Hello Hello! Welcome to this Whimsy Wednesday! Winter has most definitely arrived and settled in for a spell in my neck of the woods! There is much sparkly snow and plenty of colder temperatures outside! This, along with late Winter Holiday present coordination inspired me to create these heart-warming ornaments in the early morning hours today. Take a look! Sparkly side! Golden Yellow Side! These ornaments were created along the idea of the saying "Cold hands, warm Heart". See how those mittens are cradling the heart, helping it to stay warm?  And how the heart is sparkly-firey-red and sunshine gold?  Perfect to return the favor and keep those mittened hands toasty!!! My wish is for everyone to have both warm hands and a warm heart, especially during this colder season! These are also created with a little bit of "heart-warming" whimsy and with an eye towards wishing people all the warmth and best of life has to offer!  Quite a bit packed into those little creations, eh?! And with that, I'll close this post and look forward to seeing you on Friday! Ciao!

These two lovely pendants found their way to me through a good friend!   The smaller leaf pendant is carved from either stone, wood or perhaps buri nut!  I love the organic shape and colour of it and can't wait to play with it more! The Fairy pendant is so cheerful and sweet!  I love the details in the visual tableu that is this pendant, from the Fairy's wings to her bouquet of simple flowers!  She calls for a design that is beguilingly simple, yet rich in details and possibly textures! Stay tuned to see what these grow into! See you next week! Ciao!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the first Whimsy Wednesday of the 2014! This is going to be a MAGNIFICENT year! Let me take a moment to THANK all of you who have walked with me through 2013 and I look forward to sharing Spritely Goodness with you throughout this new year! YAYYYYY!!! I'm so privileged to share these shinies I received on New Year's Eve! Aren't these lovely?!  I recently placed an order with the good folks at ArtBeads.com to obtain materials for a necklace repair I've been asked to do and received these beauties as well! What a magnificent way to start out the year!! May this year be filled with treasures and shinies for all of us!! Wheeeee! Ciao! Legalese: I have received the following products free of charge from ArtBeads.com and I am honestly reviewing them. I have not been paid for my endorsement as it pertains to the products received: Swarovski crystal beads.

 Sparkly side first, of course!  All of the felt used is made from recycled fibers!  I'm pleased that this turned out to be such a warm, cheerful, whimsical and humble creation! I've my eye on creating a moon, star, and perhaps owls or ? Stay tuned to see what happens next!!! And now, the news! I've started working outside of Sprite Creations this week!   I love the new position, the company, the people and am so grateful to have this opportunity!  What does this mean for Sprite Creations, you ask? Sprite Creations will continue (of course!) as well as the trend in the past year of only participating in physical shows that are the best match for us!  I am using this outside employment opportunity to keep Sprite Creations the beautiful, whimsical, magical gem that it is. Please do keep in mind my online store ( Etsy shoppe), and that we're available to throw Sprite Creations parties at homes or offices as well as virtually and using Skype!  More details are on my website. Have a fabulous weekend!!! Ciao!

Isn't that just a wonderful interplay of textures and colours?!  I love the Fire Opal coloured Swarovski crystals in the pendant!!! Other details include the accenting firey orange and red jumprings from which the fanciful clasp and intriguing pendant are suspended.  I just love that chain, don't you?! YAY!!! Here is a close-up of that unique pendant! Now you can really see the sparkly golden flecks of the pigment I mixed into the resin!  The scrapbook sticker in the background is a relief design of the original playing cards.  A Jack of Hearts, to be specific!  Isn't that fun! So! Stay tuned to see what happens next with us! Do bear in mind that whilst Sprite Creations is on hiatus from confirmed shows, we are available for home Sprite Creations shows as well as shows via Skype! Feel free to visit my website or contact me for more details!   ALSO! I've ONE more BlogTalk Radio Interview in 2013! Welcome to Being Human!!! December 22, 2013, 5:00pm to 6:00pm (CST, USA)! Ciao!

This is a copper candle sleeve.  I've had it for quite some time and have always thought of weaving beads into it.  Perhaps watery colours for an Atlantean feel... perhaps with gears, metal bits and filigree for a Steampunk theme... or something else entirely! What will I do with it? Stay tuned to see! This is a necklace creation that is still growing! It may look finished, yet I'd like to secure the 10-sided die a bit better in that hand-shaped filigree setting as well as create a wire-wrapped bail for it rather than the simple chain harness it has now.  There are all sorts of Fairy and sparkly details in this creation!  See if you can spy them all! Check back here for photos of how this grows into completion! News for the rest of December!
