3 glass pendants with solder tinted.

I used some very old sheet music that I hand dyed. Images on left and right cut out from a magazine. Center rose image from Dover. Tinted the solder as to not look like original silver.

Teapot tray in green and cream.

This tray all started with a wallpaper border that I just loved. I then took a 12" square sheet of scrap booking paper and tied it in to create some harmony with the long strip of the border. Embellished with some bling on the dishes and added pressed leaves from garden with a vintage ear ring disassembled to fit on the bottom center. Entire tray is covered with a glass overlay to protect embellishments.
It sold at our local gallery and I often wonder whereabouts in it's new home it would be displayed.

Gift tag for him!

Most of the gift tags I create are intended for the ladies so I decided I should do some in a masculine theme. This one is of nature using a recycled image glued on from a magazine. Did the back on card stock with a leaf stamp. Oh how I enjoyed making these. Go to my Rustic Pixel Backgrounds blog for a green version of the background for your use. http://rusticpixelbackgrounds.blogspot.com/
Thanks for looking!

Dried Roses in wire basket with tassel etc

After downsizing I didn't know where to put this basket so I set it on this towel/plate rack in the bathroom. I love dried roses just as much as the real ones. All the detail in those dried petals!

Victorian kids heart card

To create this I used several elements. Started off with crushed printer paper that was dyed with printer ink then scanned it in to Photoshop. Added a scanned doily then embellished with picture of Victorian kids from Dover. Oh what fun.

Aqua abstract swirl background with Dover picture of girl and doll.

The background started with some painting with Alcohol Inks on a absorbent cardstock which I wanted to experiment with as it is only recommended for shiny non absorbent surfaces. I then scanned it in and did some digital art then added image from Dover Sampler. I will be using it as a card. You are welcome to have the background by going to my Rustic Pixel Backgrounds blog.

Hand stitched moire lampshade with beaded tasseled fringe.

I hand stitched this lampshade which is fully lined. It is not recommended to use a vertical print for these but since it was a subtle cream moire fabric it did not present to much of a distraction. Since the shade is so large I put it on a floor lamp base which is over 50 years old, ( a family antique.)

Birthday book/card from friend.

I am sharing (my first uploaded .mov file) of a birthday book/card created by my very creative friend. She made it with the large brown paper bags which also created pockets so I can tuck other things in here too. She knew I liked all things white so this formed the theme of the book. Images were ripped from various decorating magazines which I also like as it adds yet another textural element.
Sorry that the quality of movie isn't better but I have to start somewhere right!
