Candle holder

I really enjoyed using the wire mesh for the earring holder and wondered what else I could do with it.

A friend had suggested using alcohol inks to colour it, so I started experimenting.

Here is what I came up with:

Altered Frame

Have you ever had one of those days when you have an idea, you think will be lovely and it turns out to be utter rubbish?
I've had one of those weeks, it wasn't helped by the fact I felt awful and couldn't stop coughing.
It's DT upload for me again on Fiskarettes and this is what I came up with: (after chucking one project in the bin)

You could use it as a photoframe as well. The mesh I bought from a Motor Spares shop, it's aluminium and cheap. It's for using as base to fill holes in car body work. You can buy wire mesh from craft shops but it's more expensive.
Instructions are HERE
Don't forget to enter the COMPETITION over on Fiskarettes, you still have time and there are great prizes to be won:)

Shrink Plastic

This week I decided to use shrink plastic for my DT project on Fiskarettes.

I love working with it.



The instructions are HERE

The only slight problem I had was the pens running on the sanded side. Iused my Zig Dottariffic, they are great fun and so juicy.

My first tiara

I've had a great day today. I should have been catching up on the house work but my friend Jayne offered to teach me how to make a tiara.

Here's my first attempt, well it was the second really as I managed to break the wire on the flower the first time!

Jayne makes the most beautiful tiaras, have a look HERE.
