This And That

Hello my dear friends,
first of all thank you so much for your input on my altered spoon - it was very helpful and so much appreciated. Today I would like to share this soldered charm with you - the image came from my collections of prayer cards. A while ago I was lucky enough to find another hat box at the flea and gave it a makeover. I really like how it came out.


You can't really see the lace border on the top and bottom of the box.



One can't have enough storage - don't you think?


Above is a simple gift bag I made. Are you working on some special projects at the moment?
I also would like to welcome my new followers you are all so very much appreciated.
Wishing you all a wonderful day and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Hugs and love,

Altered Spoon

 Hello my dear friends,
yesterday I had fun using June's lovely images and altered a spoon. I will show you two versions and it would be nice of you to let me know which version you like the best:)


 Here is version No.2 - too much bling?



I think the altered spoon would look lovely on an altered bottle or maybe a necklace? I would love to know what you think. Thank you.
Wishing you all a wonderful upcoming weekend and if you hit the flea markets good luck.I will be away on Saturday and catch up with you when I'm back.
As always thank you so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.

Hugs and love,

Marie

It Is All In The Images

 Hello my dear friends,
if I want to create a piece I have to have the right image which speaks to me.How about you?
I'm always keeping my eyes open for beautiful images and yesterday I found a great sheet of images
for just one Dollat over at Dezina World. So I just wanted to share it with you.




I should have asked for permission first but I was so exited and hope June doesn't mind.So go and have a look at all the beautiful images. I think I will have a lot of fun using these images.

Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.

The Minister's Daughter Soldered Matchbox


Hello my dear friends,
at the moment I'm trying to use up what I have lying around at my studio and here is the result. Meet the Minister's daughter .



Here is a closer look at the matchbox. Can you see the tiny cross? For some reason she looked like a Minister's daughter to me:)

Some days ago I received a big surprise in the mail from dear  Katherine @Chatelet who won my last giveaway.How sweet is that?



Look at the beautiful box Katherine created.


A peek of what is inside.


The most beautifully wrapped chocolate,lavender lace sachet and another beautiful box.


Wonder what is inside:)



Hidden in the box was this gorgeous altered bottle. Love all the lace and pearls she used.
Thank you so much,dear Katherine - I just love everything you sent me and felt so very special opening up your gifts.If you haven't visited this talented gal please go on over and have a look.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm still trying to catch up as my computer crahed but lucky for me we had visitors over the weekend and it was fixed.

Wishing you all a wonderful start of the week my dear friends.

Hugs and love,

Resin Charm

Hello my dear friends,
playing with resin was on my to do list for quite some time now - so here is my trial piece and I must say I'm very pleased with it. It might find its way onto an altered bottle.Speaking of bottles, here is one wich is sitting on my desk for a year now and it might has to wait a bit longer as I don't have that much to work with:) It is in a layout stage right now. 


Not so sure if this will work out.What do you think? Lot of potentials here.
Wishing you all a wonderful week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Hugs and love,
