Nature Collage,-and a new lavender pillow

When finding this little remnants from a birds nest, I had to do
a collage using it (in the bottom of my photo over the branches)
It is a beautifull piece of art, and I am so admirering those little birds
that are able to build such beauty.


I used an old book front, as background,look the book-back!is`nt it beautifull,-some barck,-
laces and buttons, and that wonderfull stamp.
I have to admit,that sitting here in my "office",with my stamps out  in my working room,-
I can`t remember from where this came!!sorry, but maybe someone of
you out there nows it????? It is beautifull and with a french text.
I just had to use a little glitter, too.



The lavender pillow, is made of a beautifull fabric rest I got from my friend Solvejg.
on top of that I used a very old piece of handkershief lace



Made a border around the pillow, and added a little tag ,writing.-Lavender.


It is about 14*14 cm.



I so wish all of you, a happy saturday evening,-and a sunny
and wonderfull sunday.
Thanks for being out there ,-all of you.
Love and hugs, Dorthe

Oh Dorthe - where to start! The are so lovely. That bird nest collage - oh my goodness it is stuning. I simply love the little added touch of siver glitter! And the use of an actual nest - so creative. If it is for sale in your shop - it will fly out the door!

The little lavendar pillow is just adorable. The lace is so beautiful and I love the little matching tag.

You have been so busy - as have I! This summer is flying by and I cannot keep my head above water so it seems! I am so behind on visiting my blogging friends! How do you stay so busy with your shop and still keep up?

All my love to you~~

Dorthe,

And even a sparkly spider's web!
It looks like your hands have been busy making more pretty things! I'm itching to get my hands on my new laces too, but....a painting project has called me to the brushes all week. I miss my needle and thread! So it's nice to stop by here and see what you've been doing so I can drool and anticipate some "down time" later this week - maybe! Maybe not!
Hugs :-)

Dorthe,
I had been wondering why I had not had a visit from you and now I see why. Dorthe this is beautiful, it is amazing how birds can build such a strong nest and intertwine all those grasses to form a cozy home. And they do it with their beak, no hands. Each type of bird builds their own special nest as well.
The lavendar pillow is well just special! That tag you put on it and that handkercheif you put on top. I love when you make new things and give us a peek.

Lots of hugs and kys,

Oh Dorthe what a lovely collage and lavender pillow you have made, hvor er den smuk din nye collage, meget flot stempel du har brugt, og flot med bog ryggen synlig, det har noget med hvad størrelse jeg lægger mine billeder ud i, hvis i small så kan de forstørres, ellers ikke, men så er de så små, og det kan jeg ikke lide.

I love the little natural collage & the purse, I've never seen you make one before, it's lovely. I can't wait until July when things get back to normal.
