IBFS-THE BEAUTY OF TRANSPARENCY
PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE
I have created this Mixed Media "Bottle Art" with the precious "Sunday Best" image from I BRAKE FOR STAMPS. The image is rubber stamped with Black Stazon ink, on a transparency. Coloring was done with Tombow markers and the image was affixed to the glass bottle with Xyron adhesive. Embellishments included multiple rows of poly-silk lace, printed ribbon as well as narrow ribbons with 'love' knots, all in purple and mauve tones. A wee purple rose is added to the ribbons and lace and I have created a purple flower with stickles and gemstones to adorn the top of the decorated bottle cap.

A ROSE IS A . . . . HANDMADE ROSE (WHEN CREATED BY HAND)
I created these roses with silk petals I purchased many years ago. We knew a fellow that my husband worked with that had parents in Hong Kong. They were owners of one of the largest silk flower houses (aka companies) there. I had a box of petals for various flowers shipped and spent almost all my spare time one winter creating my own flowers as I did silk flower arrangements at the time. Later I decided I would 'gilt' them to use in my crafts and these are but a few. Rather than use Stickles, which can get costly when doing a lot of flowers, I purchase very fine glitter by the bag from a Canadian Flower supply company, and use that with regular white glue (LePages Bond Fast white glue). A shallow dish with glue, and a shallow dish with glitter does the trick. Just dip and dip. Fun too! Hugs, Gayle.
HANDMADE FABRIC FLOWERS

Thought I would share these fabric flowers I have created using a lightly patterned cotton fabric that I stabilized and stamped with some of my Magenta flower stamps. I used Stazon ink and embellished with pearls. I hope you like them. Hugs, Gayle.

I BRAKE FOR STAMPS - BELOVED
BELOVED is a rubber stamp from I BRAKE FOR STAMPS. This beautiful image has been stamped on ecru toned gently patterned cardstock and softly colored with Prismacolor Artist Pencils and chalk. Background has been created on chipboard covered with a sheet of music framed with a pale golden yellow decorative-edged ribbon over-layed with a narrow eggshell ribbon. I framed the art piece with 1" gathered ecru lace. I have created a handmade paper flower with a button and pearl center. The small 5-petal flowers are from Martha Stewart and I have added wee button centers.

FRENCH INSPIRATION THURSDAY

I love this ornate dual frame. The fabulous and elaborate frame details, the flourishes and the rich satin ribbons accentuate the beauty that was ever-present in Victorian times. This style of artistic framing that would often be found on a sideboard or on a grand piano in a stately French villa.
