Woodland Home Project Complete!

As it always seems to happen for me, once I started my project I just couldn't stop. So, I'm already finished painting my woodland creatures "Home" sign. I also made a second sign which I'm calling "Gnome Home". I like them both, so it's going to be difficult to choose which one to keep, and which one to use elsewhere. All that's left to do now is to seal and add hangers to each log slice. I think I'll definitely be adding some items like these to my Etsy shop - I really like how they turned out!

The animals are complete (fox, owl, skunk and squirrel) - but it still seems to be missing something...

Adding an outline to each of the letters makes it feel finished!

Gnome Home, this one reminds me a little of the seven dwarfs from Snow White.

Fall Projects in June - Halloween Tree Ornaments

I've officially finished up my pumpkin needle felting project. I equipped each of my little, fuzzy, yellow and white pumpkins with some fishing line for hanging (using a needle to guide the line through the pumpkins), and hung them from my large "jewelry" tree. I think they're adorable! As a matter of fact, I like it so much that I started experimenting with other little ornaments for my trees. Some options are already for sale at Tangents, for those of you that like to get your fall decorations bought early :). Right now I'm concentrating on Halloween themed ornaments, because I can't seem to get that holiday out of my head for some reason. I know I just recently said hello to summer, but fall has always been my favorite, so it gets extra attention from my crafts.
