I really do need to use this blog more, so many people I'm now 'speaking' to you use theirs so my half-way into the year resolution is to def learn how to get this blog up and running and also upload some of my new makes.  Dare I say watch this space lol

My entry for the Crafty-Emblies blog challenge 'Wings'

Update

well update is a pretty open word. To update what as you will have noticed that since I set this up I haven't really used it.  The update is I'm hoping to change that. I now craft more, have started to go to craft fairs and sell my makes, which are more versatile than they used to be.  So watch this space and hopefully very soon there will be something to see and read.

first time competitor

This started life as a plain wooden photo frame. The frame has had various items glued to it including paper mesh, pieces of chain, a heart and flowers, then it was covered in metal tape, I used an embossing tool to ensure the glued items stand out then it was covered in black paint and copper paint which was wiped off and dried with a heat gun. This is my first ever entry to a competition so be gentle with me.  Thanks
