Walking stick. Native American tradition

Native American walking sticks were made to represent their spirituality and their traditions. Many people would think that the walking stick used by Native Americans would be used if they had back problems like nowadays. However, that is not the case, because to the Native Americans these sticks represented their beliefs and traditions. I created this walking stick with this in mind. A dream catcher has been added to catch all the bad dreams as you stroll leisurely through the woods while taking in nature at its finest. I enjoy collecting sticks and what nature has to offer and making something beautiful from these gifts. If interested in purchasing this walking stick, visit my Etsy store Debsdetails to view.

Photos and More Photos

Box after box of photographs. Vacations, holidays, weddings, birthdays and just because pictures. What is one to do with all those pictures? I scrap them. Over the years I have made calendars for my family to give as gifts at Christmas. The joy and laughter is priceless!! These pictures will be cherished forever. I add some journaling, but most of the journaling is completed by the recipient. At the end of the year, family members return the calendars to me and I then scrap them into a 12 x 12 memory album and add more embellishments and papers. The albums are then returned to the recipient as another gift for birthdays or Mother's Day.

Do you have boxes and boxes of pictures? I can help. I would be more than happy to put your cherished pictures on a calendar or in a memory book of your choosing. Give as a gift or have one made for yourself. I put my memory albums out on my cocktail table when I know I am going to be entertaining. Everybody enjoys looking at the pictures and it is an excellent conversation piece.

I also do plastic canvassing to relax in the evenings when time allows. Working two part-time jobs and running my own business keeps me very busy and out of trouble. Here are a few pictures of what I have made.

DebsDetails in full Spring mode!

Debs Details is now in full Spring mode!
I am Deb of Debs Details. Along with my sister Cindy, we created Debs Details to fuel our passion for creativity.
I thought I would share a bit about us.

Cindy and I are musicians and artists. Our acoustical, musical act is called The Fallen Angels. We have been singing ever since I can remember! Cindy is a self taught guitarist who plays upside down, and backwards. Being self taught, she never gave it a second thought. Guess she keeps good company as Jimmy Hendrix also played this way! We write our own songs as well as doing cover tunes. I have a more theatrical background having been on stage since I was very little. Directing, acting and backstage work has always been a passion for me. I have also taught drama through out the years which I find very rewarding. Our website can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/thefallenangels1/home2

Our art work is eclectic and ranges across the board! Cindy is a fine artist working in all kinds of medias were as I am more of a textile artist.

We also teach belly dance. We have been dancing since the 70's and found ourselves teaching the Egyptian form of this beautiful folk dance as a recent adventure. Our company is called Tipsy Gypsy Fun and it is indeed fun! Check out our website and book a party! http://www.tipsygypsyfun.com/

Our art work is on Etsy as well as in Three Sisters Spirit in Waukesha, WI. If you get a chance, check out the store! Also of amazing hand crafted items as well as classes to attend! http://www.sisterspirit3.com/

Cindy has a beautiful moon she created! April's full moon is named the Seed Moon: Plan a ritual to physically plant your seeds of desire in Mother Earth. What better way to celebrate this moon with a work of hand crafted art! This moon can be purchased at our Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=44633418

Where We Will Be

All of our shops (since we are a local Eagle, Wisconsin USA team)  will be showing and selling at the  up coming Mukwonago Art & Craft Fair.  It is being held at Park View Middle School, Hwys NN and 83.  This is a saturday.  Time is from 9 to 3.  Look for us.

All of our table rental fees are being donated to the American Cancer Society....a good cause.

Come meet and greet us.  We are proud to show you what we create and do.  All of our work at this show is original in design and execution.

See already the advertising for this event on Citizens Bank of Mukwonago's bank sign.  Shop local and help support our community that we all live and work in.

We all will have new items for both Easter in April and for Mother's Day in May.  See you there!

Free Shipping

My Etsy shop is offering free shipping on the purchase of two or more crafting books. You will find books on knitting, crocheting, sewing, acrylic painting, jewelry, quilting and home decor. Pictured are a few of these books.

Custom Handbag

I recently had a lady in France purchase a tassel handbag from me.  She was pleased with her purchase and so she decided to have me create a custom handbag for her in fabric and colours of her choice.  This I have now finished.
The chosen fabric is a faux suede velvet burgundy and a pale green lining.  Both the inside and the outside of the handbag are embroidered.  You can see all of the pictures on my blog       candytheartist.blogspot.com

Here are a few of the pictures.  What do you think?

Please note that the colours don't match here because I took the pictures under different lighting conditions.  The true colour is on the first picture.

Easter Wreath

I finished my Easter Wreath and I listed it on Etsy. Here is a picture of it. I am in the process of assembling the rest of them and then I will be moving onto another wreath. Probably the 4th of July.

Giving Birth to a new item!

Ahhh...this one had me working! I finally listed the solar light Ive been wanting to finish! Cindy created the dragon/sea serpent and I painted him. ( yes, its a him) lol
Anyway, it is on Etsy now.

Scrapbooking Calendars

Thought I would share some of my scrapbooking calendar work with everyone. The layouts speak for themselves. If anyone would be interested in having a calendar made with their pictures, please convo me so we can discuss. Calendars would be for 2011. Some layouts are real simple and others are more detailed. I have so much fun doing these. At the end of the year, I take the calendar pages and mount them on 12"x12" cardstock or background paper and put them in an album. What a great way to preserve the past. You can also see more of my work on my own blog at scrapbookingforevermore.blogspot.com.

Need A Badge ?

I make all sorts of things with my embroidery machine including our Eagle Team badges.  See them pictured here.  I can make something for your group, team, organization, etc.  It could be a badge, tag, name card, etc.  See my shop web site at      candytheartist.etsy.com.   What could you use?

Search in Etsy

When using the search for "shop eagle team", please use the "all items" category in the drop-down list to the left. This will bring up all the shops in the shop eagle team. If you use handmade or supplies, only those shops using those tags will show up in your search.

Have a Great Sunday,

Angie

Requested picture of fairy house

Ok, I think I figured out how to add a picture. :) Here is one of my newest Fairy House designs.

Tipsy Gypsy Fun

We also teach Belly Dancing! Release that inner Goddess in you!
We offer home parties for women only. Get a bunch of friends together, and we will teach you all a few moves and put together a dance routine. By the end of the night, all will be experts at releasing your inner Goddess's!
As a matter of fact, we have a "kick off class" charity for Children's Hospital coming up on Saturday, Feb. 6th @ 11AM @ The Town of Mukwonago Hall. WKLH radio station will be there and Carol (from Dave and Carol in the morning) will be joining us! It will be a blast and all proceeds are going to Children's Hospital. We will teach some basic moves and dance the morning away. :) (for women only)
Our business is: http://tipsygypsyfun.com/
