Busy Project Day…

Nov 28, 2007

I love these lit­tle Bal­leri­nas so much and bot­tle brush trees… oh man do I love bot­tle brush trees. Oh, and glass beads, these are from vin­tage gar­land, another one of my favorites. Oh and dang I’m hyper can you tell… I have vin­tage Mica around the Bal­le­rina on top of the jar as well as glass shards and glit­ter (Big Sur­prise there I’m sure). Alan will be adding items for sale on my blog (includ­ing these) sev­eral times a week, so if you want orig­i­nal one-of-a-kind items check back and see if I have any­thing you might like.

I think this jar… the entire piece stands approx. 9.25 inches tall… would be adorable filled with can­dies or hot choco­late and given to a spe­cial friend or fam­ily mem­ber. It has an office tag with a snowflake attached wait­ing for that some­one special’s name.

This paper mache box mea­sures approx. 3 inches wide and the total piece stands approx. 7 inches tall. I painted the entire box and added white boa, glit­ter tin­sel, pink pom pom trim, bot­tle brush trees, satin seam bind­ing, a bal­le­rina, snowflakes, rhine­stones and iri­des­cent fibers.

My scrap­room is doing some major sparkling this evening. I plan on mak­ing a few other items tomor­row. Not sure what they will be as I never seem to know what I am going to cre­ate. I just walk in and start pick­ing items up, putting them together and before I know I am deep into a project.

So until tomor­row… have a won­der­ful evening.
