Flower girl mirror

Good evening my creative friends, I hope you're all enjoying your Easter weekend. 

I have just finished altering / decorating this large framed mirror. I just love the shabby chic, soft, romantic feel of it.

After the mirror was removed, the whole frame was covered in a soft coloured patterned paper, I brayered a little gesso over, then I've used a beautiful sheet of rice paper from Stamperia which after applying,  I spread some texture paste, mixed with a little paint to tone in the colour, through a couple of stencils.

Next I added a beautiful mix of flowers, die cut swirls and leaves, buttons and pearls, to the top of the ladies head and the bottom left for balance. As well as giving her a pearl necklace.

Finally I replaced the mirror, in hindsight I perhaps should have taken the photos before replacing the mirror, as it made it very difficult to take nice pictures without getting myself in the reflection.

Festive makes

Here's some of the projects I've been making over the last couple of months. They were very good sellers at my Christmas fairs and also in the craft shop were I display some of my makes.

I named the range Winter Woodland. It consisted of various designs on slate hearts, log slices and wood hearts. Lots of woodland creatures, robins, squirrels, deer, fox, and other birds. 

Thanks for looking, come back tomorrow to see some more of my festive makes.
