Hello all!
Thank you so much for your company in this busy week of daily postings... I've been on the road almost throughout, but should - all being well - be safely in the Czech Republic by the time you read this.
Today it's another sneak peek, this time to tempt you over to Calico Crafts where I've got a French-y, chalky, rusty, vintage plaque to share with you.
Cups of coffee at the ready, and off we go!
A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Lao Tzu
If you're catching up (as I may well be - internet access has been patchy en route), here's what you've missed:
- a Wonderful Life tag just for fun
- a springtime bird tag for Artistic Outpost
- the melancholy, musically inspired Cry Me A River hanging board for Artistic Stamper
- the multi-media Time to Bloom canvas over at Our Creative Corner
I think Time to Bloom and this Calico plaque are probably my two favourites of the week... or maybe Cry Me A River. But you can see what I mean about busy?! I'll leave you in peace for a few days now!! Hope you enjoy yourselves over at Calico.
Update: I'm completely thrilled to be honoured by Tim Holtz again as a Blogworthy Link, this time for my Dream Play Grow wallet. And it's all the sweeter because I'm alongside some of my favourite crafters (and team-mates!). Thank you, Tim. Oh yes, and safely arrived in CZ too, thank you all for asking!!

Just wanted to come by again and say thank you for coming over to my blog. Congratulations on making the Tim Bloglist but it is no surprise that you did - cos your stuff is always so awesome and wonderfully genius. My paper did go well - I even got a few invitations to present the same paper at other Universities - so I was pretty stoked about that. After all that hard work, I needed a holiday. So I am on a little mini holiday right and am not going to be able to blog for a while or reply to comments, but I had to steal a few moments to come by and say thank you so very much for your lovely comments.
A beautiful piece, love those textures and cracks so effect
Layering, love the chandelier and metallic effect
Lovely coloured embellishments and the image transfer is very cool
Jools x
Oo la la!!! I LOVE the chandelier! Awesome piece!
I love visiting your blog. There's always something wonderful to discover. :)
Have a safe trip!
Glad you arrived safely and kudos for the call out from TH! But many of us already know how much you rock it!!

This really is fabulous Alison, I love how you've added rusty bits - never thought I'd say that lol. Enjoy you time away, on congratulations on the TH shout xx
Wow wow wow absolutely gorgeous stunning creation, I really love the part transfer it really gives the whole piece a vintage theme, I love how you have mixed the crackle and vasaline technique, I really must try that as both techniques are my favourite. Another think to add to my shopping list is that awesome champagne paint effect. Seriously Alison, my bank doesn't like me reading your blog lol lol lol. Kezzy :-) xxx
