FAIRY TREE SHOP

Hello my Lovelies finally finished the purse.
It's been a busy week putting my nest back together.
Above are a few photos of my process, I took
way too may :) for one post.
I used grey water color to paint the gessoed wallpaper.
It is tree bark, too kool, I added holes on the side to hold
the handle for it..
 I decided to make a faerie shop for
 the tiny purses in a tree hehehe.
The photo on the top right is how I braced the  piece
that hold them. The next photo, I painted tiny clothes
pegs with bronze nail polish to hold the purses.

Now they are all attached ready to slide inside..

I used 3 different kinds of twine to make the strap.

I also added some cardboard cover and painted
wallpaper to finish the bottom off...

I added the other half of the lace I cut off for the
inside now it matches it.
I had a lovely piece of wood for a perfect tiny door.
Do like the fancy door handle, Suzanne from Messy Jessie
had one like it on a door for this months calender, her is
STUNNING,  have a look, if you like HERE
Her calender on my desktop inspires me everyday..

A peak at the inside.....

Now I HAVE to start yes I'm saying it my Christmas
cards and gifts, I know some of you's have already
started, I'm always late :O)..
Oh and a lovely Lady from swimming gave me some
of her Mothers old jewelry, then asked if I could make
her a pair of earrings, yikes a jewelry maker I not..
I did manage to make a pair, from a piece of a bracelet
and a piece of broach. I warned her they might not be to
strong so maybe she could leave them in the box for
some treasured memories, she did say she loved them.
thanks goodness for that LOL... ( forgot to take pics AGAIN)
I will be around to visit as many of you as I can before
I start you know what :)..
Thanks so much for visiting, I hope you all have a
wonderful creative week..
NAMASTE !!!!   

BOX PURSE

Hello my Lovelies, it's been a week since I posted.
I made a little pathway to my table, (air conditioner,
is coming out tomorrow) I wanted to get my tiny
purses in something. The original cardboard I was
going to use was too small. I thought I could fit it in
this box and it can slide out, I'm building it, so not
sure how it will finish..
I will show what I have got so far..
The photo above is the box and wallpaper I'm covering it
with.

It's thin cardboard so I had to let each side dry
after I glued it on,
with weight on it so it wouldn't buckle. The
wall paper is textured with a smooth finish.
Washable kind it's old..
I have gessoed it to be able to age it up or
something, not sure yet..

This was the original piece with the handle.
First I added some thin padding then cover it
with grey lining, the inside lid is a piece I cut
from a cotton runner..

I foiled taped the top and the handle, I used
the sticky ribbon my DS brought, and if you
look close you can see the iridescent ribbon on
there too..

More of the wallpaper to finish off the back..

From the same table runner I cut off the trim
glued it down...
Now to figure out how to hang the tiny purses
on the panel, how to brace it in the box and
a strap to hang the box, I think, still working on
the plan..
My other Sister is purging, and she has given me 4
boxes of goodies, I have that all put away, then on
Tues I can put the rest of my room back together....
I will post it when the purse is done,soon I hope...
Thanks for visiting my cluttered, full nest..
Hope you have a wonderful creative week....
NAMASTE!!!!

PURSES MADE FROM PAPER BAGS

Hello my lovelies so glad you stopped by.
I made 4 purses for our craft table at our reunion.
The lovely Elizabeth from Germany is a wonderful
paper and card artist she made these little bags and
I love them, the post for them is here if you would like
to try them http://scrappelizabeth.blogspot.no/2013/04/paper-bag-purse-tutorial.html 

 

 

 

This was my favorite.

 

They were a big hit there, they are really easy to make.
I'm slowly making my way around to visit and trying to do
some things at my desk, I'll be around as soon as I can.
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful creative day.
NAMASTE !!!

CELL PHONE PURSE

 

This was DS Sue gift it a purse made for her cell
phone, I used some canvas DS Sandy had painted
and stamped. Embelished it with some of my
jewel stash. I used gold chain and some wool
braided for the handle...

PURSE FULL OF GIFT CARDS

 

 

 

 

I made purse out of an old plastic pkg I had.
What do you give a girl (my friend Jan) who
has everything LOL..
She always gives lots of gift cards so I thought
I would make her some.
I saw some kool ones on splitcoast, easy, peasy.
Then after I made them I realized they wouldn't
fit in my normal envelopes sooo I had to make
my own, I added some stickers to seal them..
I made 5 Christmas ones  and 5 plain ones.
