HELLO FROM "LITTLE" SICK ME!

Yes I have catched a cold/flue and am feeling tired and bad,-it luckily first really started yesterday

after I left Mathilde with her parents, and went home to my island again!

As I have had this post ready for some time, and also wanted to say Hi

after having been away more than a week, I agreed with myself to post it now.

This very beautiful and amazing packet arrived start January from my dearest friend JULIA.

I know most of you already knows this wonderful artist, but if not,- click her name, and visit her!

Isen`t it a beautiful card,capturing the quiet white christmas?

Those two adorable necklaces, Julia made herself for me, they are so gorgeous,and with so many sweet little 

charms -I love the brass tone of the metal.

Julia also made me this beautiful christmas wreath,filled with laces-old and new ones-and

so lovely with the old music sheets,headlines  behind!

And OH have you seen the wespnests piece!!!

My dear friend knew I SOOO wanted to find one for myself, and generously 

shared a piece from one she found herself!

The little wonderful decorated box , hold 2 gorgeous snailhouses,

Julia also found where she now live. I`m so thankfull for recieving

all those treasures!

On top of all this there were also lovely bathing products -sweet little charms, and a scented bag,

making the box smell wonderful, when I opened up.

Thankyou my dear lovely Julia, you gifted me so many gorgeous pieces, from your heart-

and I love every  artpiece, both from your hands-and from nature .

***************

Now off to bed with some hot tea, a lot of paper for my nose,

and hopefully I can sleep better than last night, where I couldn`t breathe!

Love and hugs from Dorthe

p.s. WARM WELCOME  TO NEW FOLLOWERS!

PLAYING WITH BEESWAX!

Just a little break in the gift showing- as I wanted you to see

my last two pieces, made after visiting my friend  PATTY... not on her blog but on her Facebook page,

where she showed some fantastic boxes she had "grilled"  to alter -and after 

that adhered different layers with beeswax!!!

The link takes you to the "GRILLING" :-)

This first piece is made from a piece of handmade paper, where I used

some of my favorite materials-like the driftwood,seaweed and a fearther-

all layered with wonderful birds nest paper,and fabrics.

And after that I used beeswax, as dear Patty had also used on her boxes.

Cas you see the soft look it creates on the birds wing , the papers,and the

driftwood piece...I just love it!

As I don`t have a grill outside in wintertime, and as you, if playing with boxes in fire,

need to take care of the eventual fumes from the paint,- burning...I throw this box into my

owen in my shop and working room, (not using my heating tool inside,for this----)

closed firmly,- and let it there for some hours.The result

was a beautiful altered box ready for decorating.

Also here I enjoyed the wax on top of papers,flower,and fabric, and

used a plaster angel  and old thread with its label still attatched!

It was wonderful playing with these pieces -the first ones after christmas!

Now from tomorrow I can look forward to a whole week together 

with my dear Mathilde, whom is visiting us- she hope to play in

the snow, with us, and make long tours on the beach,-so no doupt there

will be a grandma, very tired every evening! meaning

not that many visits with my blogging friends....

So I wish you all a wonderful week ahead, and sends

Love and hugs -

See you in 8 dayes again :-)

show herself in the green woods :-)

sweet friend   VIOLA

The handmade and altered ,spool is filled with lace-

and the old photo and the sweet angels were on one of the gifts. 

Here a better photo of the gorgeous collage!

And this fabric collage so beautiful,there are so many lovely layers,

and so lovely in the low colour tones.

And isen`t this canvas absolutely gorgeous! if you could see it in real you would see

exiting layers, and wonderful adds of old papers!

Dearest Viola also send me a beautiful stamp,and lots of bits of old papers.

See the gorgeous envelopes she had created to hold them!

I so love every thing süsse,- von hertzen danke schön liebe freund.

And from another sweet friend ALEXANDRA (click her name for visiting her lovely blog)

came to me a most beautiful wintery doll ,all in white!

See how lovely dressed in laces and fur,-it is so great to 

recieve dolls from other friends, but very seldom ,so I am alwayes very

happy when it happens.

This beautiful white dream, filled with lace and a wonderful doll head.

I love the old image Alexandra have used,and the laces around it.

Two lovely paper angels

and the most beautiful card- so wonderfully embossed!

In the white bag with the beautiful image and sweet text, was hidden 

all those gorgeous pieces of laces ,OH my -they are so

beautiful!

This is the big old dolls head ,I love it Alexandra, as I love all your beautiful gifts to me.

Danke auch dir von hertzen liebe freund!

Now I have two gifts left to how you.

one from dear Julia and one from dear Anni- but that will be another day.

For now all the best to you all.

I dearly hope that the fires in Australia will soon be on return,and that the ones whom lost 

homes and all, will be able to rebuilt and have a life worth living again!
