Not being very good at making new years resolutions and even worse at keeping them I decided to just make up some goals for 2011.....then I saw Dottie Angels 'shiny new year diorama' and Julie Arkels 'boxes' so I made up some kind of a ...well I'm not sure what it ended up as but it was good fun to do....
The toadstools are us.....the tiniest one being little Arn and the words are to remind us of what we should try and do this year...my favourites are 'slow down/speed up' these apply to all of us (except the dog..who definately does not need to speed up!)
Its made from a shoe box...newspaper,wrapping paper,old stamps,vintage sewing patterns,and that fab sticky back plastic that looks like wood.

Oh how I love Julie Arkell, and her work!! I LOVE your NYR box, very J.A., very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove love love your creation! I love anything with toadstools but I'm dotty about paper mache at the moment and can't wait to go on a course with JA later this year. The cute little bunting looks great too!
ReplyDeletethe sweetest reminder box ever!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how creative you've been, lovely when things flow like that. Such a great insight into what you've been up to, I love it. As for J.A. Another fan here. I've got a friend booked into my makers market who has been friends with her since doing her course ages ago. They work on things together. I secretly would love it if she came along and I could meet her.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what pictures you and your camera capture.
Have a great weekend Jane.
