Kitchen "Stuffing"



First and novice attempt at a group on Flickr called:
40 items found loose in the kitchen and "stufffed" into a small matchbox.

List and photos of matchbox content here.

I love miniatures! This group looked like so much fun I had to give it a try!

For B.



Glass marble magnets made with vintage fabric scraps. This set was made for a friend, who requested blue and yellow for her kitchen.

Let's go skating..




Made this little stamp to mark in my journal when I go skating. My mom gave me this box of vintage fabric. I love to dig through the scraps and look at all the patterns and color combos. Fell in love with the orange and turquoise fabric!

Pocket Landscape




I came across this journal this week and fell in love with it's green cover. It is made from the hand•book journal co. The size is wonderful 3.5" x 5.5" and it is filled with a nice heavyweight buff drawing paper. There is a nice little clear pocket in the back to hold things too.

Found an art store this week that stocks the Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils that I like. I didn't have a list of the colors I had at home, so made a color key and tossed it in the back.... just in case I wander over that way again!

Ruler Under Glass



I've been addicted to making these glass marble magnets lately.  Maybe it is because they are so cheerful during this cold dreary weather?  I made this set for my mother.  She gave me an antique silk ruler that was in pretty bad condition, with the request to make her a set of magnets.  My favorite is the larger marble in the middle.
