day 25 - create a frame and bacon

ok, "create a frame" and bacon have nothing to do with one another other than the fact they both are things i will be highlighting about today :)

i was invited by a friend to a "create a frame" party tonight.  i brought lilly with me and we had a blast!!  Lacy, started the business in mid november of last year and has already had 16 parties.  i can understand why, they are soooo much fun.  lilly is already BEGGING me to host one.  if you want more info visit her facebook page.  here are the creations lilly and i came up with
 i made a cute little photo frame.  i love making these simple little flowers out of ribbon - i'm thinkng i need to make more as accessories for lilly
 lilly made this darling plaque and hung ribbons down it to hang her hair bows, pictures, whatever.  i don't know why i was so surprised at how well she did on it - but i was.  she really is amazing!

now for the BACON.  i find this trend soooo funny and had to share.  i was asked by one of our largest customers to design a line of art around bacon.  now, i have seen bacon art all over etsy, at trade shows, etc., but i still find it funny.  especially after i came up with this gem of a product........
 yup, you are seeing right.  it is a clock.  i made the minute and hour hand out of bacon strips as well as the roman numeral markings.  my buyer LOVED the piece and can't wait to test market it.
dave told me i sold my heart to the devil creating such a horrific piece.  wait till he sees the entire line!  out of curiosity - has anyone seen or, even better, bought a bacon inspired piece of art?
