Number two artc piece finished


I`m not at all used to post every day, but decided to do that as long as
I`m able to finish a piece , for the workshop I posted about yesterday.

So this I made today, using only the ghost item from Karla`s ,artch for today.
I also used the wolf and little bird,from some other papers.

The background ,is  from a card, lovely shared by Diane 
the photo is not very good, but I hope you can se the house between the treas!
The bat I stamped and painted myself,then added some black lace and tulle,
and golden glitter.Made shadows around the ghost and wulf.



This is some milimeters bigger,than the one from yesterday.

UUHH this is fun !!!

Big hugs, Dorthe

FIRST ART TAG ,FROM ROMANTIC GOTHIC GHOST WORKSHOP


As I told you I am one of the happy members in the wonderfull workshop
ROMANTIC GOTHIC GHOSTS
teaches this coming weeks ON THE NET,--- and the first lesson was today.

This is my first piece made for the arch  banner

As I made the tag smaller than actual size ,and did not have all the right
materials, it is not exatly the same as Karla`s ,
but I`m sattisfied, how it turned out.
My size is only 15x 6 cm. (6x2,2 inch)

We were asked to do two different pieces today, but as I also was sewing 3 small mermaids for my shop,
this was, what I was able to do.Maybe my banner have to do with 3 -and not 5, pieces.
***********
Thanks Beth and Karla, the instructions were great and easy understandable, the photoes great--can`t wait to go on with the next one, tomorrow.
If anyone wants to join you can click on the batch in my right sidebar,or on the names here,to read more about this fantastic workshop.

Now it is late again,-time for my cup of tea,before bedding with a Stampington magazine.
Wishing you a wonderfull day,-and evening,all.
Love and hugs, Dorthe

Wishing you a happy week-end showing a wonderfull gift and a sweet winn

Some weeks ago, I "visited"  Angie from Hopemore Studio
and saw her wonderfull glass slides charms.
I wanted to buy one with a Paris image on, and asked, when it would be on Angies Etsy!!
And just like that Angie told me ,she would gift me with one!
I could only be very happy, -and after a while, the post brought me a little package,from
this dear friend.
Today it is Angies BIRTHDAY  go and tell her  :happy birthday...

See how beautifull it is packed,with the little hearts,and the most beautifull fragile
piece of finest cotton and lace.And inside the little packet I found-not one,-
but 4 gorgeus charms, ready to be hanged, in a necklace, or on the wall with something else,
I do have a plan!!!



They are beautifully made,clear and schiny-they are gorgeus
dear Angie.
Thankyou sweetest friend ,I love them, very much.

Also I had the fortune to winn Karla`s  -Karlas Cottage  giveaway ,a wonderfull  pair of earrings,
a few weeks ago.
They also arrived  beautifully packed in an old kerchief, closed with the most
wonderfull old flower.

Aren`t they sweet with the fresch water pearls?
I love them, thanks so much dear Karla


I know I said this before, but realy it could not be said too much:
" all you wonderfull and lovely people out there, all over the world, thankyou for being such fantastic friends,  ,-so full of kindness, and alwayes ready to help,  with big,big hearts -
I love you all.


Have a very happy week-end. Mine will be bussy, so if I`m not visiting, that`s why-

Lavender "Pillow" for Etsy-----and a beautifull package from A Little Bit French

For many years I have collected those little round "Flacons", french used word here,
for little round table-cloths that we used to place under vases,or candleholders....

I have used them for angelwings, but today I suddenly got this nice
idea!  I folded it over,placed a bag inside filled with Lavender,
and then collaged it on the front.


I used old laces, buttons, made a rag-rose, and
sewed on a vintage photo ,copied on cloth.

I love to imagine ,that this woman could have knitted the -flacon!!!!
It can hang in the lace wound wirethread.
***********************************************

Last week, I fell so in love with one of Rhondas (A Little Bit  French) notebooks,and some
wonderfull laces, That I had to buy it. And after 9-10 dayes it was here.

When opening ,I first found this wonderfull bunch of lace,
together with another (right corner) soft colored piece lace, and,the piece of cotton
closed with a wonderfull  pin and a tiny holy emblem, all gifts, from this sweetie.


And those two packages , aren`t they beautifull?
Inside one was this small sweet notebook,see
all the laces and wonderfull ribbons, dear Rhonda have used around the edges,
and the sweet little charm.
I love it Rhonda.

A little peak inside!!

Do you remember the brown Paris-envelope from phote above?
Look what this dear lady had hide inside!!
Lots of wonderfull french inspired tags, they are gorgeus,
Thankyou so very much dear friend.
Rhonda also gifted me with the big bunch of the softest beautifull lace (in upper
right corner), the same as I had ordered from her,that you can see, in the
sweet stamped cloth pin.


 I so adore it,and the sweet stamp on the cloth pin,too, that
hold the lace I had ordered.
Dear Rhonda, it was the most beautifull, and lovely gifts you send me ,
I love it all very much,sweet friend,-Thankyou ever so much, I`m overwhelmed,and you made me so
happily smiling.


It is nine o`clock and I want to go wisit some of you,
so Happy day and evening to all,--- all around the world.
I send you hugs, and love.
