All that glitters....

could be gold... well my latest shoe is :D  The gold was a happy accident... I had some smudges where my glue had seeped out around the sole so I was going to edge it in gold... but then I slipped!! So there was nothing else but to colour in the whole lot... with my gold pen and it took bloomin' ages and used up most of the ink in the pen.

It did give my shoe a lovely shine though and it turned into something completely different to how I had first meant it to be.

I gave it a little heel and added some lace edging...

both to the heel and the front of the shoe.

Now do you see this... I added some 'Bling'  it is sooooo long since I blinged something up but I found these little gold metal flowers in me bead boxes and they were just soooo right.

Hope you like

Altered jigsaw piece

This large jigsaw piece was recycled from one of DG's jigsawsfrom his toddler days... see told you I was hoarding...lol I'm on a roll right now and have lots more to share with you over the coming weeks and I promise it won't ALL be altered stuff. These girlie's are looking very laid back to me... wouldn't it be fun if WE could find a toadstool big enough to sit on.... errrrmmm ok maybe not, specially if you're holding a glass of wine at the time :)
I covered the jigsaw piece and made the toadstool with some beautiful Papermania papers from the Vintage collection.

I also added some sparkle with my gold leaf pen rather than bling, though unfortunately the photos don't do it justice I'm afraid

Thanks for looking... hope to see you again soon :)

hugs
