I was recently in a swap with a new group and we altered match boxes, the theme was a midsummer's night dream from Shakespeare. I chose a picture that I thought would resemble Tatiana, and then made gold stars, handcrafted silk flowers, wings and a key.






We filled the boxes with goodies and sent them to our partners. It was a fun swap and my first Shakespeare theme. 

 

Lil' scrap of heaven swap

 I recently participated in a swap at an on line group  I belong to.  LSH.  We were to decorate and fill a cigar box with goodies. My partner likes the Shabby look and likes the color teal. Here is what I made for her. I hand crafted the flowers and used as much lace and bling as I could.






I filled it with a variety of goodies and some hand crafted tags and such.






 This is how it looked
filled and ready to send.

  I  love steam punk. this is what Lana sent me, she did such a great job. I am anxious to start learning steampunk  design.

this is what she sent. what a  great swap.

Glamping in our 1977 Argosy

 This is the vanity in the bodiour of our trailer. I love this part I get to change out the decor with every glamp.

 One of the bird cages I got decorated for the Boho dinning room in our tent.

 This is the seating area behind the table. The peacock feathers are from a dear friend in Mississippi, her name is Marie Antoinette, for real.She is a great cyber friend.

 A close up of one of the place settings at the dinning room table, I dyed all of the table covers and the napkins.

 A night view of the Boho dinning room.

 Our Boho dinning room. I covered the "floor" with rugs and carpets. Put up dyed lace curtains all around the inside of the tent, and dyed the chair covers. I made the pillows on the chairs.

 My favorite part of the table decor is the fabulous pink gazing ball, I so love it. The roses came from my garden.

You can see the whole tent here, we have purple twinkle  lights surrounding the tent.. It was a fun glamp and I must say everyone loved the  Boho tent.

Free Digi art Woman and Music

Here is another free digi art. Ina this one is for you. I loved the card you sent me with the other one. I am using it for a book mark.

altered lamp shade

Roses and lace, cover this altered lamp shade. I used
lace to cover the whole shade and then fussy cut the
roses, and glued them on.

                                                                                     I tried to follow a wave pattern all the way around  

with the roses.

close up of the roses and the double ruffle, I used a crocheted lace for the under ruffle, and a curtain ruffle for the sheer over ruffle

Free digital art

I have noticed many people on line are giving away free digital art. This is my contribution to that effort. If you like it use it. I am just learning how to use digital  programs and so far this is my best go.

Frame this

 I have had these frames for a few years, yes I know.. but it took me a while to figure out what to do with them. I originally bought them to cover them with flowers, inspiration from one I saw in a very upscale shop. I couldn't get it to look right so I went the mixed media route, and I think they turned out very nice.

 I copied the Paris wall plaque you can see on the left and then decoupaged it to the frame. I love the way Paris and the Eiffel tower look.

 I also thought a Marie Antoinette style picture would look nice in it and the colors really look pretty good together.

   Frame #2.   I printed a lot of things from the Graphic Fairy on regular paper, and decoupaged them on and  I  haven't decided if it needs to be antiqued a bit to pull it all together.

The graphic Fairy has so many wonderful images and I love the labels and the script pages they all work together so nicely.

The picture of the merry-go-round horses came with the frame, and I haven't decided what to put in it instead.  Point of interest, Merry-go-rounds travel different direction in different countries clockwise in one, and counter clockwise in the other I don't remember which is which.
 I have been in a bit of a creative slump and haven't done much but I thought I would share these.
