Fairy and Mermaid Bottles

I made many of these little bottle for our Holiday House and I only have these 3 left. I am very excited about this. The bottles are 2 1/2" tall. I had fun adding the tiny fairies and tiny mermaids in the bottles. I also added some fairy dust and a few small items to decorate the inside of the bottles.

Back of bottles-I added a charm and small tag with the words "make a wish" on the fairies bottle and on the mermaids I added the words "dream a dream".

Artchix Studio "Steam Punk Swap"

All the images I used are from Artchix Studio. Helga has a wonderful selection of collage sheets, so it was easy to use Only Artchix Images. Even though you only had to use one of her images. I love vintage buttons- I have so many jars of them. But I used the buttons from one I received from Helga. The only thing not Artchix was the cardboard for the atcs and the other emblishments.

Four more Stream Punk ATC's. These are for an Artchix Studio Swap. Love trying something new.

BOOK FOR A FRIEND

I made this book for a dear friend who just lost her husband.

I used coasters you use for drinks. I lightly painted them and drilled holes. I black the edges with a maker and used a copper ink pad to rub around the edges. Then added decorated paper for background and added my my images of angels. I used glue glitter for color and to define the wings.

Then added some embellishments-put together with ribbon.

AUDREY

Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses. So, I made up this collage on her. I used an old box top-lined it with decorated paper. I added my images. With a few of the images I used glue dots to add depth. I used markers to add color-which I think added pop to the collage.

Wrapped in the Wings of Love

Just a little something I put together.

Back of my houses

DANCING FAIRIES

Here are three fairies I made. Their dresses are from vintage jello molds, which I painted. I made a hold in the middle for their tops to join. I had the heads and made their bodices out of paper clay. I shaped the arms and added the hands. I shape the clay for the legs and added a looped wire at the top to join to the bodice going in the hole on the jello mold.

The wings are made from different items. The first one has wings made from lace and I added some lavender stones. The second pair of wings are from ribbon and the last one wings are made with pink feathers.

I enjoyed making them. I hope you will give it a try.

LENNA ANDREWS MAIL ART SWAP

Lenna has come up with another amazing swap. "Mail art". We were to either use an already made envelope or make our own. I decided to make my own. I used some thick brown paper that had a design writing on it. I added some stamp images. I cut out silhouettes of "Alice in Wonderland". After cutting and gluing them to the envelope I made address labels. I used shimmer Mod Podge (gold) all other the envelopes. Let dry and added my note and sealed.

And I want to thank Lenna for letting me use her photos of my mail art. I was an a hurry to mail them and forgot to scan them. So Lenna was kind enough to let me use her photos.

The fronts.

Here are the backs. And I added a little note that I collage on also. These were so much fun to make. Thanks Lenna for another wonderful swap. I can't wait to see what I receive.
