“Good things come in small packages” my Auntie said to me……….
So much of my artwork is inspired by my family, old memories, old photographs and times gone by. I feel it much more important to hold those memories close as I get older.
This pendant/Art Journal is inspired by my Aunt Jeanette – my “Auntie” – {when I was little I couldn’t say Jeanette}. She passed away in the late 70’s when I was in 7th grade. We had a very close bond.. She was my Mom’s oldest sister, 10 years older than my Mom. She was sort of like my Mom’s second Mother. Auntie had no children and so she spoiled me like I was her own.
She had a love of miniatures and all things tiny. She would tell me stories of how she always dreamed of a having a doll house to fix up and decorate just the way she wanted. I think this might have been a way to keep her thinking young. So in 1973, she had a doll house custom built for her. It was golden yellow, looked like a beautiful farmhouse with a big front porch and bay window in the front and a side porch off one side. It had a gorgeous winding staircase. It was built by hand and she paid $300 for it. I bet you can picture how my eyes lit up the first time I saw it. To a little girl, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen – it even had a chandelier and a miniature sized Tiffany style lamp that lit up!
She would tell me “Lindy Lu Lu, good things come in small packages”. I believed her.

Oh my goodness! Do I have exciting news!!!! I am happy to announce that I am working in conjunction with Spellbinder’s Creative arts to bring you a brand new video each and every Monday!
I’ll be working with the Spellbinder’s® Media Mixáge™ line to create all sorts of mixed media projects from jewelry making to art journals, assemblages and more. I’m so excited about this opportunity to really explore beyond my comfort zone and I hope you will join on this journey with me.
My first video shows you how to texture brass blanks using the Spellbinder’s® Artisan X-Plorer™ machine. I am so in love with this machine and all the things it can do and as I share more video’s I think you will love it just as much as I do.
This pendant is quick and easy and can be done and worn in about 30 minutes! Make sure you subscribe to my blog below and to my youtube channel so you don’t miss any of the videos! Enjoy!

Wow this month is like a whirlwind! A business trip at the beginning of the month and lots of new fun “toys” to play with and I’ll give you three guesses where I’ve spent a majority of my time!
I’ve been having a blast playing around with Spellbinder’s Media Mixage line…….
For me so much of my artwork revolves around personal memories or things that I hold very dear to my heart. When I was a little girl, my aunt Jeanette willed me a gorgeous dollhouse that she had custom made in the early 70’s. That started me on a journey of loving all things miniature.
My Grandma Campbell collected birds – especially cardinals and in the springtime, my back yard is full of bright red cardinals hoping to impress a lady cardinal with their song….
This is a tribute to them both. I developed a way to use the dies to create this 3-dimensional birdhouse charm from the Media Mixage line from Spellbinders.
Took me a little bit to perfect the technique, but now that I have it down – I can make a charm in about 20 minutes start to finish. Kinda looks like precious metal clay in a way don’t you think?
