Wednesday

As promised - here are my latest buys
from a craft millshop i visited last week .
I was so excited to find this ...

A torso - made of plastic and covered with paper !

This has so many possiblities of altering this
item - i cannot decide what to do with it !
My mind is doing overtime , and although
i have had it a week - i have not touched this yet !





It stands 2 foot tall , and the black parts , are
mesh wire - as it is really intended for floral
displays . But i HAD to buy at least one , and i
can see birds and flowers being attached to it
somewhere along the altering process !








maybe some of these velvet flocked flowers i got -
in 2 of each colour . I fell in love with
the colours of these large magnolia flowers .











Some paper embellishments - gerba flowers -
another favourite of mine . And an organza
champagne flower coursage pin . To see
how it was constructed , and possibly making
my own .




A couple of unusuallly shaped canvas boards ,
not seen by me , until now ...
I`m not so sure what will be created on these ,
but i like to have some in when my muse strikes !





And this glass pendant was attatched to a candle .
It looks like Murano glass . The candle smells
divine - but i wanted just the pendant !!
I`ve put it on a piece of rose suede thong ,
and made myself a necklace !!




I also purchased some natural raffia -
For my nest - of course !!

But thought a photograph of that
would be boring for you all ! ;o)

I also got a frame -which i cannot show yet !
It`s for the Fun friday challenge i take part in!
That will be shown at a later date !



I hope you all enjoyed peaking at my buys !
