A bumper crop this year!

A wee magic miniature. This could belong to a witch, or a wizard, or maybe it's from Nanny Ogg's kitchen? Whoever it does belong to has a lot of spell books, interesting jars and maps. They obviously enjoy a good swig of beer too judging by that drinking pot!



I used wire wrapped in tissue paper for the candle wicks and just poked it through the wax once I'd finished dripping it over the candlestick.



I sanded the glass bottle to give it a more aged look, and inked the cork with brown ink.





The frame is about 3.5 x 5 inches and the candle sconces and bottle make it a little bigger.

My second fabulous package has arrived from FoxyBlue, yippee! I can't believe the difference in postal times since we sent out on the same day...but it sure was worth the wait!

Everything together, including lots of supplies and stickers.


Lovely 'follow your heart' sculpture.


Aha! The reason for the heavy package becomes clear! A painted rock lady


A gorgeous textured fairy.


Green Man painting which is the perfect new addition to my collection of Green Man artwork!


Lovely textured artwork...possibili ties indeed!


And my favourite wee thing of all, a cheeky gnome!


Thank you, FoxyBlue!

I have received a truly beautiful flag from Wulf. It's so perfect, thank you!

You can't see it too well, but the dragonfly wings are a lovely sparkly silver thread.

I have received one of my packages from FoxyBlue, a magical painting inspired from one of my favourite books, Lud in the Mist by Hope Mirrlees.

The writing around the edge says “The country people, indeed, did not always clearly distinguish between the Fairies and the dead. They called them both the 'Silent People'; and the Milky Way they thought was the path along which the dead were carried to Fairyland.”



It looks right at home here already on my mantelpiece and I love the way the 3 towers go with my 3 mushrooms!


A closer look at the detail and texture.


It's so lovely, thank you, FoxyB!

I'm challanging myself to alter a box of giant dominoes. This is my progress so far, just over half way

Paint, ink stamps, collage, ink, watercolour and pencil crayons.


There's a little character on each one of these and a ticket.


There's also create, love and an art domino.


Only 12 more to go!

Two new canvases created mostly with paper and a little paint. These seemed to fly together once I got started, it's so nice when that happens!

Both of the canvases.


The heart.


I decorated the sides too.


& the home. It says 'love' down there at the bottom, and underneath it says 'you'.


Again, decorated all the way around.


I'm pleased with how summery these turned out. Now, if we could just get the summer weather!

My gorgeous prayer flag has arrived from Leslieshappyheart today, and I love it!

So many layers and lovely interesting edges. And the bee! So lovely.




Thanks so much, Leslie!

I created this for a recent swap, inspired by my partner's love for bicycles and fairies. I wanted to create a fairyland environment for the bike to be riding through.



Some of the fabrics have a shimmer so are hard to capture properly. This is probably best seen in detail.

The antique lace bicycle. I like to think it's kicking up those leaves as it's passing by.


Dragonfly and leaves


Wee wooden house (made by RubyTuesday) and garland


Hearts and sunshine


Thsi was so much fun to plan and put together. I think I need to make one for myself now!

Eric couldn't join the army because he had flat feet. Not one to be put off by this he decided on another career path, one that would benefit from his particular shaped feet, and was soon setting up business as a wine presser.

He created quite a name for himself amongst those in the know, and his one-bird wine-making facility was soon in demand all over the world!

 

Meet Eric








And his humble beginnings! Paper tissue and foil for his shape, scrapbooking papers and lots of glue, pins for eyes, and a pair of Halloween skele legs


I had so much fun making him. Thanks for looking!
