"Nature's Promise"--New on Etsy

Hi Everyone~

For the past week, I have been creating this latest piece for my Etsy shop--a mixed media bird's nest entitled "Nature's Promise." To see close up, please click on the image.

It was created with cheese cloth, raw soy silk, fibers, and moss.

I adore anything with a "nesting" theme, so this piece is close to my heart.

And finally, here is a decorator tag with a flower seed graphic from Dezinaworld~Once again, I am reminded of nature's promise of birth and the wonder of life.

Some Shabby Goodness for You!

My entry for the Altered Egg Challenge.

I just completed this Heartsong Bird tin. I no sooner got it put into my shop, then I received an email that it was chosen for a Shabby Chic Etsy Treasury--I was excited! If you'd like to see the other items in the treasury, just push the link.

Tee's Egg

I have been altering books for several months now, but they have all been sent off to various galleries, so I was very excited to have this one to alter and put into my Etsy store tonight! I just love placing them on a table to create a truly vintage look.

Birds of a Feather

Hi Everyone~

I would like to share some of my Etsy shop creations with

you. As you can probably tell, I love birds and birds' nests.

Nesting

Here's a sweet little trinket box with hand-quilled

roses.

And here is a little mini "pocket" book that I made with

scrap book paper and images from Shabby Cottage Studio.

(This item is not in my Etsy shop.)

If you would like to make one, they're very fun--

and I have a TUTORIAL posted at Shabby Cottage Studio

if you would like to create one!

If you haven't been to the "cottage," you're missing

a special treat!
