Purses of reused material

Judging by the activity on my blog you might think not much creative work has been done by me lately. Luckily, that is not the case, I've just been to busy to get the things i have done online.

I'll start off by showing you some purses in various sizes suitable for many things.

 They are made for many different tings such as tablecloths, pillowcases, old tapestry, ribbons and more.The flat one has a strap that can be attached so that it can be used as a wrist clutch.

The two biggest ones are big enough to carry shampoo bottles and are lined with oilcloth so that they can be easily cleaned if something got spilled inside them. 

Patchwork pillows

The sun is shining and the summer is finally here. What do I do.. decide to shrink my leftover basket. The result were these pillows.

 

I won! :)

There are always plenty of giveaways taking place in numerous blogs around the web. As most of us do I write a comment and share whatever needs to be shared and think no more of it. There are a lot of people competing so chances are slim. 

But this time it was finally my turn, and the prize was a fantastic Hand colored D.G.A by the artist Rutheart whose blog you can find here

 The package arrived and on the front it had a small and exiting envelope attached to it.

 When I opened it I found a very nice personal greeting from the sender.

Inside I was expecting  an image called P i n n o c h i o but to my surprise I fond not just one, but two pictures.  Pinnochio was accompanied by "the last samurai" Both pictures was blogged about here

Repurposed paint swaps

Last summer I had various paint projects around the hose, and projects like tat generate a lot of pain samples. They looked very decorative all piled up and colorful so I decided that i wanted to try to give them a new purpose.

To get some ideas I decided to look to google for inspiration. And to my surprise a lot of different ideas appeared.  I knew there were a lot of creative people out there but that one could do so many different things with those small bits of paper really surprised me.

I decided to make these small notebooks. They were really simle to make and I used recycled paper cut to size inside. (Bills and formal letters always have half a blank side that I cut of an collected for a while for this project.)
If I stamp my contact information on the back they can be given out as useful businesscards.

New dominos

These are my latest dominoes. All of them are already in my shop, but now they can be used both as a pendant and a key chain.

I have also been getting a lot of questions about where to get the supplies to make the cake-stands I showed you here and. So I have added the information for those that are interested.
