Music Paper Wreath

I seriously love music paper; notes dancing, neutral colors and gold undertones of vintage paper, the rich history of the music, and in some cases the words of the songs. All are visually pleasing.   

I shared a music paper Christmas wreath with you here: http://abitofpinkheaven.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-new-year.html

Here is another wreath, made in the same technique as the Christmas wreath, but this one can be used year round. It has a paper medallion center that is embellished with bits from a vintage bingo card, and old ledger paper. Vintage ephemera     .......................Love, Love, Love!

We have had a lovely fall and start of winter, but the cold weather has hit, (Tweleve below this morning!). It is definately a crafting day, and my fashionable attire includes jammie pants, ugg slippers, a sweater, and a fuzzy blanket. I am not walking over to my church studio as I am a big baby and don't want to go outside! Thankfully, I have an emergency tote with supplies in my home. 

Our dog is doing much better and it looks like she will  not have to have surgery, yeah!

Blessings,
Ele

happy new year!

Happy New Year! 

  

This is my favorite room in my house. It gives me a calming peace. I have shown you this room before, but it has evolved the past year with more texture, shades of creams, and beiges.  2011 was a whirlwind year, with lots of changes, and Christmas brought home all of our children which in itself fills my heart with love and peace.  



Right now, this is my favorite item in the room. These wreaths are a hot item. with people selling them everywhere (online). I made mine. Glued the paper rolls to a foamcore wreath and added a little modge podge to the inside of the cylinders to give it a little visual weight and light gloss, (notice the shine).  The paper angel is an item I received in a swap from http://www.pamelajanes.blogspot.com

The wreath is attached to an old florist basket, filled with vintage ornaments and adorned with silver birds.   

Joy, Peace on Earth, and imagine.....the possibilities. What more could a girl wish for at Christmas and for 2012. These birds are real silver, so their aging patina is a nice compliment to the vintage jewels I added to their tail feathers. 

   

 

I'm excited about 2012, and I hope you are too!
