My latest creation

Some months ago I recieved this "weather station " as a gift from my dear friend Mette.

She sends me the most wonderfull gifts.

I took it apart and all the inside-out, paintet it ,filled it with beautifull things,

(Marie Antoinette from Artsy Vissions )

Closed it up again,

and then I used napkin pieces on the outside .

I like this little story told inside behind the glass.

Dear friends have a wonderfull week-end all
