The tray "Lilac Haze"

This is my first work with a new tray blank. I like the blank, its simple shape may be decorated in any style. I played safe with the first one - a bunch of flowers is the best!

Gone Felting!

Dear All! As you may aready know I took up a new craft - wet felting. It's very exciting and I am happy to share it with anyone interested. But I understand that "anyone" doesn't mean "everyone"! So I've decided to separate decoupage and felting and started a new blog about felting and named it appropriate Gone Felting!

Picture Frame "Elegant Era"

I am sure that every handmaker accumulates things like blanks, supplies and so on "just in case"... It's fine for me with paints and napkins (not so sure about them ...), but blanks are so bulky! So I made a rule - if I buy a new blank box or frame I should start to decorate it stright away and not hide them in a box and forget about them. This is a wooden frame I've bought recently and finished the same week!



I wanted it to be an elegant piece with a slight vintage feel.

The Box "Antique China"

I was making this box all summer I think... It was so slow that I haven't noticed that it was finished eventually, brought to the shop and sold. Now I try to rearrange my photos and decided to show it. Here it is!

A Trug "Roses De Paris"

A new trug, I like this blank!



I use two different napkins to make a background slightly more interesting.



I have one more but I think you deserve a break!

Bathroom Set "Violet Bouquet"

I want to show the set of trug and small bucket suitable for a bedroom or a bathroom storage. Somewhere in a feminine retreat anyway...

I didn't paint inside the trug to show that it's made of solid wood (and should be treated accordingly!)

New Craft?

I am back. Not that I was away from home but I was definitely away from decoupage. Now everyone has gone to their homes, my house is empty and quiet and I am sad. But it's a normal way of things, isn't it?

BUT! Having itchy fingers I've tried a new craft! It is wet felting! I know, I promised solemnly that decoupage would be the last craft I was going to be involved with... Anyway I tried to make some felted brooches and I liked it! It's so tactile and warm (winter is coming!). I made a few brooches and a case for my mobile phone.
