Dawne and Hilda

Last Night I went to meet up with Dawne whom I had chatted to on the Lotstodo forum for about eighteen months. It was the first time we have had chance to meet 'cos Dawne lives in Scotland - she was down in Cheshire staying at her sisters - so the opportunity couldn't be missed!!! We had a good natter and lots of laughs.








These are the beautiful gifts Dawne had made for me.

Award

What an honor Jaqi has given me when she passed on this award to my blog. Here is the text that goes with the honor, the wording of which is not mine.

"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY -nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers, who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

There are so many blogs that I look forward to viewing and there are so many blogs that already have been awarded this honor. I am choosing the following eight for this time:

Art Adventure - altered tin

I did this tin a little while ago but it fits in perfectly with this challenge. I made the embellishments with Fimo and then baked them. I embedded them on to 3D paste then used cheap glitter glue in between.

This Thursday - Playing with paint!!

I covered my wooden atc with gesso and let it dry. I then covered with red acrylic and again let it dry I then stamped bamboo with black stazon on all the sides and the edge. I then used a stencil and white 3D relief paste to create my wording. I finished off with 2 coats of modpodge and added my coins.Really messy and great fun!!!

Object D'Art - altered frame

I altered this frame (to house some twinchies I'd received in a swap) for the Challenge on Object D'Art. I used alcohol inks on the inner side of the frame mounted my twinchies and put it all together - I then added my bottle tops having put images in them and covered them with glossy accents. To finish off I added the metal mesh and pen nibs.
