Hello all, I know it's not Christmasy, but I had to show you some new things I've made. Remember the bottles a friend gave me? Here's the first. I plan to do a series of 4 ocean-themed bottles over time. This one is in aqua - it has a vintage seashell charm with rhinestones as the stopper. I used a sheet music image,
By the Crystal Sea, from The Graphics Fairy.
And some Contemplation Spools I have made. I decorated them with pretty paper, vintage button, and text from vintage books (that were too far gone to salvage); text such as:
-the girl who can dance like a dream
-Strong and content, I travel the open road
-just stand and watch yourself go by
They were so much fun to make.
