here is my contribution to this weeks thursday night project on Crafter...oo
i've been feeling very "creative" lately and got some dressmaking patterns very cheap at the charity shop - i've been using them to make packaging{images on flickr} and brooches, i love the aged look to the tissue . . . . so many uses!

ReplyDeleteThank you for mentioning me and the items look lovely in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the buttons - I saw once how to make them - wonder where that was??
ReplyDeleteYour new title picture is fab too - I have a couple of these blocks in a box somewhere!!
love the new title pic! its fab... and that heart brooch is georgeous.. how did you make it? if you don't mind me asking? as I have been trying to figure out how to make a vintage book paper brooch of some sort....only of many millions of projects that probably wont get done.
ReplyDeleteI love those brooches, especially the heart.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog...it meant I've been able to find your lovely one! :-)
