Our Feathered Friends

Hello All. Hope you have the same glorious weather as we have here this morning. Off for a walk as soon as I have done this post.

At the Craft Room this time the theme is our feathered friends.


This is what I made to house the things I can never find when I need them. Not things I use very often but nice to know where they are when I need to use them.

I started off with a small tin-well it is really thick card most of it. The white material is the ends that Vic chopped off the new blinds that he fitted and it is wonderful stuff for all sorts of crafting projects. Great for printing on which is what I did for my tin. I used one of the wonderful owls images that is on one of the sheets from Gecko Galz and I made a background from it and added the image to, what was going to be, the front.

I covered the tin with white paper so the printing would show up more when I added the fabric on top of it.

Then I added a bit of card lace to the bottom-mainly because the image wasn't quite in the middle when I trimmed the top. For every problem there is a solution:)

I am going to add this to Altered Eclectics as well because you can make any thing you like so long as you alter something in the process.

Have a great day all

Love Chrissie x

    Great idea, Chrissie. Yes, I agree with the other comments, the image is wonderful. I like the colors - they're very autumn-like.

    I've been decorating the apt. for the season, cleaning and trying to get on top of things long left to clutter. Back to work today, though. Oh, I am looking forward to the day I will have full-time leisure time to do what I really love.

    Blessings,
    Marianne

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
