This is another button ornament. I actually sold three of these to an art friend in New York. That was pretty thrilling for me!

Here is a sample of some charms I have made for a swap. They are made from shrink plastic that was embossed and molded before drying. I then painted each charm and added a translucent gold glitter. I painted them with Lumiere and/or Pearlescent acrylic paints. Now to make more since there are 26 of us in the swap! The swap is for the arttechniques yahoo group of which I am a co-owner.

This is a "Nestling." I found an idea similar to this in the Somerset Workshop 2 book, and did my own take on it. I thought it would be a cute ornament. Can't wait to make more!

It is amazing the variety of colors found on grape vines. They comprise the most of the fall colors found in Sonoma County.
