Not to long ago I entered a blog give away by Lilla from :http://justlilla.blogspot.com/, you really should check out her blog. She makes awesome things. I won!!! She send me a box she made and some goodies with it. Its so pretty, I tried to take pictures from different angles so I could share it with you guys.

Then I did a swap with a lady that probably most of you know very well. Linda from:http://bigartadventure.blogspot.com, agreed to do a swap with me. I feel very honored that she did. A fairy slipper went to the UK and this is what came back.....feast your eyes people!

Canvas and unfinished business...

Good morning folks!
How are we doing today?
I hope this days finds you all well. Want to thank all the kind and wonderful people that have left comments on my blog....you guys inspire me soooooo much..love you!!!
For today the posting is about my first try on small canvasses and an unfinished wall hanging.
The two canvasses are embellished with polymer clay. The background is my first try on crackle medium. This is fun stuff!!! They are painted with acrylic paint and the whole is finished with a gloss sealer.






The wall hanging is as you can see unfinished...duhh.. I was not sure where I was going with this piece, but last night I got the idea of how I want to finish it. Will keep you posted on when its done..lol.
The picture below is an altered house box...tissue paper, paint, polymer clay, glass bubbles, text and an altered refrigerator magnet on top.



That's it for today people...I am of to play some more!
Hope all of you have a wonderful great day!
Go and create!
Andrea.

Snowy Sunday,,again!!

Hello there people, how are we doing today?
Anybody else had enough of the white stuff...time for spring!
Thanks for all the inspiring and wonderful comments people, you have no idea how much this means to me! Two people have agreed to a swap with the Fairy shoes. As I promised, there were some more but I had to contact the owners first. Here are three more for now.

The top one is an old 'magic' shoe I have been told, since" humans cannot do magic",quote, it is safe to publish this shoe. The previous owner did not want me to share his name...soo.
The bootie belonged to Ascarn, When it came to me for repair it was actually beyond repair, she wanted me to keep the little teddy on the boot, so improvisation was called for. Now its sort of fixed and she tells me she cannot and does not want to pick it up, even though she paid for it.
The lower slipper is another one from Sarrafin, did not want this one back either. Well at least they gave me all permission to put them on the blog.
(Al slippers are made out of recycled wool .)
Ok folks this is it for now, have to go and battle my camera for pictures of a new wall hanging.
As soon as cam and I agree I will post them....that might not be today..lol.
Have a wonderful day everyone and go and create!
Andrea.

altered geisha's crafty musings: My First Blog Give Away

Good news!!

Two slippers have found a home!
Arabella's and Grafinni's slipper will be moving to the UK. There they will be cherished by their new owner Jasmoon Butterfly ( blog). She has agreed to adopt them for a trade. I am really thrilled about that, they will get such a wonderful home!
I am keeping what she is trading a surprise for now, but will post it when it arrives.
At the moment I am going thru another stash of these slippers and am trying to contact the owners. As soon as I have their permission, they will be posted. They will also be up for adoption in the form of a trade. Make me an offer and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Make sure you let me know whose slipper you prefer and what you offer for trade.
Have a wonderful great day people...and go and create!
Love you all!
Andrea.

Ok...here is a secret that I need to tell!!

My dear friends, it is time that I share a secret with you. Well actually I finally can, because I have been giving permission to do so.
For a while now I have been contacted by some that live amongst us, to repair their shoes. No...I am not kidding. We are talking sizes here that cannot be bought easily in the stores. I do my best to repair these shoes, even though they are sometimes really worn out. Then after lots of loving labor some of them do not get picked up by the owners, for several different reasons. Now there is a whole collection of these shoes and they are up for adoption. I have done my best to contact the owners and most of them let me know they did not want them back and I could keep them. There is one big problem. well actually there are two problems. The first one is...I do not fit these shoes even if I were to cut of my toes. Second, they are singles...and who wants to wear a different shoe on each foot? These are the reasons that I have decided to share them with you.
I did put a quarter next to them so you have a idea of the actual size......



Are we having fun yet???!!!
The colors are more bright then on the picture, the light today is not helping.
As they are: The gray and red striped one is a bowling shoe, the previous owner was Beltin, an elf with attitude I can tell you. Its made out of recycled wool.
The dark red, is a house slipper as they call them, used for lounging, Sarrafin did not think it was worth her while to pick this one up. This one is made out of felt.
The bright red slipper belonged to Kashimni, she just loves strawberries, somehow I think this slipper portrays that. This is a felt slipper too.
The pink one belonged to Arrabella, she loves roses and winter, does not make sence does it. Well she sometimes does not make sense either...at least that's my opinion. Who would not come and pick up a shoe like that. This one is made out of angora wool!
The gray with pink slipper belonged to Grafinni, she is a tomboy fairy with a big heart. Always polite and not demanding at all. When I contacted her about this shoe, she said that at the moment she could not come by, as she was out of the country. It would take a long time for her to come back, she said. Hence her decision to give the shoe to me.
Well my friends that's it for now. I hope you all enjoy my sharing my secret!
Wishing you all a wonderful day!
Go and create!
Andrea.
