My 100th Post ..... And Celebrating With .. Artsymama`s Artfull Blogging Party ! ..

Yes this is my copy i received yesterday ! A BIG THANKYOU to Kari for posting it to me here in the UK , and signing it too ! ;o)

WELCOME to everyone participating in Artsymama`s Artful Blogging party ! Even if you`re not doing anything and just having a look around for some crafty makes , i hope you`re all having a great day !!

So here`s mine .... An altered plastic plate ! I was intending doing a make with a beaded birdie , but it hasn`t arrived yet , from the USA ! So i came up with this last night , as i said i`d take part , and didn`t want to let anyone down .

Just take a standard plastic plate , like what you get for a barbecue . These had been reduced , as we haven`t had much of a summer to be out eating in the garden !

Stick a plastic doily on carefully . I`m not sure if a paper one will better , as this has a lip around the edge , and may not stick down properly or look even enough .......

Select some things you wish to apply ...... I chose a cut up vintage postcard , faux ivy leaves and a vintage button ....











I then added some shredded foil pieces , with dried flowers and beads from an old tiara i bought recently , wrapped up with a little lace .......

Then stuck it on the bottom .....









Added a a faux pearl string , held by an old pair of clip-on earrings , on either side near the top of the plate ...

An old bead is added .... to look like an egg .....

A close up of the finished plate ......

And there you have an altered plate ! Ready to hang or go on a stand to display ! You could use a ceramic one , if you like . Whatever you want to alter .....

Thank - you once again to Artsymama for inviting us all to take part in this wonderful celebration ! I can now go and look at all the creative makes out there myself !

And if anyone out there wishes to do a swap with me for this plate and supplies too - - please leave me a comment ! ... thanks for looking in !
