Summer Solstice Mixed Media Art Tags

Ulk...today I had an upper molar extracted.  The first tooth that has ever been pulled since I lost my baby teeth. Or my wisdom teeth, that were unceremoniously yanked out, which don't count because they have to come out anyway.  Actually, mine had to be cut out.  One had come through the gum, and the other three were still sleeping beneath the tissue.
Who remembers your daddy wrapping one end of a thread around that stubborn baby tooth that just wouldn't come out, tying the other end to the door knob of an open door.  And then daddy closing the door.  And out popped the baby tooth.  Sounds barbaric now that I write it down.  LOL
Anyway, the extraction came about because of a botched root canal about 20 years ago.
So, enough of that....

This post is the first of the new and updated version of The Adventures of an Ordinary Craft Day.
 I will have a new look with photos videos, and links of craft sites that are fun and informative. So, check back often.
I have been wanting to do this since I started this blog, but never had the time.  

Finally, I am getting my Summer Solstice Mixed Media Art Tags uploaded into my ArtFire Shop.
Those babies were a long time in the making because I had pneumonia all through the month of June.
Not a fun illness to have.  My beautiful and patient husband nursed me back to health. What a way for him to start his retirement.
Here are photos of some finished ones:

 If  you would like to see the process of how I made these, and several pictures of most of the new Art Tags, please check out the Summer Solstice posts on my Artfire blog at: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/blog/WhereTwoRiversMeet

I must say though, that during that long illness, I was able to watch craft podcasts on my iPhone, when I wasn't eating or doing the albuterol nebulizer treatments.
There is one in particular, Created By Us, that I found most enchanting and educational.  Michelle, the hostess, is a very talented artist, who loves doing a variety of art, and crafts.
 She is fun to watch, and is very encouraging to try new crafts.
I can't say any particular video is my favorite because I found the ones I have watched thus far very informative.
Michelle also has a website and blog that is fun to follow.
You can find her website here: www.craftedby.us

So, that is all for now.
Have a great 4th of July.
See you soon!
Blessings!
