belle Armoire, Somersets Holiday & Celebrations and last is the new Altered Couture!!! I only have 2 art items to be published in the future. I keep missing dead lines because life gets in the way. I never sit still, yet I always feel I'm running behind. I dropped all my art trades as they took up so much time. Right now I'm trying to figure out what to alter for the next issue of Altered Couture??? Plus I want to be in at least one of their Sew issues. I did send off 2 of the most Wonderful Darling Handbags to them yesterday. One of them I made all by myself from scratch. My daughters thought it looked very "Hippie Sixties". I Loved it, and will use it when it comes back home to me!! I said a prayer as I shipped them off. There was a new guy at the "Help You Mail" store and I didn,t think he taped the package good enough. I kept asking for more tape and he just told me "Don't Worry", famous lasts words I heard when a huge shipment of my jewelry got lost. I also had under insured the package of Beautiful Jewelry and it took a year to squeeze the monoey from the shipping co. I will be on pins and needles until I get the arrival postcard!!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Heres my newest addiction!!! Paperwhinsy Collage Sheets!! I sat up half the night making 4x4's and listing them on my etsy for SALE!!! They are so cute!!! I Hope they are a hit on my etsy site. I always need money to make more things to send in to magazines. Lets face it, my house looks like a craft store!!!</div>Lynnette April Over The Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13210272471236226534noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026708405154435930.post-29978267161984766042007-10-14T11:19:00.000-07:002008-12-10T04:58:40.758-08:00Great News!!!!!

I had a Beautiful spread in the last issue!!! How could I top that???? I made a curtain for my daughter-in-law Christine's Craft Room. My son David and his wife have been married now for 9 years. There Wedding was very small and Christine wore her favorite color??? I'm not going to tell what color it was, but not a triditional color!!!! Now I have to re write the article for the Wedding Curtain that has their wedding photos on it. My daughter any now calls me the Art Cloth Collage Wedding Expert!!!</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#33ccff;">This weekend Amy and I went to the" Walter Larsen Antique"</span><span style="color:#33ccff;"> show. Of course we found lots of pretty and fun treasures we had to have!!!! I was on the hunt for inexpensive Cabnet Photos of Babies and Pretty Childeren!!! I found a lot of photos and not all were inexpensive!!! I found lots of Keys!!! One can not have enough keys!!! I plan to put them in necklaces for my etsy shop. Also bought a lot of beautiful fabric trims as did Amy. We had so much fun!!! Amy has a great eye for finding deals and great treasures!! She spotted a hat box from an exclusive, expensive huge boutique called Makoff's. Wyoming oil Barrons wives shopped there for the finest furs, couture clothing, hats, shoes and jewels!!! The box only cost $2.00, it probably cost that to make it in 1965. They sold the most wonderful shoes in all the world!! Can hardly wait until next year when the Antique show comes back. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#33ccff;">I recieced my jewelry back from Somerset that didn't make the next Jewelry call!! I was sad of course. Every time I wear the pieces I'm pawed at by women who want to know where did i get them??? I just sent in another batch of jewels for the next call. I think I'm not creative enough for their jewelry magazine, but I will keep trying until they like some thing!!! My Motto is "Never Give Up"!!!! Hugs!!!! </span></div>Lynnette April Over The Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13210272471236226534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026708405154435930.post-79504686181379734592007-10-06T21:16:00.000-07:002008-12-10T04:58:41.019-08:00Where does The Time Go????<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSjVotUcZDg94KiOlWtEcyWgEFTQfV-A2SzwwD1sWMZTahIpdTKYAx7oyMwDbyniv9ajUQbJ3iYgSMXOMVDgHErlYpXkUcSnNXi4qvruB7Ro0nyr41UqHbgsR-vOo4OQquao8oHNbLov8/s1600-h/Paris.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118447529885959746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSjVotUcZDg94KiOlWtEcyWgEFTQfV-A2SzwwD1sWMZTahIpdTKYAx7oyMwDbyniv9ajUQbJ3iYgSMXOMVDgHErlYpXkUcSnNXi4qvruB7Ro0nyr41UqHbgsR-vOo4OQquao8oHNbLov8/s320/Paris.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#ffccff;">Two weeks ago I was in Las Vegas.

I remember when I first learned how to use a computer and type (Hunt And Peck) typing, I found the Artchix Yahoo group. There was only a few posts a week. Then a year later that all changed!!! I've meet and become friends with so many other artists there. The people who are part of the group are all talented and some of them are even Famous Artists!!!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I Love that Artists who have very busy lives take the time to share their art and encourage everyone to show off their art too!! I've also learned from the Artchix shop website. I was invited to teach an online class, me!!!! It was fun and hope others are using my techniques I shared. Not to bore you all I'm loading a phot from my online Artchix class!!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Have a great day!!!!!</div>Lynnette April Over The Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13210272471236226534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026708405154435930.post-75807458617876182832007-08-17T19:39:00.000-07:002008-12-10T04:58:42.165-08:00Me Published!!!

Grandchild number 4 is now 2 weeks old!!! That makes 4 Darling Little Boys!!! For almost 20 months I've baby sat Oliver who just turned 2. Hes into every thing!! I keep putting all my treasures and art supplies up higher and higher. Oliver wants to touch every thing and be an artist. Oliver <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">thinks</span> he owns the whole world!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;">Baby brother Owen was born August first. Today I had a half day test run with the 2 boys. I felt like a new mother. By the time my daughter came and picked them up I knew I will have to run a tight ship, if I'm to get through every day with the boys. Owens a wonderful baby, Oliver is so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">jealous</span>!!! Hes double trouble in a darling little body.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;">I try to work on art projects every day. I can see some changes for me in the future. Slowly my body is falling apart. I'm disabled from a back injury , blind in one eye and kidney problems. I tell myself the boys are here to slow me down. I can no longer do things women my age can. I feel very short changed. Because of all the boys I see life and art in a new light!!! They are a gift to me. I have the time to see life through their eyes. They love grandma's house with all my art rooms and doing art. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;">I'm going to try and blog about my art and the artistic ventures of the Boys!!! At the end of the day when I'm covered with paints, they think its great!!!</span></div>Lynnette April Over The Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13210272471236226534noreply@blogger.com2
