I'm travelling into a new way of working, a new country, a new language, and a new hobby which I'm passionate about. Come with me for some of the journey...

Bell, Book and Candle
Okay, there's no bell but there is a book, and a candle too.
Hello all, I'm delighted to be over at PaperArtsy again this evening as part of their new look. We're playing with Fragile Papers this fortnight, so my project involves tissue paper and book pages (no surprises there, then).
And no surprises that I'm still looking for illumination in these dark January days... so there's candlelight involved in my altered book as well.
I hope you'll be able to hop over to PaperArtsy and have a look - there's a brand new Lynne Perrella stamp involved if you need further temptation! And if you're inspired to play along with some fragile papers of your own that would be wonderful.
Stay warm and happy crafting!

You're always so clever with your designs Alison!!! And love that you look where possible to use light. This book/candle holder is amazing, the stained-glass effect on the front is super cool!! xx

I love this! As I love candlelight, you had me at the title, but it just got better and better. What a beautiful way to use that stamp, and I love the book chamber. Thank you, as always, for sharing your inspiring creativity! xx Lynn
Another wonderful project for Paperartsy - a great take on the fragile papers challenge theme. So unique and original, Claire x
Stunning, Alison!! OK-you've used the title of one of my very fav Jimmy Stewart movies (I love watching that around Christmas time) so, I just had to dive into this creation :) Oh, you said there's no 'bell'...sure there is...there's a 'belle'...the woman!! :) :) I love everything you've put into this and the glow of the candle makes this simply magical!! XOXO-Shari
Oh wow!! I've been over! It's sublime Alison. From monastic to deep Mediterranean - STUNNING! Nicola x
Fantastic Alison! You did another amazing job!
Hugs, Cathy-Lynn
Oh my gosh! Does the light from the candle actually glow through the book? That's just amazing and potentially hazardous (especially if I'm nearby).
Absolutely delightful. xxx
Wow wow wow this is another totally awesome creation. I love the front, especially all the colours of the metal painted on the front and I love the super gorgeous glow through the image. Happy Art :-) Kezzy xxx
