Here is a custom sock monkey I made for a member of my West Michigan Etsy team.
Dulce of http://www.themonkeyshop.etsy.com/ makes some really cute sock monkeys that are a bit different from the usual sock monkey. Check out her shop, they are too cute!
Since we have a membership to the local botanical gardens, we try to go frequently, especially now during butterfly season. In between attempts to keep my youngest child from tearing leaves off the plants or trying to get into the indoor creek, I get to look at the beautiful butterflies. Here is my attempt at a monarch type. We are enjoying our own little glass butterfly to look at here at home. :)
I am a full time mother of 3 and I love making beads, jewelry, and other fun crafty things whenever I get the time. My goal is to make and use only the top quality. The glass beads are made on a torch by me with Italian Moretti/Effetre, CIM, ASK, Bullseye, and Lauscha glass rods. All of the beads are kiln annealed.
