Layers of Calico

Hello all, I've just a sneak peek for you today, hoping to tempt you over to the Calico Crafts blog to see what I've been up to with the Calico Craft Parts this time!


Combined with book pages and crackle medium and a few others of my favourite things, I've created a layered ATC... I'd love to know what you make of it if you've time to hop over and take a look.

Follow your dreams.  They know the way.
Kobe Yamada




Oh, and for anyone who wanted to see more of the "old house in Paris, covered in vines" mentioned in my Dollshouse Gallimaufry, it's now available for viewing over at Cestina's dolls houses... or at least Chapter One is!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a fantastic weekend everybody.





Update: Since the Calico Crafts blog no longer exists, having upgraded to Calico Craft Parts, I've altered the links in this post so that you get to see the project in full detail here at Words and Pictures.
