What I've been up to...

Aside from working at my day job for many extra shifts and going in for numerous committee meetings on my days off, I'm having a massive block and not wanting to do much of anything artistic.   I have been looking at some of these crafts I am posting for inspiration.  So, I have started with making paper beads.  I am practicing making them and I find that not only are they easy to make, the making is rather soothing and your mind can do other things while your hands roll the bead.  I really like that.

 I also have been experimenting with making some type of paper Christmas tree to use to decorate the unit I work on.  I am a psychiatric nurse, so my options are really limited due to the prohibition for most items used to decorate for Christmas.  I have been using paper and have made a so-so effort.  I think it will look cute with a Star on the top!

I need to make another and this time be a little more exact in the cutting of the paper strips so my tree will sit up straight.  I think, though, that this type of tree will work and I can spray paint it or spray flocking, or just cover it with glitter and it will look festive sitting on the patient's tables on the unit.

I also have been feeling the need to finish my faces painting, but by using multimedia.  I'll let you know how that turns out.

So, I have been busy, just not making much.  Hope you have been more productive than I have been.
