BEL'S BOOK...

Well I thought that these next lot of photo's were lost forever, but found the pic's of my fabric book page created for beautiful Belinda Schneider ...part of the swap with the FABRIC GIRLZ round robin. Now this girl just 'ROCKS' with her funky art so hope she likes my fabric page filled with Mona LOVE...

and words that make you SMILE...

Now my page sits inside this turquoise felted bag( below) that attaches to Belinda's book by a large button on the back page of her book...it can be removed and used ...but dont look too close at that button hole...it's a first for me !

added a touch of love to the bag as well...

and some ATC's ...

with some of my favourite zetti images...

that I hope miss Bel will love...It's been a very enjoyable ride playing with this group of inspiring, creative and caring girls and will miss all of you when its come to a close. Only one more book to go and I'm nearly done Magda...SIGH !!!

CHRISTMAS ART SWAP...

Its been my pleasure to take part in a special Christmas swap with wonderful and talented Australian AUST ART SISTERS.

I created some bookmarks from pieces of wet felting I made. I just adore felt making and cant get enough of it.

and filled them with love

Hope the girls get pleasure from them.

Added a double sided keychain that I hope will be useful.

I love these mini collage's, such fun !

A wonderful swap that has given me great pleasure.

Today was day eight with still four gifts to go. WOO HOO

BUT, the little child in me finds it hard not to peek.

WET FELTING...it's addictive !

Been to another felting class with the wonderful and talented TANYA PETERS (The Barefoot Felter) and once again had a blast. Created these amazing pods and they need a little more loving on the embellishment side. Super fun and a great base for creating 3D pieces.

with a touch of Tanya's secret flavour !

Had the privilidge of showing the year 5's at school the art of wet felting which has gone down a treat. Look at all the lovliness they have created.

Now to create something with all the pieces for a group project.

Will keep you posted !
