Coffee Filter Book

 Art For The Creative Mind had a coffee filter book swap.  The theme was Asian.  Here is my book.

 I covered the coffee filters with paper and left the ends open to make pockets.  I used images of lovely ladies.

 And filled the pockets with Asian items-made some into tags and others added beads.

 I had and old Asian paper doll and added it to one of the pockets.

 I joined the book together with ribbon.

 Here are all the things I added to the pockets.

Vintage Sale

 I found this lovely chair at our Woman club Vintage Sale.  There were so many treasures to choose from.

I will use this chair for my sewing table.  I think it will look to cute.  I can't decide if I should change the fabric or not.  I think I will live with it for now.

The Initial D

The group swap is with Art For The Creative Mind and we got a partner and we were to alter the person initial.  I have the letter D.  Can't say who it is yet because they have not received it.  I love this swap-so much fun.

New Crowns

 Love making crowns.  Got the base from Debbie Hodge.  I love to bring on the bling.

 This one has a lot of bling also.

EGGS

 I had fun doing up these eggs.  Debbie Hodge had these great kits for Easter.  I added a few of my own to items to decorate.  Love them.

Treasure Hunting

 I went hunting for treasure on Saturday.  Our Women Club had a Vintage Sale.  I was so lucky-so many treasures.

 The tin eggs are from our dime store that was in our town-they still have the name on them.  The pocket watches work but don't keep good time. (which is good because if they did I could not take them a part.

So much fun when you find great treasures.  Happy Hunting!!!

I Finished IT!!!!

 Well, I got her finished.  I have to say I like how she turned out.

 I first cleaned her up-she was very dirty.  Stamped images and saying all over her-then covered her in brown tissue paper-sealed her.

 I added the black vintage door knobs at her shoulders.

 I think she is going to be a great display for me.

Book Marks

 This swap is with Art For The Creative Mind.  Theme books.  I hope my swap buddy likes them.

 I made a couple extra.  One for a friend who's birthday is soon and other for a friend-just because.

Spring/Easter Swap

 This swap is with Artchix-sister Site.  So I put Easter on one side and spring on the other.

Special Order

This was a special oder from a man for his wife.  .  32 and 27 have a special meaning to them and they love vintage.  His wife was very happy with it.  I am so glad-always worry when there is a special oder.

A Little Christmas house

 I finally finished my Little Christmas house.  It was from Swoon With Debbie Hodge monthly kits.  She always has the best stuff to create with.  Painted the house added glass german glitter and sugar glitter.  A lot of fun and will add it to my Christmas things.

Another Altered Pocket

I enjoyed doing the other pocket so did another one with mermaid theme.  So easy and fun I hope you try one.

Altered Pocket

Art For The Creative Mind swap-an altered jean pocket.  I used a silk image, cut the pocket in an x.  Place the picture under the edges.  I added some trim and embellishments.  Added a ribbon for hanging.

Valentines

 Swap with Artchix Sister-site--Nikki is our host for this swap.   Tag swaps are always fun-especially Romantic Ones.

Altered Book

 Art For The Creative Mind Swap--altered book with drawers--theme Romantic Era.  I glue all pages together except the back book cover.  Then cut out the place for the drawers and glue the back cover.  I made the drawers form cardboard. Embellished with vintage earrings and filagree.  Added the bow and flower.

I sure hope my swap partner likes it.

Look What I Found

 I found this wonderful  bust in Georgia while visiting my son and his wife over the holidays.

 There is a crack across the back, I will patch it and then cover is in tissue paper.

I want to use it for a display for the jewelry I create.  What do you think?

Vintage Lace Belts

I love these so much.  I used vintage lace from pillow cases and vintage belt buckets.  I put them is the Holiday House and they are already sold-love it.
