I'm back with my bottle obsession and I've been playing with the new Frosted Glaze for this one, trying to create vintage embossed glass out of pretty much nothing. If you hop over to PaperArtsy to take a look, watch out for the midnight weeds, distilled into the poison bottles, thrice blasted, thrice infected (a triple infection - appropriately for a triptych!).
Thanks so much for stopping by and hopping around today, maybe twice... if you missed my Winter Branches over at Calico, do take a look. I'll be hopping around Craftyblogland in between workshops and train travel this week, so I'll hope to see you soon.
Thoughts black, hands apt, drugs fit, and time agreeing,
Confederate season, else no creature seeing;
Thou mixture rank, of midnight weeds collected,
With Hecate's ban thrice blasted, thrice infected,
Thy natural magic and dire property,
On wholesome life usurp immediately.
From Hamlet by William Shakespeare
SPECIAL EXTRA (making a hopping triptych!)
I'm very happy to say that my collection of tiny houses, What Makes A House A Home,
is being featured over at Scrapbook Expo this week - I'm very honoured, thank you Lorraine.
