Christmas Gift made of a Spare Journal Cover

This fabric journal cover I made for Pierrette is with painted and dyed and beaded lace, I also made a special gift which had personal family photographs attached to it and I think the best way to describe it is as a desk tidy. I have not included a picture as it has private family photos on it.

Fabric Journal Covers

This is a padded a beaded fabric Journal Cover that I made for my very dear friend Pierrette I had a slight problem as for some reason Journal and paper sizes are not the same world wide and where she lives journals a sized 'Letter' paper size and where I live they are 'A4' size however managed to overcome the problem by finding her a special journal with sections within it so that she can create her own personal Journal for all different types of projects and techniques

Christmas Gifts made and received



This is a darling little fabric envelope made by my very dear friend Pierrette to keep safe the Little guardian Angel ATC and also the Halloween ID card ATC that she made for me which I carry with me at all times in my handbag

Christmas Ornaments

These are some goose eggs that I have decorated as a little Christmas gift for my very dear friend Pierrette.

I had originally made one that was beaded but had an accident when trying to finish it and as time was against me as I had to get her gift into the post for it to arrive in time for Christmas and with the time it takes to get across the pond came up with these as an alternative option and just hope that she likes them

Painting


This is a fun painting that I did for a Halloween joke for my very dear friend Pierrette it is a total mixture of mediums from pencil to pen and ink and gel pens and watercolours and even acrylic inks.

I always tease her that I am a witch and can land on her roof at anytime and asked her to make sure that her roof was ready for my landing onHalloween, however it seemed that some things started to go wrong as we had a postal strike here in the UK and it seemed that my little joke gift to her would not arrive in time, however due to my putting a spell on all the postmen worldwide that if they did not deliver to Pierrette in time for Halloween then I would turn them all into slimy wart infested toads and it seemed to work as it arrived just in the nick of time as it ormally takes around 5 or 6 days for post to arrive between us this took 12 days and I was starting to think that it had got lost.

Watercolours

This is my very first attempt at watercolours and I hope that this will be the start of a new and interesting method of painting, instead of with a needle with a brush and some paint.
I am also just trying a special project for a Halloween gift in Pen and Ink which so far is going well.
Who knows I might even be able to create my own hand drawn or painted Christmas Cards this year. ( I think that is wishful thinking) however I love to learn new and interesting techniques and at the moment after a spell in hospital I am enjoying using a brush instead of a needle
