#mixedmedia #junkjournalMini Assemblage Day 100 | #the100DayProjectCraftyHope2023-06-22 | This is the final project I completed for my Mini Assemblage 100-Day project that ended on June 1, 2023. The idea for the whole project was to create smaller-than-a-dollar assemblages in order to explore the process.
#mixedmedia #assemblageHandmade Multi Strand Bracelet | #JJBAmbassador #JJBSummerBeadBlastCraftyHope2023-06-20 | Jesse James Beads is hosting a 15-week-long jewelry design challenge that’s called Summer Bead Blast. Each week, there is a new theme. As a Design Ambassador, I have been given the opportunity to create example designs for three of the weeks. However, I intend to try to create something with each of the week’s prompts.
This is the fourth week and has the prompt of creating a Multi-strand design. As I moved around some of the gorgeous beads and chains from @JesseJamesBeads, this pretty three-strand bracelet quickly evolved.
#jewelrymakingMixed Media Prompt Card Week 38 | #CraftyHopePrompts | Blue, Staple, CharcoalCraftyHope2023-06-19 | I'm creating my own prompt deck using playing cards and you are welcome to play along! Each Monday, for the 52 weeks in a year (and 52 cards in a deck), I'll pull three prompts and create the card. (Find my full list of prompts in the link below) On Saturday of each week, I'll make a mixed media project that incorporates those three prompts. Play along with me any way you wish: create your own deck, use my prompt list, use the prompts I've drawn, etc. It's really a free-for-all! Whichever way you do decide to participate, make sure you use the #CraftyHopePrompts hashtag so I can see your creations.
