What I have been doing lately

This is a Invite to a party. Fairly simple yet really fun. The information would be on back. I have not put it on there yet. And even if I had would not show since it is a surprise party for a certain person, and don't want this person to know about it. :)
To make it I just took black cardstock and cut it 6"x6", then took the patterened circle cardstock and cut it 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" and used glue dots to put on the black. Then I used my cricut and cut out the "It's a party" I used the Alphalicious cartridge for anywho might want to know. I have a really cool machine the Xyron create-a-sticker I ran the words through to make it easier to put on the green 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" paper. I then ran the green paper through the sticker maker. I then put it on the circle paper. I put the green paper on a little different on each invite just cause. Running the letters through the sticker maker was SO much easier than trying to use glue dots, double stick tape or even glue/glue stick.

Know for some of you who know me I sculpt. Here is a few things I have been working on for selling. Most are NOT done and are works in progress. I just thought I would show what I have been working on, and next week I will be working on a wedding cake ALL week. So I figured I would show I do something.
These heads I am hoping to make into Leprachan pins. They will just have a hat on.

These heads are about 3/4"

These are fairies. They still need hair and if you notice the one is holding a very small baby (which I also made) The will also have wings and the bigger one will be holding something, I just have not decided what yet.

Just a little info the smaller fairy is from tip of toes to top of head, 3" and the bigger one is 5". The baby is about 3/4".

These are just a few random heads I have made. If you notice there is a penny next to them.

This head is about 1 1/2 "


This head is about 1"

This head is about 3/4"
It usually takes about 3 to 5 hours per head. Mainly because of the detail. I can do simpler ones and do at times. Occasionally I just want more detailed. I am not sure what they will be doing yet.
IF anyone has thoughts on what they can be doing I would be up to input.
Once I am totally done they will be sold on quiltedbear.com. When this happens I will post here too about it.
