I was searching for something entirely different when I found these .. as you do!  I made the barettes from surplus buttons, jewellery and chain ... I had very long hair at the time and these worked a treat.

The little bags are based on ariel photos of a river delta and an African village and surroundings.  Made with silk, leather, metallic threads and hand made braids and tassells.
  I'm pleased with the way the came out. .. though I remember it was hard on the fingers!!

This is the super Domino Book made for me by Rosiemac .... my theme was Oriental, and I think she did me proud, I love it.

These are the cards .. based on books .. I did for an UKS swap.  The "rock on" one is for the host, Sian.  The others , I think, speak for themselves.

In the recent Tinchies swap, Chris's first parcel went AWOL .. we had the builders in at the time ... so she very kindly made me another one.  Of course, we then found the first one .. so I now have two gorgeous Tinchies - and this is the one I have made as a thank you.

There are 10 pages like the examples here, and the little tags are Tim's foundation pieces with vehicles etc on Safmat.(getting both sides aligned was a bit tricky!!)

I hope she likes it.

This is my offering for Yolanda in the Secret Vices swap.   There is a Kindle reading in bed .. a romantic file for it, lots of empty packets of Cheese and Onion crisps and stacks of stash scatterd about.  The drawers have a selection of buttons and fasteners and Steampunk type things, including four scaled doen Ocopode people.  I hope she likes it.

This is my Domino book for Moypoy , her theme? .. The Owl and the Pussycat.

I used alcohol inks on the dominos and printed the words of the poem, together with relevant (I hope) images from digital kits , onto two strips of parchment type paper joined together like a concertina.

I don't like ribbon closures much .. too fiddly for me .. so I added some shaped side pieces and thin magnets which hold it together rather well.  You just pull, gently, and it opens up.

I hope she likes it.

This is the totally gorgeous "Medieval" chunky that Jaykay made for me ....and the box it came in, together with the extra "pages" are a super bonus.  Aren't I the lucky one??!!!

These are my ATCs for the Grimm's swap ...The Crystal Ball, The Robber's Treasure and the Witch in the Wood.  They are all digi ... with the titles on the back so you don't have to guess!

This is my version of an ATC Chunky for Rebecca .. Alchemy/Apothecary.  It is based on those children's pictures of Wizards in their lairs with the obligatory crocodile hanging from the ceiling!!     There is a phoenix rising out of the steam and flying off round the side.  The Apothecary side has herby bits and pieces .. and the legs are a mixture of the two - flowerpots and chalices.   I hope she likes it.

This is the "frame" I have made for scrapnanny.  Its based on a Timmy configurations box, but as I didn't have one, I made this from chipboard with a heavyweight card lid -- missing the middle, of course!

 Her theme was "Nature - light hearted" ... so this old postcard with tap dancing sheep on the roof of the caravan seemed just the job!  The title says it all .... Did You Hear Hailstones?

I found this cross in a charity shop,

 and knew at once that it had to be

 used on a Chunky ATC.  It reminded

me of Spanish Treasure, hence the

chest and galleon!!  This one is all 

mine, not made for a swap.

This is the Tinchie I have made for Xmasbaby .. her theme was Time/Vintage  .. so I hope this fits the bill.

chunky - the sequel

This is the Chunky ATC I've done for Hotluca.  Her theme was "silent movies, glamorous women and the charleston".  I hope she will like it.

OK, these are the last two;
lou@papermaker's Silhouette
& Songs; and Voodoo Vixen's
Words & Definitions. That
makes me up to date ..
to September, actually!! ..
for this swap. You just
have to go with the flow, don't you?!!

I seem to be on a roll at the

moment .. these are the next

several month's pages for

the UKS sg "page at a time"

cj! She's Vintage sewing/ladies

... mine is 1950s; Irboo's Flora

and Fauna; KJJC's

Fun at the Beach; and

Dorothy Anne's Ladies and

Lace. They are all

digi .. but hopefully still

convey the sense of the

theme.

This is my screen for Leanie .. can
you guess its Carnivale?? She would
really have liked a 4' one, but I didn't have
a big enough box!
The colours are as near to duck egg
blue, cream and brown as I could find ..
I hope she likes it.

This is my page for Flo's "Wildstyle Graffiti" cj. She is a
follower of The Canucks ... so that's what I "wrote" on the wall.
I added their killer whale emblem and used their colours.
I hope its OK.

These are the next two
in the "send a page at a time"
cj. Honeypip's " The Fae",
and Shirley June's "Inspired by ..."
I hope they both like them.

This is the completed cj/hanging/picture for the UKS Artistic License cj. I chose a painting by Paul Klee and we each did one section.
