My flowers


For the challenge at Bulle d'artistes Atelier.

You have to produce a 'bubble' the shape and size of a CD and this week the challenge is to add at least three home-made flowers in different materials.

I have made mine from the top of a yoghurt pot creased to make petals and coloured with some Distress ink in 'mustard seed' with centre of tiny gold beads on a sticky dot;the second one is some dotty organza ribbon sewn to make a flower; and the third is wood paper with a centre of butternut squash seeds painted gold.



My signature

Yippeee!!!

I've managed to put my genuine signature at the bottom of all my posts from now on thanks to Megan's instructions here.

You should give it a go; it must be easy if I can do it!!

Edward in a Bubble


I have made this for the challenge at Bulle d'artistes Atelier following Frankie's example.

If I understand correctly (and my French is none too good!) the challenge is to produce something the size and shape of a CD but not a CD and this week's challenge is to use altered coins.

I have used an old penny of King Edward VII from 1906. He was the son of Queen Victoria and the great-grandfather of our present Queen and he had a bit of an eye for the ladies!!

I have used an image from The Sum of All Crafts, which I mirrored and tinted in PSP, a background from *spark*your*imagination and various embellishments from my stash.
