I'm so excited to be featured on <a href="http://betterafter.net/"><strong>BetterAfter.net</strong></a> today! I made this coffin to display a bunch of apothecary bottles that I made this year. I used cardboard and foamcore, masking tape and hot glue. It's actually quite sturdy. I decoupaged some pages out of some thrift store books that I got to make spell books with inside of the shelves and of course painted the whole thing.<br />

I also made this Halloween grandfather clock the same way. <br />

Thank you <a href="http://betterafter.net/" target="_blank">BetterAfter</a> for inviting me to repurpose this crazy ceramic head for "The Mystery Thrift Off"! But oh the frustration when my plan of attack had to change when after I made a "crown" out of 2 part epoxy on the top of the head to hold a platter that I had drilled holes all around to hang jewels from and in 2 minutes, I knocked the head of the counter accidentally which cracked and broke it and then I picked up the platter at a weak spot and broke a piece off just by picking it up. (sorry for the longest running sentence ever)<br />
For a minute, I had wished it had shattered :( So I made a vase out of the head instead. Plan B worked out ok. :)<br />

I'm so excited to have been chosen to participate in <a href="http://betterafter.net/">betterafter.net</a> 's Mystery Thrift Off! <br />
I went out to my front porch on Saturday and found this box. Inside was this crazy hand made ceramic head! I am supposed to alter/reinvent/repurpose this object from the Goodwill into something new. Oh man!!! But after a day and a half thinking about it (I'm still open to suggestions too) I'm looking forward to the challenge.<br />
I will be posting the progress here and on my Instagram account @kelleysmithart with the hashtag #themysterythiftoff . Check out Lindsey's blog <a href="http://www.betterafter.net/" target="_blank">Better After</a> to see mine and other participant's progress with their items. Fun!<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-494pjJnx6Yc/VTaf2aSBAVI/AAAAAAAALjM/NoLVnFMOWrw/s1600/APRIL%2B2015%2B1799.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-494pjJnx6Yc/VTaf2aSBAVI/AAAAAAAALjM/NoLVnFMOWrw/s1600/APRIL%2B2015%2B1799.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I have been working on a "big eye" series inspired by Margaret Keane. Here is the start of my granddaughter Remi. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SsOKSrsUIck/VTaf2LRb5DI/AAAAAAAALjE/nT89fybiQbg/s1600/APRIL%2B2015%2B1800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SsOKSrsUIck/VTaf2LRb5DI/AAAAAAAALjE/nT89fybiQbg/s1600/APRIL%2B2015%2B1800.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Here is the semi finished painting of my granddaughter Pepper. She is going to be holding a cupcake and giving it to the viewer to represent Good Works. I still have a bit more to do. These portraits are more "flat" than my usual portrait painting, but that is the charm of Margaret Keane's paintings.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LXeatQdj79Y/VTaf2dik6RI/AAAAAAAALjI/itUp2xxUNqk/s1600/APRIL%2B2015%2B1803.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LXeatQdj79Y/VTaf2dik6RI/AAAAAAAALjI/itUp2xxUNqk/s1600/APRIL%2B2015%2B1803.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
and this portrait is of our granddaughter Goldie. She did not make it through labor, but she is in our family's hearts and minds every day. She has given us a renewed desire to strive to live so that we may all return again as an eternal family together in our Heavenly Father's presence. I am going to gold leaf her halo and the banner she is holding. <br />
I'm so happy to be able to be painting again and I am thankful for this opportunity to share.Kelley Bochman Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18257657426558751470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332332178876932000.post-43791451643107034432015-03-23T14:34:00.001-07:002015-06-10T16:37:01.654-07:00I'm Back!!!I'm back!<br />
After a 2 year hiatus, I am ready to blog again. Thank you for all the warm messages that I have received in my absence. Life took my family and I through some very happy and some very sad times which I will share as we catch up. I am excited to go back to being able to spend more of my time with the glambabies and with my art!<br />
Life is always good even when it is hard.<br />
and our new family motto:<br />

Just wanted to show you how my daughter Hilari decorated her living room. Isn't it fabulous?! (I'm still working on mine, and I can't wait to unveil the decor soon!

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-le2zRxbntG8/UFE6Wm4cZwI/AAAAAAAAD2M/T7elVnWS61I/s1600/Paper+Mache+Pumpkin+Head+20123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-le2zRxbntG8/UFE6Wm4cZwI/AAAAAAAAD2M/T7elVnWS61I/s320/Paper+Mache+Pumpkin+Head+20123.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
This summer, while I did some paper mache projects with the glamchildren, I started a pumpkin head mask for myself. I started by applying torn newspaper an old school flour, water and white glue mixture all over a plastic beach ball. ( I like adding liquid starch into the mixture when I can find it)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ND6fdQHCM2g/UFE6awg-1HI/AAAAAAAAD2U/BSDtJkiZPYs/s1600/Paper+Mache+Pumpkin+Head+20121.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ND6fdQHCM2g/UFE6awg-1HI/AAAAAAAAD2U/BSDtJkiZPYs/s320/Paper+Mache+Pumpkin+Head+20121.jpg" width="217" /></a></div>
Then I taped some cardboard onto the ball for a neck and taped crunched up newspaper all around the ball to form a pumpkin shape, then paper mached on top of that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cFjmeWyBuDI/UFE6dcXrtlI/AAAAAAAAD2c/ESPI8hmZ49Q/s1600/Paper+Mache+Pumpkin+Head+20122.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cFjmeWyBuDI/UFE6dcXrtlI/AAAAAAAAD2c/ESPI8hmZ49Q/s320/Paper+Mache+Pumpkin+Head+20122.jpg" width="220" /></a></div>
I takes at least a day in between each layer of paper mache to harden and that's in our AZ heat! I then drew a face on the pumpkin head and taped cardboard to add the 3-D features.<br />

The next week after babysitting my Jackson glamsons, the Giffin glamchildren came to stay for a week. During a few of the days, the Jacksons came over and so did my cute little Haggarton glamgirls, so there were some periods of time that 10 of my glamchildren were here! Fun, but it is soooo hot here that we stayed inside whenever we could. During that time, the kids wanted me to watch MANY episodes of "Dr. Who" with them. It was great!<br />

On our Giffin day outings, we went to the trampoline place (I could feel sweaty germs floating in the air.....) and then later we went to the Phoenix Art Museum (which had no sweaty germs floating in the air and was sooooo much nicer).<br />

A couple of weeks ago, my Gourmet Girls went to Utah for 2 weeks to do research for their catering company and it was my pleasure to babysit the Jackson boys for a week. One of the "life skills" that I think is soooo important is paper mache. Need I say more. The kitchen was a mess the whole week (and the next week when I babysat the Giffin kids) but is was fun and well worth the effort as you can see! These boys waited eagerly between drying layers and layers of paper mache over inflatable beach balls.<br />

When the paper mache was drying, the boys played video games, I introduced them to the old "Twilight Zone" TV shows on Netflix and we played laser tag. Laser Tag was intense!!!!!

Just bragging about this fabulous new Swarovski crystals phone case that my daughter Devan made for me! Teaching my daughter's a bunch of random crafts when they were little is really paying off!!!<br />
( Devan has created many fabulous custom blinged phone cases, pacifiers, laptops, etc. She will be moving back to AZ this July and so her company "Get Stoned" will have a base. I'll brag some more at the start of August when her little business go's very public.) Hope you are having a cool summer...

A walk to the store brought us right over the railroad tracks. The boys thought it was "freaky" when the commuter train zoomed below us under the bridge. I thought it was "freaky" too!<br />

A belated Happy Mother's Day to all the females in my life and on our planet. I am thankful to all my "Mothers" - Women (both family & friends) that have nurtured and taught me by example how to be a good person. Even though the world is full of creepy stuff, with each other's help we can live happy, fulfilled lives together. XO<br />

I use all kinds of non-traditional materials along with vintage pieces of broken jewelry that I incorporate into these fun and creative ways to scream "I LOVE ART"! This necklace is available in my Etsy shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/glammafabulous">"Kelley Smith Originals and Fabulousities"</a>. To see more scrapbook pages of other jewelry pieces, go to my art blog: <a href="http://www.kelleysmithart.blogspot.com">"Kelley Smith Art"</a>. (brag-brag-brag and shameless self promotion....someone has to do it, so it is up to me) Hope you are having a fabulous day!Kelley Bochman Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18257657426558751470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332332178876932000.post-10656876449098134132012-03-22T14:06:00.004-07:002012-03-22T14:29:53.228-07:00"Artist" Scrabble Tile Necklace/Bracelet<div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hsWhM3NARE8/T2uUmVANuUI/AAAAAAAADto/IJNXqvC4yb4/s1600/Scrabble%2BTile%2BNeckace%2Bor%2BBracelet.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722831137698330946" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hsWhM3NARE8/T2uUmVANuUI/AAAAAAAADto/IJNXqvC4yb4/s400/Scrabble%2BTile%2BNeckace%2Bor%2BBracelet.jpg" border="0" /></a>I am just LOVING these very limited editions of my Scrabble Tile Necklaces (that also can be worn as a Bracelets)! I finally found some more old Scrabble tile game pieces and was able to make a few really artsy jewelry with them. I had to sacrifice a whole lot of other word options to be able to make the art termed jewelry... but it was worth it! I have an "Artist" and "Create" necklace/bracelet available at the <a href="http://azartalliance.com/">AZ Art Alliance Gallery</a> in Scottsdale, and one in my Etsy shop. Anyway, I always feel like I am bragging when I post stuff that I am selling on my Glamma Fabulous blog, but I am just so excited about these new pieces that I have been working on. Fun! </div>Kelley Bochman Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18257657426558751470noreply@blogger.com1
