I BOUGHT THE MOST LOVELY PAIR OF BABY SHOES- AND MADE SOME NEEDLEFELTED COLLAGES!!


Here they are,- aren`t they the sweetest!!
When seing them in my dear friend DAWN  `s new Etsy shop  where she sells
her own collected treasures, I just had to buy them!!


Dawn being the most dear and wonderful friend, made me 
so very happy , adding all this huge bunch of lovely seambindings, and buttons
from her stasches!! It is not possibly to buy them here, so it is a most
treasured gift!


Here all the beautiful laces dearest Dawn had hidden in the shoes!!
Thank you from my heart my precious friend-you are the most 
caring ,and lovely person,- and an amazing friend.


Another very dear friend BETTINA also gave me a very special
present ,in lending me her needle felting machine for some dayes!!
I had so much fun trying this,for me  total new maschine,-
and had a great time creating two pieces!! 


This bird collage I made for her as a thankyou.


I used a birds stamp, Bettina also gave me, some time ago!!


Thankyou for being so generous my dear friend,-It was so
very sweet and kind of you !


This is the other collage I made with wool ,papers,fabrics and laces!!

A little close up, of all the textures !!

and wishes you all a wonderful friday and weekend!

Oh what cute little shoes Dorthe.
Your needle felting collages are so beautiful and so kind of Bettina to lend you her machine.

After seeing Patty's this week, I became interested too!
It will all have to wait until I get home again.

It's a bleak, cold Friday here - hope the sun is shining for you in Denmark.
love and hugs

Hello my dear Dorthe,
Oh aren't they just the cutest little pair of shoes from dear Dawn and isn't she just the kindest soul to fill them with all that "candy" of lace and seam binding. Oh girl what fun you will have creating with these.
Such a sweet collage. I love how you have embraced the new felted textures. It looks so soft and beautiful in the pinks.
Beautiful work dear friend and am loving it all from here,
My best love and hugs winging their way to you now,

I'm so glad I found your blog again. I used to have it saved in my favorites on my old computer, but my daughter's friend did something to it that wiped out all my saved blogs. I saw your comment on Dawn's blog and found you again! I love your work, and I will be checking everyday now to see what new treasures you have to show!

Dear Dorthe these are all so beautiful. I am in love with the beautiful bird piece, it is magical.
Thank you my friend for helping me so much with the depression, i am feeling a little better but still a way to go to feel properly well again. but at least there are some smiles now. xxxxx

Those shoes are so precious I can understand why you had to treat yourself my dear friend! Dawn was most generous with all those gorgeous extras for you to create with.
I absolutely adore the collages, the bird collage speaks so much of your art with your love of nature BUT it is the beautiful pink colours and that vintage woman that my eye is drawn to.
A beautiful post.
Wishes to you
Lynne

Martina said...
