Here it is...... giveaway!

I always put the photos on in the wrong order, doh!.... this is to show you the heart is free hanging (if there is such a term!).....

Well this is it...... a frame re-invented with a hanging heart. There is no back to the this piece, so that the heart can reflect the light wherever it is placed. I'm not sure what the protocol is for giveaways, so just leave your comment and a winner will be chosen at random. The closing date is 6th November at midnight. So spread the word....... and Good Luck! Ciao

A giveaway... if anyone is interested.

Its been a year, (can't believe it scary..give or take a few days) so in blogging tradition I am going to have a giveaway. Don't get excited you might not like what I'm giving away, an altered piece done by me, myself & I! So tomorrow I will upload photos and take it from there. Ciao

AFH Circle Journal......

This is a page from one of the Circle Journals that have been doing the rounds (sorry) from the Journalling group. It started out as something completely different, but this is how it ended up.. I used some of Dy's downloads & stamps, magazine letters, some prints of my own, crepe paper and art freebies. As its about being a 'diva' there is a bit of 'bling' with crackle paint and gloss..... Ciao

WOYWW..... it soon comes round!

1 canvas, 1 frame being recycled...... I definitely love the cutting up paper and sticking process, just like they used to do on Blue Peter! I'm not putting a back on the frame just ribbon across the back and hang something on that...... hope everyone is enjoying the WOYWW. Ciao

I can show you now......

This was made for my crafty friend Pat..... I gave her the canvas on Sunday at journalling class at AFTH. I supposed to be going to her house for lunch at the beginning of the month but unfortunately the friend I was going with was poorly and as money is in short supply here, I wasn't able to make it. I know I missed a first class lunch, conversation and fun. I started making the canvas as a gift to take with me for Pat as a thank you. Anyway, I still gave the canvas to her as a thank you for being my friend. I stamped the dress on stiff card and was actually able to 'curve' it to make the dress part stand out from the canvas. I used Dy's downloads, tim holtz enamels, promarkers, beads, old bits of jewellry, alphabet stamps. The paints were sample pots from B & Q in a chalky emulsion which worked really well on the canvas and with stencils. I printed definitions from the computer....... Had a blast making it. Ciao

Just to let you know...

For those attending Journalling on Sunday, at last your goodies have arrived from USA, so I will be bringing them with me........ Ciao

A different kind of brooch...

I made this brooch from air dry clay...... I found the heart shape whilst looking for something else and wondered what I could do with it. A brooch, a small brooch. I painted the shape with green metallic paint, put crackle stuff on it, let it dry. I found an 'ear' I had made with the clay, painted that metallic purple, stuck it on the heart, printed the words listen on some paper (very small) cut it out and voila.... a brooch with a difference. I think I will make some more....... Ciao
