My first piece made in Artist Class

This is my first attemt ,on doing one of the wonderfull classes, offered here on

http://greenpaper.typepad.com/green/what-is-artist-class.html


The shoe tutorial is made of Corinne Clarck--click her to visit her.


As I wanted to do a shoe smaller than the pattern showed, I made my own pattern ,on free hand so it might be slightly different, and not so perfect as Corinne`s.
The upper, sole and heal, is made of velvet paper.


The back decorated with an image Corinne had added, of M.A. and some wonderfull
bits and pieces from my stach of schraps.


The very pink band around nose.heal, and ??? what is it called?? is a beautifull velvet paper ,too.
And on top of it all, a beautifull brooch.
I love it.....
Take a look at Mary`s ongoing Artist Class, there are so many ,
beautifull things offered to try your hands on.
Blessingd, with hugs and love

A wonderfull packet from Germany

As I told you yesterday, I recieved a wonderfull packet ,when being away last week.
It came from a very dear friend VIOLA. I had seen her fantastic beautifull collage in her last post (take a look for yourself ,by clicking her name) , and wrote to ask if I could buy it.
Isn`t it just so very awsome? and so beautifull made with all the layers, and text :Count your blessings. Meeting Viola is one of my blessings.



Inside the envelope was not "only " the collage, but also a gift for me.
a very sweet and beautifull little matchbox , look for yourself here.


When opening it up, I found a piece of lace inside. I took it out to study a bit more,
and out came a wonderfull soldered charm.


See here, this is - the one side of it. Could`nt be more fitting ,considering my metie


And here the other side ,with a very sweet darling girl.


Viola ,du bist eine so liebe freund, deine geschenk hat mir so viel
freude gemacht , ich liebe deine wunderschöne art,
und danke dir so sehr.

hanging in one of my rooms, even christmas is over. Lisa is a beautifull friend, and wonderfull artist, that I so admirer, for whom she is ,and for what she creates,
I ordered a pair of her new created ballet slippers,--soooo darling sweet,
I will show them when they arrives.




And then the other special giveaway, that comes from Dawn from The Feathered Nest.
Dawn was one of the first bloggers I "dared talk " to, -she ,at once, was the most sweet, and
wonderfull person to me, helped me ,if asked,- and even gifted me with a beautifull box, that I wanted to buy from her shop, I still love it sweet, and looks at it every day. Dawn was the very first dear friend I got here in blogland
Clich her name to see some of the beautifull elements going to

FINALLY A NEW COLLAGE

I finally finnished a new collage piece.
I used some of the inspiration from one of the wonderfull workshops
I am still a member of: Tattered Threads Fabric Art from JoAnnA Moss Hill Studio,
it is still running, and a great place to be and learn.


This piece is made on linnen .The Marie photo is in paper, and covered with a piece of Mica flake ,and the whole thing is a mix of paper and fabric with stamps and old buttons, and a key.




It was good starting creating again. I actually startet this piece while staying with my daughter, and then finished it at home. -I like using the Mica -, as an old broken window- like here.
LISA from Mud Hound Studio helped me find this great thing, thank`s dear Lisa.
Hope you are all having a wonderfull sunday,
and by the way, Thank you so much all for your big interest in my giveaway, it was wonderfull recieving so many sweet and loving comments from all of you.
Love and hugs, Dorthe
