Button Fairy

This button fairy is for Morwenna for a swap via Künstlerdecos.

Icicle Dolls according to H.C. Andersen

These Icicle Dolls are made according to the fairy-tales of Hans Christian Andersen : "The Snow Queen" and "The Little Mermaid". I love his fairy-tales. The dolls are for the swap of Belinda. The silk for the mermaid is self-dyed. The snow queen is sewn with organza with iriscedent white and silver, I couldn't catch the shimmering on the photo.
I have made three Renaissance Icicle Dolls for her swap, too.

Torso for Jewellery

I have painted and stamped this torso as a gift for Stefanie in her secret santa sister package. I hope she will put some necklaces on it.

ATC Pocket Quilts

These are ATC pocket quilts. You can change the ATC in the pocket as you like it. These three are made for my secret santa sister gifts.

Seashell Brooches and Gift Embellishments

I have made some brooches and gifts embellishment from seashells. I have added little round old pictures, pearls and little semi-precious stones like the oval garnet on the upper brooches at the right side.

Refrigeratormagnet

These three magnetpins are for Diana. One is made from a shell found at the northern seaside. I have made some similar shell brooches for wearing and for decorating gifts.

Crazy Birds

Renaissance Icicle Dolls

I have sewed a series of renaissance icicle dolls. They look so great all together that I like to show you them. They will go out as Xmas gifts for friends. And I will make some similar for the icicle doll swap from Belinda.

Secret Santa Sister

These are the wrapped gifts for three members of the Künstlerdecos group for the "Secret Santa Sister Swap". A lot of handmade things that I will show after the 24th of december plus things for inspiration and materials for creating...

Skinny Alphabet Book: Z for "zest of life"

A fabric page for my Skinny Alphabet Book for the letter Z. All images are stamped on fabric.

Fancy Scrap Crow Mobile Pocket

I have seen scrap crow dolls in the latest issue of "Cloth Paper Scissors". Yesterday I made a mobile pocket for Stefanie in the same style. Now I have to let this crow fly away :-(
And thank you to Johanna and Gisele - for the information about this fantastic and inspiring magazine.

Icicle & Dotee Dolls

Great fun to sew and embellish such little fabric doll hangers !

Metal Craft Brooche

This a brooche also for a Künstlerdecos group swap. I have stamped a piece of brass foil and embossed the lines of this house motif with a knitting needle. Then I have coloured the embossed house with black acryl. Above this brass house I have put copper net and some metal embellishment. The background is cardboard with black felt on it.

Little Girls ATCs

These ATCs are for the Künstlerdeco group. They were made on three different days: "orange day", "pesto day" and "walnut brown with mica day".

Numbers ATCs

Two ATCs for a "numbers or letters ATC" swap. I made two ATC with letters, too, but I was disappointed about the results and started again. Maybe I like numbers more than letters.

Skinny Alphabet Book: X for "X-Pression"

The challenge for the X page was to embellish the letter X and just to use the X. I have taken a digital collage from a magazine because it has a very strong expression - another good reason for arting ! I have added some stamping and my decorated X.

Skinny Alphabet Book: F for "Fantasy"

Black & White with a Smidgen of Color. That was the challenge for F. "Fantasy" is a good reason for arting, isn't it ? And can you remember how it was to be a child living and learning in your own world of fantasies ?

Skinny Alphabet Book: T for "Tactile"

The skinny book challenge was using either tissue paper or paper dinner napkins for the letter T. I have used tissue paper, gel medium and acryl for the background. I like the feeling of textures and different materials. This kind of sense is a very important reason for arting for me. That's why I have chosen the word "tactile".

ATCs with gold leaf

Two ATCs for Ute with gold leaf.

Sewing...

I am in the mood for sewing. Here are some finished little things : hearts with wings for chrismas decoration, the cats are nice-smelling for the wardrobe and two little bags for everything. There are only 58 days until chrismas, so it's time for making presents...
