Raige Creations

Sugar. Baby. Well what other song could I do after a weekend of mosaic butterflies? Sexy butterflies?  That may be stretching it a bit...but this little ditty just popped in my head every time I talked about 'my' butterflies.   Hot Mamma Butterfly Here they are, unfinished ~ just need some grout, and some antennae. A hanger too, should anyone want to hang them up. Tranquil Blue Butterfly These both will be available at The Big Love Fest , May 6th, where Raige will be with Fuzzy Leaf Felting .  I hope to have several other mosaics as well to introduce the mosaic's section of Raige Creations with a 'bang' - or should it be with a 'crack'? (terrible, I know)   Work in progress - the Dragonfly The dragonfly is nearly done, only the wings left to finish now. As you can see, I have a few different ideas going on with them. I have to cut lots more glass and figure out how to get them to look right.   This week we (hubby and me) are working on some n...

My week has been spent with glass. All colors, all sizes. Thinking of dragonflies and butterflies, making smaller pieces of glass from bigger pieces. Digging through a box of glass, with all kinds of thoughts and visions going on in my head.  "I see nobody on the road," said Alice. "I only wish I had such eyes," the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, it's as much as I can do to see real people, by this light."  ~Lewis Carrol, Through the Looking Glass What kind of things do you find when you spend the majority of time looking at and through colored glass, bigger and smaller pieces? Quite simply, you find these kinds of things ~ all found on Zibbet.com .

Boxes full of broken glass ~ Be careful what you wish for. For more years than I can remember, I have wanted to try mosaic's. I view things like dish sets, pieces of glass, and broken mugs as broken into tiny pieces waiting to be re-assembled and grouted into something beautiful.  I have even purchased entire sets of dishes at yard sales just for the purpose of breaking and then mosaic'd. Of course, we are using one of said dish sets now, and I sold the others before we moved because I really couldn't justify spending the time, effort and money moving three sets of dishes with the hope of someday doing mosaics.  I shouldn't have worried, because at our first estate sale here in NC, hubby got me an entire mess of broken glass (see photo to the left) because I was ALWAYS talking about how I wanted to do mosaics. Be careful what you wish for, right? Meet Mr. Froggy. My first mosaic. Well I am happy to say I finally got started with one of the things that has ...

I want to introduce you to Daresa ,  my favorite charm maker.  Green Rose on Black Toekini's You may know Raige's series of Rose Toekini's,  and the Lucky Bug Toekinis,  Red Lucky Bugs on Black Toekini Blue Faith Toekini's and more recently the Cross Toekini's.  These came to life with the wonderfully creative and exceptionally good quality products of Clay Art by Daresa , and Lucky Bugs Collectibles Shop . I was lucky enough to meet Daresa on Zibbet , and I quickly found she can read my mind.  She is so friendly and sweet, and so ready to tackle whatever idea I have. She always delivers JUST what I had in my mind, and usually even better than what was in my mind. Like these charms. Ask and ye shall receive.... I asked her to make butterfly charms, some kind of sun charm, and a Canada Inspired charm; a special request for a Mom and her little girl.  And just look at the butterflies! "Bootiful" was what the little girl said! H...
