GREETINGS FOLKS,
I JUST FINISHED THIS LATEST FUNKY-CHIC NEWSPAPER ROSES & WINE CORK EARRINGS PROJECT FOR MY UTOPIA LAB RECYCLE PROJECTS.
HOW THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT CAME ABOUT WAS...
I WAS OVER AT MY DEAR FRIEND & LITERARY AGENT MARIE BROWNS HOUSE, TO VIEW THE STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH BY PRESIDENT OBAMA (I DON'T HAVE A TV BY CHOICE), I NOTICE A BOWL FULL OF WINE & CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE CORKS ON ONE OF HER SHELVES. I MADE A COMMENT ABOUT THEM AND MARIE STATED THAT SHE HAD A LARGER COLLECTION THAT I COULD CHECK OUT.
AS I WAS RUBBLED THROUGH THESE MANY DIFFERENT CORKS, I NOTICE HOW DECORATIVE THE PRINT WAS AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD MAKE A NICE PAIR OF EARRINGS... SO TO MAKE A LONG DETAILED STORY (THAT HAS BRANCHES OF OTHER STORIES) SHORT.
MARIE SAID I COULD TAKE SOME OF THE CORKS AND THIS IS THE PAIR OF GREEN EARRINGS I DESIGNED.
I WILL HAVE A SAMPLE OF THE EARRINGS AT THE VALENTINES ROSES WORKSHOPS COMING UP, BUT THE EARRINGS TAKE A LONGER TIME TO CREATE, SO WE WILL NOT BE MAKING THEM IN THIS WORKSHOP.
THIS PAIR IS A GIFT TO MARIE...
THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL RUBBISH MARIE, YOU DIVINE-SOUL YOU!!!!
BY THE WAY, FOR THE RECORD... I THOUGHT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SPEECH WAS AMAZING!!!.. AS DID EVERYONE THAT WAS VIEWING THE SPEECH THAT NIGHT AT MARIE BROWNS MAGICAL HOUSE.
FUNKY CHIC DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES EARRING SAMPLE & SOLID COLORED CROCHET CAP BY ME.
THIS IS DONNA RICHARDSON, MY GOOD FRIEND AND MY OPTOMETRIST, SHE WAS NOT FEELING VERY GOOD IN THE SHOT, BUT SINCE I JUST DELIVERED THIS BEADED HAT TO HER, SHE AGREED TO BE MY EARRING & HAT MODEL FOR A QUICK MINUTE,
THANKS DONNA GIRL FRIEND, THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS I LUV'S YOU GIRL!!!,
FEEL BETTER REAL SOON.
PS... I'm going to be at the Arts Horizon Center even if it snows... so if you decide to come at least I'll be there!!!
