Wishing everyone a Happy Sunday and a terrific week, despite our awful UK weather.....it can only get better..............  Take care of yourselves and thank you for visiting me.  Hugs Annette xx

ALTERED BOOK

Hi,

Before you all think I have gone mad making this altered book (bought from the Works), its to contain all the various techniques I have learned since blogging and am sure I will learn a lot more thanks to various blogs who keep me on my toes. The front cover represents my Brain (OK you can laugh) which shoots off in all directions, tried to find a compass to stabilise me but no luck.... the keyhole is to unlock my thoughts and Dream of what I could achieve........... now if you follow all that and not gone to sleep reading this I will tell you what I used...........

The Head (brain) is from The Graphics Fairy (thank you) which I double clear embossed and sprayed with Shimmer Mists.

Various Acrylic paints, brass Brads, black Raffia, handmade black gold thread paper and gold embossing powder. Stamps were from BL Designs and Funstamps plus a Stencil (leaves).

The bottom part where the words are, were stamped on Vilene Interface, alcohol inked and covered with acetate, glued on with 3d clear gloss.

Challenges entered are Gingersnaps Transparencies and

Drunken Stampers - Water (as my Brain has water on it)

Well thats it, have finished now you will be pleased to know..........lol Thank you for popping in and loads of thanks for all the comments you leave me... Annette x

ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS PLEASE?

Hi,

We went to a Steam Fair yesterday and I picked up this gorgeous **********, its beautifully crafted, a bit rough round the edges through heavy use. It was in a box that was filled with various tools and I just fell in love with it.......saddo that I am but it put a huge grin on my face........ But I don't know what it is and would really love to know as I want to sympathetically alter it. Does anyone know? Please help if you can, all suggestions welcome.

Thank you for calling in and am hoping in anticipation that by the end of the day I will know what it is with your help. Many thanks, Annette x
