JUST A COUPLE OF LITTLE THINGS...

I've been working on ~ click the pix to enlarge.

At our Artistic Souls meeting on Valentine's Day, one of our ladies had this little project for us. The heart itself is about 1.5 in wide/tall ~ I want to make more that are about triple that size. I would also like to play with different shapes, like circles and hexagons...


At the same meeting, one of the gang gave us little mini candy boxes... for this, I used the base, and the little brown plastic insert. I resized some good head shots of our 3 hooligans, mounted them on lots of foam tape, and stuck them back into the base.
It is still a WIP ~ I'll be adding dimensional flowers, and maybe another, bigger, heart behind the doily; I'll also add something to hang it from.

It was fun to make this little cute project from things that would have ordinarily been thrown away!

Fun projects!

I am so envious that you have a "craft" gang. I have the space to have a gang over, but none of my friends is into crafts.

Hi Bobbie, for some reason I can't leave a comment to your blog using BLOGLOVIN. Thus the delay to comment on your two cute projects. I also made the heart ornament but yours turned out better than mine as I didn't have a thin glue pen. Showcasing the hooligans in your heart box was a very creative idea and fun too.

Hugs,
C

Love the hooligans on the box-and your manicure, too!

I admire your craft group too! I want one! I love the little heart box. in fact, today I have been researching how to make them. I want to make a vintage like one with the doll on the front. Wishing you a lovely Easter. Thank you for visiting me.
