Embellishments 2

I think that taking a strip of fabric, and adding sewn buttons, bits of other fabrics and safety pins is a neat way to add texture and interest to a piece. Also a fun and unexpected addition could be a watch face with the gears and arrows of Tim Holtz bits. Putting that on lace just makes it interesting! This vintage orange velvet corsage is attached to a tiny doily piece. I tied long threads to it to hang down like a ribbon from the corsage.
The fridge is fixed! The repairman found the problem (bad capacitor, relay and overload parts) right away and had it running again in a matter of minutes. And he even had the repair parts on his truck! Can you imagine that??!! I lost most of the items in the freezer. However, the entire fridge is now clean inside and the food that couldn't be salvaged is gone. Feels like new!

An ATC and a pendent

This is my ATC for the February swap at Mystic Paper. We were to use Tim Holtz products in making the ATC. The only things not by Tim are the ribbon at the top and the little boy's image. I call him Little Harold.
Please be sure to check out Mystic Paper's new blog dedicated to swaps and trades alone. There you can get information on all upcoming trades and swaps. In fact, they are having an altered apron art show. You will also find pictures of all the ATC's traded for each month. January's ATC's are already featured on there. If you are interested, check out the blog!
This is my latest pendent. I used an ArtChix image and glitzed her up with stars, glittery paper, and two tiny jewels. You can find her for sale in my booth at Merchant Square in a few days. Check the white china cabinet in my booth for her.
