SOMETHING DIFFERENT

A notebook cover / book made for dear Martina on her birthday .

As I know she loves her garden, it is the theme for it.

And yes , not my normal style , but I wanted to create with

more colors for her , and this is what came out.

There are many different fabrics, and laces, too , and I 

used paint to give a golden look ,in some places - 

Different laces , borders, and a little bling .

The first spread is decked with Tim Holz tissue ,and I made

a pocket of the beautiful embroidered fabric , which was holding 

a tag-card for Martina. Maybe you can see that the cover is made so

you can take out the book, and put inside a new one , or you could use it

for loose papers .

The velvet ribbon is tying it together when closed !! 

Here with the tag inside pocket . 

Thank you so much for looking and commenting, it means a lot to me !!

January is soon ending , and I hope your months has been a good one. 

Wishes for a lovely new week to you all.

Hugs and love

MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE !

This started with a under-paper  -used to spare my table for paint

and texture paste  -, to which I adhered music paper,

Danish poems papers and after sprayed with same tone as

already on the under-paper - 

The beautiful Catherine Moore stamp was fussy cut and adhered

on top , and teabag paper added underneath her . The sweet ,wonderful

apple stamp, which I received from my lovely friend Donna, thank you my sweetest friend-- , was also stamped and then fussy cut , and Lynne`s beautiful flower was stamped directly onto the 

paper . 

The woman , apple ,and flower ,all was treated with lovely 

Beeswax, -a gift from my dear friend Lynne , -I gave it several

layers, (sorry you cant see it ) and it stands so beautiful and

shiny after having been buffed a bit with a soft cloth .Thank you my dear Lynne.

Also she got a little extra hair from black threads :-) 

You can see the great effect from the spraying ! I also added 

both lace and rough rope band ,  sewn to the collage, on sewing machine ,

leaving long ends of black thread to hang ,--the lovely postmark and stamped a

line from Lynne`s Affirmations , onto corrugated cardboard , were adhered. 

The paper was adhered to craft card , and a knitting yarn

was added to hang the collage.

So we already have Friday again, and here it is still

very mild, -no snow, and only rain , but I saw the sun today,

and that was wonderful !!

Hugs and love to you all,

and a happy weekend
