The first tutorial in ArtistClass Spring, and a beautifull Gift.

When I saw that Lisa from Tarnished and Tattered was one of the artists that offered a
tutorial, in Mary`s Artist Class, I was sure I wanted to take part in this wonderfull event for the 3 time.
Lisa is a dear friend, and she makes the most beautifull, and special art,-I love her style, and have several pieces from her.
She made a Mothers day collage tutorial for this class,
and here is my interpretation.

My center piece is made with packing tape transfer, as I did not have the actual
materials.It is mounted on many different laces, that are glued to an old book cover.



Here is the mother mounted on an old crystal
and the beautifull image from a magazine, a painting from
a danish painter.
**********************************************************

Inside this organza bag,there was a little box filled to the brim with
small wonders of


this beauties,-Sissie ,I loved them when you showed them on
your blog, thanks so much dear.

and on top of that a card with a beautifull heavy old lace


I did not want to roll it off,but here a little glimpse of the card.

And here, all the lovely things. As you can see there was even a piece
of band with flowers too,
Dear Sissie, this is a wonderfull gift, and you are a very dear woman,-sweet friend,
thanks from my heart for such a precius gift.

Paper, napkins, and fabric butterfly

One blog that I newly discovered, is the wonderful blog of Diane DIANE KNOTT`S MUSINGS
She is doing the most beautifull carts and tags, and alwayes encouraging all others, to use her ideas, and tecnic, trying to make our own little art pieces , in our own way.
And as I love all she is doing, I had to try making my own butterfly after her directions


I made it using handmade paper as the buttom layers, and only used two layers of the butterfly pattern.On that I pasted small pieces of fabric,-napkins,-and scripts from an old book
I like the the soft look the napkins, and fabric is given, and it was so wonderfull trying this.


Please visit Diane, for futher explanations on doing your own little
butterfly, and see how wonderfull she uses them.
