Bought some acrylic paints last week so thought I would have a go! The background is put on with a dry cosmetic sponge, the flowers hand painted & the borders stamped with white paint. Click on the pic for a better look! What do you think?

Recycled coaster


I recycled this coaster for the Lots to Do challenge this week. The black & white paper is handmade & recycled, the ribbon a remnant from a tag and the buttons are old fabric covered ones I picked up at a boot sale along with the coasters.

Oriental Box Frame Picture



Have done this for the weekly challenge on the Lots to Do Challenge blog, the theme being "oriental".

The frame is made from 4 Jenga type wooden blocks, glued together painted with acrylic then "antiqued with rub-on wax in gold.Hand made paper on the back, a "screen" of patterned vellum then the decoupaged lady. Satin ribbon around the outside completes the piece.



The frame is a bit rustic looking but that makes it look older which I quite like!
