O Christmas Tree

A Christmas Tree Wish...

in a shadow box sparkles with neutral colored ephemera. 

Ephemera (plural): paper items (posters, tickets), that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles. 

Shades of soothing cream, beige, and black along with the velvety texture of vintage wallpaper sit behind a glass frame. Can be hung on the wall, or free standing on a table.

 

"O Christmas Tree,  O Christmas Tree....."

A few new items are finding their way into my shop.

I am also adding a few supplies, such as paper posies, so that you can use them on your own creations. Currently Lollishops shopping cart is not working, so if you want anything from my store, just e-mail me.

Blessings,

Halloween Shadow Box

"Good gracious bat woman, that's quite a frock you're wearing".

I'm back in the craft/art studio and it feels good. My first project: a Halloween shadow box I made for Natalea http://www.kandeland.typepad.com

I was drawn to this image. There's something ghoolishly elegant about it. A bat cape, ears, wings, but yet, a

ball gown bustle, and yards of fabric. I decided to layer the image to give it a 3D look. I cut out two exact images, and added a third layer which included the bat and paper gown ruffles. 

Embellishments of millinery, jewels, papers, velvet, and a glass shadow box frame were added to this art assemblage.

Natalea send me an amazing shadow box in return. I will post pictures of what I received next! The swap was organized by Vivian, who is a wonderful host.

Blessings,
