Altered Book

“I created this altered book using a book cover that 7 Gypsies sells but putting several things on and in it that I found at the Flea Market’s in Paris. The book is all about those Flea Markets. I also used a lot of the products that I designed for 7 Gypsies like the Gypsy Journaling papers, Ephemera and Tags.”

Jewelry Frame and Tin

admin — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:29:22 +0000

“I must admit I LOVE being a girl, and I LOVE having a little girl! Yes…there is plenty of drama to go along with the title, but it is all worth it. One of the best aspects of being a girl is the thrill of shopping for fun new accessories. The only dilemma is trying to figure out where to put everything. This month we are making a super cute jewelry frame to hang our latest and greatest jewelry from. You can hang jewelry from the little knobs, you can hang earrings or flowers from the metal mesh, and you can store your rings and other small items in the little flower can. If you’re not in need of a jewelry frame, but could use a new picture frame, simply add a photo rather than the mesh, and your keys instead of jewelry. It’s a quick and easy project, so grab your materials and let’s get to work.”

Faux Vintage Quilt Fun

“I adore vintage quilts. I have many, and love especially the ones that were sewn by my late grandmother and aunt. I have a few cutter quilts as well and I have no idea where I picked up this sweet old depression-era quilt remnant with colorful 2″ floursack squares, but it’s been hanging around my life for years and it’s time I finally did something with it.”
