Petite Box Swap

Everyone in my group have received their

Petite Boxes - Black and White editions

so now I can reveal the photos

this is how my boxes for my swap partners looks like on the outside

Old book pages, a vintage doily, black ribbon with vintage button

and a sweet image sewn on

here´s what was inside.

We don´t have to correct size matchboxes in Denmark

so I glued two together instead and 

created some with two drawers.

and

here´s what I received

this is the box from Heidi

so beautiful decorated with ledger paper

a wonderful white flower and an old tip for a fountain pen

and here´s a peak of what was inside

the box was decorated on the inside too - how cute is that

wonderful black and white goodies from Heidi

I especialy love those tiny black and white photos - such a great idea

and

this was in the package from Lorraine

all of this was extras - awesome halloween goodies

Can´t wait to create with this

and this is the beautiful box Lorraine created for me

I love the Halloween theme and that sweet little girl with fairy wings

Inside the box there were sweet silver stars, a little bling with rhinestones

and the sweeterst little white bird.

Thank you so much

Heidi and Lorraine

for creating these beautiful boxes for me.

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Lace, more Lace and creations with Lace

I had some awesome goodies arriving in the studie this last week

and the title of this post might indicate it´s going to be about lace

so

if you´re not into lace you might choose not to read further

here´s what was in one parcel

a wonderful table clothes with crochet squares

more crochet pieces - not sute what those on the right side

have been used for

the white on top is probably a border for a closet

don´t you think

another bunch of wonderful lace in a second parcel

all white and cream colors

and some crochet doilies too

then a bunch of old junk goodies

all rusty and with a little bit of sparkling too

and more goodies

awesome right....

are you still reading....

Now you probably think

what on earth are she going to use this for

it might be okay with the lace

but that old junk....

okay

I´ll show you

this is how my work table looks like right now.

If you look closely you can see that latest flea market find in

top of the photo - that old funny cake stand

now filled with wonderful pieces of the junk goodies

and my collection of my broken rhinestone jewelry pieces too

so

it´s all going to be creations like this one

with layers of bits and pieces and vintage buttons too

this piece is added on top of a canvas

to make a sweet wall hanger decoration

here´s some with a jewelry piece on top

and some cheese clothes and muslin too

The red border on the right hand side, you can see through the lace,

is an old book cover I used and background for this collage

a closeup on one of them

sweet vintage images printed on muslin

surpriced..... :-)

I think this might give you an idea of what the mess on

my working table is about.

Lots more in the making

some with pockets

some for an upcoming swap

some with the old rusty pieces.

If you´re still here you probably like lace as much as I do.

Or at least I hope so

Thanks for visiting today

and wishing you all the most beautiful weekend

Autumn Art Party

I´ve always found it so much fun to try and create items for Halloween.

Since we don´t celebrate Halloween in Denmark

it´s a fun challenge too.

tiny fabric pumpkins

in dusty green and white

with lace and twine

fun round tags - created digitally

more tags

a sweet kind of Shabby Chic Halloween banner

created from old book pages and bleeched fabric

with sewn on images on muslin

some more tags - digitally designed

and this altered art box piece

I´m quite happy with this one

and it was so much fun to make

I hope I have captured the spirit right

I did have lots of fun

there´s just something with that Halloween thingy

I´m linking this post to The French Cupboards

Autumn Art Party

Pop over and have a look

at all the entries.

Happy Autumn

Dolls Dress Creation

Remember the dolls dresses I got from Lisa

I created a sweet and simple decoration to have on the wall

in my studio with one of them

as background a vintage child book cover

you can just see a glimpse through the lace

wrinkled up in the corners

and decorated with vintage buttons

the dress is then attached on top of the lace

and decorated with a little piece og lace

and a beautiful jewelry piece

a wire added as hanger

and this is how it looks

I just love that old tattered dress

and it fits perfect to the color of that old book cover too

a sweet and simple decoration.

It´s not offen I manage to create something for myself

so I´m really happy with the outcome of this.

It´s on the wall next to my working table

and I enjoy it every day.

Have a wonderful and creative weekend

my sweet friends

Tina ♥♥♥
