BOOK END


I created this single 'Book End' using papers from the 'idea-ology' collection by Tim Holtz.  It measures 4" x  6 1/2" and is 9" tall.


I began by wrapping blocks of wood with the papers and attaching them to a regular book end.



Here's a look at one side.  The bottle is filled with tiny aquarium rocks. and a bouquet of flowers.  The flowers were made using EK's five petaled punch.  There are more tiny rocks cascading around the blocks.


The other flowers are from The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

Here's the back of 'Book End'. It shows off the peacock feathers better.



...And there you have it...

MARVELLOUS METALLICS CHALLENGE


This month's challenge at 'The Funkie Junkie Boutique' is to add metallics' to a project.  I created this picture frame out of a wood block and accented it with metallic corners and a metallic clock.
If you would like to join in on the fun you can find all information needed at 'The Funkie Junkie' located HERE.


The 3"x 3" picture holder opens up to attach two photos.  It is held closed with the help of small magnets. The frog is a two sided character I created using an image on the internet.  I brought it into Photoshop Elements for coloring and sizing.  It measures about 3 1/2" long and 2 1/2" wide.


I began by covering the wood with papers from the 'Nature Sketchbook' collection by Graphic 45.  Using a drill I made holes to place flowers in.  They are mounted on floral wires. 


Close up of the tiny rocks, flowers and clock that cover the whole top of the picture frame.  Tim Holtz die 'Tiny Tattered Florals' was used for flowers and grass.

Back side also has a picture holder that opens up for two more photos.  Project measures
