A Challenge….

to make a complete alphabet  of ATC’s for one of my Groups. Strange as it seems,I’ve made many ATC’s for various swaps,but,never done an alphabet one! As this is a small,and new group of mainly beginners,I’m under no pressure what so ever,so therefore in my element…creating  ATC’s of varying mediums.

Lefthand page is a silk flower,which is rather too large for page…but I wanted to use it! and I added tiny bee charms..aww! Final page is a stamped queen bee…could be me ;) wearing a brass crown.picture-048.jpg

Mini Board Book

This tiny book was for a swap on Talk Crafts forum. The hostess supplied the book..the smallest I’ve ever worked in! I had no definite theme when I started working in it…it just seemed to grow into things that fly.

What have I done!

Not a lot lately.As always I blame the weather…never myself:) I’m having a period of total inactivity…just can’t get my head around artwork that needs doing…need,being the operative word! I must finish pieces that are due for various swaps…this seems to be an ongoing crisis that I will have to address…and soon! I’ve just received two books…Metal Craft Discovery Workshop,by Linda and Opie O’Brien,and Kaleidoscope by Suzanne Simanaitis…they look fabulously creative inspiration,so I’m off for a look inside them,and hopefully my muse will return!

Scary flower doll!

picture-035.jpgOne pretty scary lady! This jointed doll was enhanced..lol…with parts of a silk sunflower,the rough cut leaves for her modesty skirt,and what looks like her bikini top,although not my intention..it was just decoration around waist! still,does look cute with red diamantes…are flower parts…although I’ve never seen a green flower!! Her exaggerated lips are simply a heart shaped brad….her fancy boots are painted feet with fringed fibre to give illusion of fancy boots.
