Dog Mirror

I am normally a card crafter but have recently become interested in altered art/mix media/making stuff whatever you would like to call it. I went to my first craft show in September and found some lovely wooden dogs from Button-it Buttons. They did however come with holes in so I emailed them and the lovely lady said they could do them without holes in if I wished. I put in my order and they arrived super quick.
I don't normally plan projects but I had this one in my mind as to what I would like to do with the dogs. I bought some mirrors from ikea which had large outer edge/frame on them. I also purchased some wooden bones and planned on putting these on to it but decided against it once I had finished the dogs.

The top picture is the blank dog. I then put two coats of black emulsion onto each side and then proceeded to glitter it. I used a black holographic glitter. I did four dogs and each dog was glued onto the mirror in the four corners.

The finished mirror.

 

I am quite pleased with the finished article and hope you like it too.

Candles

I am not sure how I discovered about personalising candles but since I have I have loved it. I have done a few but only remembered to photograph three, Doh. This first one I made for my sister in laws Birthday

This one was for a local business where I used to rent a room (I am a massage therapist in case you didn't know)

This one is for the owner I made her when she wasn't feeling very well to cheer her up

The Candles can be personalised with words, pictures, photos. My next attempt I think will be trying to use my owl stamp to personalise a candle, I am a bit obsessed with this stamp at the moment.

Fox in the Snow

I am loving my new stamps of a fox and an owl. I wanted to use them on the latest Creata Challenge 'Inspired by a Song' so had to find a song with either in. I found one by Belle and Sebastian Called "Fox in the Snow".

I used Creata Kraft Card, Creata Mirror Card, Mr Fox Stamp. Embossing Powder and other Card from my Crafty Stash.

VW Camper Box

I was looking around the internet for instruction on how to use my eazi scoreboard as I bought it off ebay and it didn't come with any instructions. I found this blog post with instruction on making a notelet box http://ikkiscuttlebugcupboard.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/using-your-eazi-scoreboard.html. I decided to have a go and see what I could do. Here is the results:
