Oh My Stars!!

Star Light, Star Bright...

When you wish upon a star...
A star shining in the east...
a star for a job well done...
anyway you look at it...
a star is just a wonderful symbol
of something special and something good...
so I had to create my version for this special time of year.

Hope you like it...and will stop by my Etsy shop and
check out the wonderful pieces that would make great gifts...
and any purchase will be mailed immediately...for FREE.

Only 14 days 'til Christmas eve...where does the time go???

Have a wonderful PINK Saturday...and may you have lots of stars in your future...

Happy PINK Saturday...after Black Friday...before Cyber Monday...

Saw this some time ago and just had to share...
it's so...fun and PINK.
I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day...
and that your year ahead will be one of positive prosperity.
After about 2-3 weeks with my mojo hiding...
I'm back in the swing and creating more PMC jewelry...
come take a look... krinlox.etsy.com

New Sunflower !!!

This is a beautiful...Sunflower I finished just before I went on vacation. In the past, I spent almost 6+ months painting sunflowers... and now it's so wonderful to be able to create them in PMC. My first PMC piece was a smaller sunflower that I wear all the time. This one has a large raised section made black with patina...and that makes the high spots sparkle.

Just seeing this is giving me the push I need to start making more fun and beautiful pieces...thanks for visiting...

Back from Vacation...

Back from vacation...went to Longboat Key in Florida this time.
Really didn't want to come back to the rain...but we did anyway. I'm having some trouble getting back into the creative groove...
not sure if it's the weather or just me...I look down at my tan
hands typing and just wish I were somewhere warm...
but, my head is whirring with all the ocean and tropical images I saw...so, there my be seashells, crabs, palm trees, and starfish in my next designs...that is, if I can get up off my rear end and start creating...

maybe tomorrow...

PINK SATURDAY!!!

One of the many bookplate letters that I've painted...

I want to get the whole alphabet finished and then put them on cards and journals...what do you think??
This one would be great for Barbara...yes?? Please click and check out all my jewelry pieces on my ETSY site...there's more
coming...




Here are a couple more...if anyone would like their initial done in pink...or any other color...email me and we'll talk about whether you want an original on an 8x8 canvas or some done on cards...

Have a great PINK Saturday...

Another great Saturday!!!

We saw 'Columbiana' last night and the main characters name was Cattleya, after the orchid...
so I had to see if they came in a pink...and they do...
so beautiful...enjoy...and then visit me
at my ETSY site to see more pretty things...
thanks for stopping by...

I give you the Sun, Moon & Stars!

These are two more of my newest creations...there is just something about fitting all the little tiny pieces together... and yes, I did make 4...3/16" stars...and I nearly went blind. It's so much fun when an idea really works.

Please check out these and all my other Precious Metal pieces at my Etsy shop.

For some reason my paints and canvas are wooing me today...so I think I'll go paint some chickens...if it isn't the PMC, it's sunflowers and chickens...a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Thanks for stopping by...

Inspired by dance...

Well...I think I have my mojo back...been dragging my feet about PMC for the last couple weeks..not sure why...I'll blame it on the weather...yeah...the weather....that'll work!
Anyway, as I was watching 'So You Think You Can Dance', one of the choreographers had on some earrings that inspired this design...what do you think?

Have a great Saturday...it is supposed to be 90 here today...I'll believe it when my phone tells me it's true...; )

Sold...but I have lots more!

I took all my Precious Metal Clay jewelry to the Friends of the Library store in NW Portland. They have a great Pop-Up store where everything is handmade by local artists...very cool...if you're in Portland, you have to stop by...
I also took several vintage bead bracelets... this one sold over the weekend...woohoo...
I'm in a bit of a quandary this week...I want to make more jewelry, but some ideas for papier mache pieces keep running around in my head. Good thing I can do just what I want...ahhhh.....life after 60...it is good.

Hey, Hey, it's my birthday...and I gotta say...I don't think I've changed too much!!! This was me at 3 and all I want to know is...how did I get to be so old??? I'm with John McCartney...will you still love me, when I'm 64???

Calling all LEOs ...

you can show who you are with a roar or a subtle symbol (altho Leo's are not known for their subtlety... and I know, I am one!)

Check out my Etsy site and you'll see other zodiac symbols I have for sale...

I've taken a few weeks off...and now the studio is cleaned up after our big garage sale... wow...we put all our crafting goodies on 3 long tables to sell...and couldn't believe how much 'stuff' we had that we just didn't need. We're swearing off Michael's for a while...that's a dangerous place for someone to go who is creative.

Now it's back to working with my PMC and getting to the rest of the zodiac...
I'm hoping everyone is having a tolerable summer...
in the NW we keep complaining about no sun...
but it's definitely better that sweltering heat and floods.

I hope everyone is staying safe...happy creating...

New Zodiac Pieces

Zodiac Symbols: Taurus, Sagittarius, Leo, Cancer and Aquarius

These are the first 5 of the 12 zodiac symbols
that I have designed for the precious metal clay.
I just got more clay and the others will be up for sale next week.
They all have a word that is associated with the sign
and a couple crystals in the signs colors.

I'm still going to do the other kind that I started with...
the zodiac figures...
and I should have them up on my Etsy site in the next couple weeks too.

It feels great to get back in the studio creating...

Tell me what you think about the new designs...

Happy PINK Saturday

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY TO ALL...

This is another of my... STIX... again, for Breast Cancer Awareness...with the word Free...
and lots of vintage and new beads that you can...stick...anywhere the pin will attach. Check out my Esty site to get the scoop on this pin and several others...

I'm finally getting back in a routine in the studio...after our trip to LV, for the Licensing Show. It was an experience...106 degrees outside and about 65 inside and our booth was right under an AC duct...I could have used a big parka and some muck-lucks... Deidre (sissy) came back with a cold...and has been down until today (Friday)...but she got a lot of good contacts...
and is beginning to have contract talks. I guess all our hard work for 6 months paid off.

I'm working madly on the precious metal clay zodiac charms...here are a couple of

the symbols in line drawings...



Aires...the ram



Capricorn...the goat


Pisces...the fish





They will all have a word that is connected to the sign and beads and swarovski crystals in the signs colors...attached to the bottom of each charm...

Have a great Weekend everyone....KRISTINE

STIX

I'm still working on the zodiac designs for the precious metal clay, but wanted to add these fun little pieces of 'bling' to my Etsy site.

They are called...STIX...bling with a point...because they are stick pins and they have a little message. Each 'Stix' either has a word or a charms letting you know what they are all about.

This one is for Breast Cancer Awareness, and has the word POWER and a little pink ribbon charm attacked.

They can be worn on a hat, collar, or purse or added to a present or tucked inside a card. Just a little something to let someone know you are thinking of them...or wear it yourself to let everyone know how you are feeling.

Thanks for stopping by....

Pink Saturday on the Road!!!

Happy PINK Day to you all!

Sissy (Deidre) and I are all finished with the Licensing Show in Las Vegas...woohoo...

boy did my feet hurt. Good thing we were inside, it was 101, 104 and 106 during the day...too hot for me.

We're on our way home now...(Friday, Saturday & Sunday) We have the top down on the PT Cruiser and catching some rays, since I just heard it is raining in Portland.

Don't you just love sissy's booth...lots of PINK and lots of attitude...

Have a good week...Kristine

A REAL GAL!!!

My sister posted this on her facebook page...and I just had to pass it along. I would venture to guess that this little lady is so much more representative of the majority of us...myself included.

I lost 40 pounds a year ago...and have gained back 12 of those lovely pounds...and for the life of me...I can't get back on track to lose them again. I have a question...I know where the pounds go when you gain them...but where do they go when you lose them??? Just a question I've beren pondering of late.

Hope everyone's PINK SATURDAY was wonderful...

we actually had our first really warm day...86 degrees...

but never fear...the rain is waiting in the wings.

KRISTINE

Here are the first of the Zodiac designs...more to follow...

Aquarius, the water bearer

Virgo...all sweetness and light

and Leo...large and in charge...
You can find all the info and more pics at my ETSY store...
I'm working on the others...and should have more later this week...KRISTINE

Happy Birthday...PINK!

Happy 3rd Birthday
'PINK SATURDAY'...

it's a joy to be part of the fun...

Do yo know how hard it is to type with only 9 fingers???
I tried to slice my knuckle off this morning
with a brand new rotary cutter blade...ouch...
the blood would not stop, so we went to the emergency nurse at our clinic...
no stitches, 'cuz they wouldn't work on a knuckle too well...
so just all wrapped up with a splint...
lovely...and I have a lot to do...anyway...

Took this shot on one of our morning walks...(the house looks like a hoarder lives there)but the yard is fun...just love the tiny hint of pink...

Well, we're off to see, 'Hanover II'...so I can stop thinking about my throbbing finger...'til next time, this is me... keeping away from rotary cutters...=)

Thanks for stopping by...

Happy PINK Saturday

Are you a Fierce PINK Survivor???

I thought these were pretty appropriate, since I've been thinking of several friends and my step-daughter who are survivors... and fierce women to boot.

I think about the Breast Cancer Awareness fight every time I get ready to post something for PINK Saturday...so decided to show my support. Be sure to stop by Bev's blog and see all the wonderful...PINK things.

There are lots and lots of strong and fierce ladies out there that have conquered Breast Cancer... and I wish each and every one of them...only the best.

These two pairs of earrings are for sale on my Etsy site...please do stop by...

May you all live long and healthy PINK lives...hugs...
