Meet a new Glitter and Grunge Artist! A Little Blue Sky




Lynn of A Little Blue Sky has joined us on Glitter and Grunge selling her lovely altered domino jewelry, key chains and ornaments. Her holiday ornaments are only $6 and I don't know about you but I am definitely getting one! (or two or three)
Lynn describes her work:

"My artwork has been described as "full of passion." In my collage work, I
like to begin around a phrase, verse or saying and bring images into what
I think the meaning of the phrase is. I love to gather, use color and
unusual items, and prefer words and lots of texture. I began in water
color, moved to acrylics and found true happiness in collage and domino
work."

I love the simplicity of the decorations and that they could be left up all year if one was *ahem* too lazy to put away the holiday decor come January. Not that I would do that or anything...

Join us in the fun and post your Holiday decor pics to the flickr group or link your blogs to yesterday's post. We would love to see!

Post pictures of your holiday decorating to flickr or your blog and then come back here and post the link sin the comments. That way we can all grab a cup of hot chocolate (preferably with peppermint liqueur) and cozy up under a blanket to be inspired by everyones lovely decorating! I have also added a flickr group here for all you flickr users, who wants to be the first to post to it?

Silhouettes In The Snow Garland


Last year A Field Journal posted directions for this beautiful paper garland. There is a pdf dowload for the patterns. I think they would be so lovely cut out of an old book or vintage wall paper.
