Steampunk goggles finished!

These charity-shop biker goggles came up really well. When I saw them I knew they would be perfect for wearing in my hair instead of flowers....

I have added one flower and I had fun with acrylic and glass paint. 

I need these for a special event next month!

Knick-Knacks added in!

Wow - some new knick-knacks and some old ones, some I have not seen since I moved house prior to having baby twins! I used to collect pigs and one time, now I just collect things I really like! The champagne bubbles from 2003 still work - a good vintage then!



Some slightly bigger items fit into the glass fronted cabinet ... I had fun playing music and slotting in the little memories here and there!



and some in this ex spice-rack, for I need a knick-knack-rack more than a spice-rack! A joke in there somewhere!

Russian Doll making - WIP

Recently the girls had been doing some Russian Doll colouring, and designed some of the own for some handmade cards. I decided to buy a set of blanks for us to have a go at the real thing!



I made a Flickr gallery for inspiration, and off we went, starting with some fabric collage and some acrylic paint ...


From left to right, the work of Daisy, Matty, Mary and four for Mummy - the fiddly ones!

another plush team challenge - 40 years since woodstock 69

"Among the countless iconic images to come out of Woodstock, one that stands out is that of a colorful micro-bus painted with all the symbols of the peace-and-love generation that has become known as "Light."

Light was a group that included a singer by the name of Robert Grimm, who would later become one of the Four Seasons. It was Grimm who commissioned Dr. Bob Hieronimus to turn the band's drab tour bus into something more ... say, magical."
