This best friend collage made in black and white, using fabric,paper,laces, and mica, is now on its way to a wonderful friend-
A new driftwood and beach doll- Her body is a floater? normally hanging in the nets of the fisher mens, to hold their nets floating-arms and legs are driftwood, and she has also other pieces found on the beach.
She was sold in my shop 2 dayes ago.
Today I made those two Icons- also from driftwood- the first one have the images transferred to a piece of zinc- a very fast and great tecnique.
Here I used a transfer on fabric, wonderful barc- and little fabric pieces
On top a piece of zinc- I kind of like those two, and Think I will make more.
A dear danish friend and shopkeeper Mette from Prikker-asked for an exchange of ATC`s
and she send me this wonderful , old lady- atc- I love how she flipped her over, and the red adds. You can visit Mette and her blog, by clicking her name above- she is painting some gorgeous and happy pictures.
Thanks for the ATC and your sweet letter, Mette-
I was also so exited to recieve this beautiful calender from dear Diane-
I know so many of you know Diane, and her fantastic skills, of drawing,painting and all kind of sewing and paperworks aswell, She has made 12 wonderful paintings for this calender for 2013, they are all beautiful and in the cosy country style.
This is just one of the months ,isen`t it so lovely-You can visit Diane and her blog, where I am sure you can find more informations of this calender to see where to purchase it.
Thankyou my dear Diane, I am so happy for your beautiful gift, and can`t wait to hang it, it was so sweet of you .

And the calendar from Diane is a wonderful gift - she is such a beautiful painter and it looks wonderful.
I hope you have a lovely week,

Kære Dorthe.
Sikken nogle flotte kreationer!
Jeg er vild med den måde, hvorpå du bruger drivtømmer i dine værker. Det laver igen denne her virkelige spændende kontrast. Kombinationen af det rå drivtømmer, søm og zink blandet med yndige billeder af engle/piger og blonder. Det er så smukt! Og så er det jo også bæredygtigt, at du sådan finder en masse ting på stranden og inddrager dem i dine værker. :-)
Rigtig god uge til dig også.
Jeg håber, at du får en dejlig tid med Mathilde, når du henter hende på fredag.
Knus, Emilie
Hej Dorthe
Hvor er det sødt af dig at skrive sådan om mig ...tak søde
Jeg kan ikke stå for dine nye værker , de er da bare for skønne glæder mig altid over hvad du finder på .
I dag er jeg på arb så jeg skal nok lige passe på jeg ikke blogger fo meget ;)
Knus og kram Mette
My Dear friend Dorthe,
Your sea angel all in white with her anchor looks so free and beautiful - I would have to say definitely one of my favourites!
I wish she could drift across the sea to visit me here.
I love how you have used the driftwood and zinc and natural bark to make these beautiful icons. Love! Love! Love!
The gifts to and from friends are also very gorgeous.
Diane's artwork is beautiful and what a lovely gift to receive from her.
Wishing you love, sunshine and happiness as you create today and always!
Suzy in Autumn sunshine land today!

Dorthe, such lovelies you have created! I enjoy my little driftwood angel, that hangs on my fridge, each time I open its door. A nice gift from Diane.

Hello dear Dorthe, your creations are so beautiful. I love the combination of nature and romance...always so lovely!

Hello dear Dorthe, I hope all is well with you. Your icons, doll and collage are so beautiful. I love the way you use and mix all these different materials and the way you stitch (like the beautiful leaves you stitch). These art pieces are gorgeous, your collages are so much your own beautiful style. What a great idea to use zink and barc. And also the driftwood... I'll have to watch more carefully next time I'm on the beach or in the woods :)
Have a wonderful day Dorthe.
Hugs, Wendy
Oh, I forgot to mention the lovely gifts you've got from your dear friends. I wish I could paint like that, wow...

Dear Dorthe
Such gorgeousness!
The beautiful friendship collage and then the zinc transfer artwork. Maybe when you have some time (not this week lol) you would be happy to share this transfer technique, I am sure many of us would be interested. The faces of the children are precious and I love them against the bark.
What talent your artist friend has to create this calendar.
Wishes
Lynne
Yet again, you have created such wonderful new treasures. I so love the way you incorporate nature's gifts in your artwork. It makes it extra special.
Good Morning, Sweet Friend! I'm so glad you like the calendar. I know it has found a special home!
I hope the rest of your Sunday is sunny!
XO Diane
