GIFTS BETWEEN DEAR FRIENDS!


My most dear and lovely friend, Suzy, and I agreed in only sending each other a little flat 
before christmas gift, to bless each other with a heartfelt greeting before christmas.
I recieved this most stunning and amazing beautiful heart from    Suzy.

It is a gorgeous and very fabolous art work, and I
so love it.


Kept in white-beige-greenish and a little blue, it is the most wonderful heart.
I don`t know if you can see it, but Suzy used sari ribbons to create the heart with,which gives a fantastic effect. The images is such a piecefull picture of the angel and child, and I love the sweet tassels.
She used different laces, and all anchored on top of  sackcloth 
Suzy send me blessings with this beautiful piece, and I truly feel blessed  recieving this gift and even more your wonderful friendship, my dearest Suzy, 
Thankyou from my heart.


As Suzy now also have recieved my gift for her, I will  show it, too.
I made her this collage , telling a story of a child being born,
while the angels are joyful  watching. 


They are from an very old danish  magazine,
and I used the original piece- there are many different layers of paper and fabric and also a dried 
leaf  which together with the shining stars, shows Heaven and Erth and the magic that
happened ! 


It is also in neutral colours -white ,beige  and black with the little silver.


************************
I want to welcome new followers, I am so happy you have found me and my blog, 
***
I know you are all very bussy this week ,and hope you don`t
stress yourself too much!

I send you  hugs and love
and in case I will not return before christmas I
 wisches you all a wonderful christmas, and the most happy new year to come.

Blessings
Dorthe

Dear Dorthe
Oh that exquisite 'Blessings' heart from Suzy - made just for you from her heart! I remember having a Holy picture of her Guardian Angel when I was a little girl - I loved it then and I love it now!

Your Nativity themed collage is wonderful too Dorthe with layer upon layer telling the story - you are so artistic.

I have your beautiful Angel lighting up my tree!

Christmas Blessings to you and your family Dorthe, be careful driving in the snow.
Hugs
Shane

Liebe Dorthe, this is a wonderful and peaceful gift from your friend, with gorgeous colors. I think you are a little "greenish"-lover and it is still perfect, in that cosy mood. And your collage is just perfect also. Less colors, reduced in colors to show the motiv at the best. I love both, dear friend.
Hope you´re fine and your christmas time is special and lovely too. Ich wünsche Dir zauberhafte Tage bis Weihnachten und alles Liebe zu Dir - und viel Freude mit Deinen Lieben. Many big warm hugs and kisses to you, my dear! :)

Здравей скъпа Дороти, сърцето което си получила е прекрасно.
А колажа е възхитителен, наистина разказва една цяла история... Всички елементи са та така красиво подредени. Весели празници и само хубави моменти.
Поздрави и прегръдки от мен.

Hello sweet Dorthe, You and dear Suzy have given each other the most beautiful gifts. Both creations are stunning and you must both have been thrilled when you unwrapped your gifts. I love all the creations of your last post too. Your friends will be excited to receive those fantastic gifts, my dearest Dorthe.
It's been crazy here lately with lots of animals to care of and so many power and internet outages. I've received your package but have not unwrapped the gifts yet. Thank you so much! I will e-mail you soon, sweetie.
Sending mange kys og knus und ganz viele allerliebste Grüße
Julia

Kære Dorthe.

Smukke kreationer og henrivende måde at sende hinanden en lille julehilsen.

Jeg vil benytte denne lejlighed til at ønske dig en rigtig dejlig jul og et lykkebringende nytår.

Selv skal jeg fejre julen her i udlandet sammen med min kæreste. Det bliver anderledes ikke at skulle fejre jul sammen med min familie, men min kæreste og jeg skal nok få nogle dejlige dage sammen, selvom det i år bliver uden resten af familien.

Rigtig glædelig jul og godt nytår!

Knus,
Emilie

Dear Dorthe
Such a wonderful post, a post that shares the art of two of my favourite fabric collage artists, artists that are not only such special people but also incredibly gifted with their immense talents.
The heart most certainly will bless you as Suzy has given you a piece of her heart in its creation and then the stunning collage you created with the details that tell a story.
A most beautiful post my friend.
Wishes
Lynne

Dorthe -- Both you and dear Suzy have blessed each other with wondrous and beautiful gifts from your heart and hands. Suzy's beautiful collage is stunning -- she creates so beautifully with lace and is a true master at her art. I now have one of her lovely creations to call my very own and I treasure it as I do the little angel dolls that you have shared with me.

Your collage is more than just an amazingly beautiful work of art - you have taken a story that is old as the ages and is the very essence of this season that we celebrate and given it a new home in your lovely collage.

Bless you this season and in the new year to come -- you are such a kind and generous person -- loved by so many. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations with us from your little home and shop -- so far away.

Love
Vicki
