Blue, brown and pearls

And finally I have the spare time to do some non DT challenge work!

So this poor bare cardboard S has been sat on my desk for a month or so now waiting for something to happen and finally it has... I finally got inspired to work on it when I saw this weeks Colour Create challenge 'Blue and brown, extra options lace and pearls' ok so I didnt use lace as the only lace i have is black and it looked wrong.. and it also fits the Lots To Do theme 'Alter It'.
I've used:

• 3d cardboard mache S
• Brown dotty paper (Anna Stemplewska)
• 2 paper blue flowers (poppicrafts)
• 2 x 6mm pearls
• Lots of mini pearls
• Lots of patience lol
• Hot glue

Alter Something.... my new mirror!

This weeks Cupcake Craft Challenge fits in beautifully with a project I planned in my head yesterday... the challenge is 'Alter Something'.... Yesterday I nipped into Ikea to have a looksie at the new fabric range they have in and I found a square wooden mirror laying around and i thought it might be quite useful to have so I can look at jewellery on as I'm making it... then I found a dress in primark for £1 and the fabric was perfect for covering my little mirror!
I've used:

• Ikea 97p wooden mirror
• Blue bows and dots fabric- primark dress
• Chunky white buttons- primark dress
• Chunky white satin ribbon
• Small white buttons
• 2 blue buttons
• Large white flower
• Glass pearls
• Tigertail
• Hot gluegun

Altered shop jewellery

So during my time down south i've bought a fair few new clothes and now I've got the problem I just don't have the jewellery to match..so I had to do some altering of shop bought jewellery as I couldn't get new beads in time for going out in one of my new tops 2mo night... I added pink beads and changed some of the black beads and reorganised the necklace so there wasn't too much of one colour too close together... and now I have spare beads where I removed certain colours from the necklace :)

I've used:

• DP necklace
• H&M earrings
• Pink glass bicone beads
• Jumprings
• Recycled eyepins

Altered Drawers

Last week's Arty Girlz challenge is 'Alter it', so to get mine in just in time i've literally just finished it!
