In the meantime it's sneak peek time here at Words and Pictures. I'm over at the Calico Craft Parts blog today with some crackled Christmas plaques. After the dimensional filigree verdigris baubles last time, I've been playing with the two dimensional versions.
After the fun I had with my Tim tag, I've been back at the gilding again - and I think it rather suits the Christmas baubles. I hope you'll have time to hop over and check them out, and I hope you're all enjoying some crafty time, whether it's Christmassy or not. See you soon!
Three phrases that sum up Christmas are: Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men and Batteries Not Included.

Safe travels, - any snow there yet? Oh and if you have a minute at some point I would love to know who makes that stunning Gothic script stamp?
Had a laugh at the words today--very true-well except for the peace and goodwill bit.
You sound so busy Alison hope you are seeing some of the beauty of Norway and the more out of the way places that have to be seen to be believed.
Love the hangings today and I needed a idea to use some of the Christmas shapes I have bought-thank you for shring yours

I LOVE your plaques, so beautiful Alison.
And your gilding technique gives fantastic results, I agree!!! :)
Hugs, Coco xx
Isn't it funny how something worn, tattered and crackled can mesmerize you for hours? It's beautiful in its own right and deserves its place in the ranks among the beautiful things. I'd rather have a china cabinet filled with your crackly rustic worn and aged gorgeous makes over the finest china any day!
I don't need to tell you that it looks amazing because you already know this, but I can tell you it captivated my eyeballs for the longest time. Thanks for the smiles. :)
hugs,

These are so pretty Alison! Love that deep crackle and the fun wooden letters and adornments! Julia xx
Fabulous crackle , Loved the colour blend under the crackle as much as the top coat . Love the touches of opulent gold contrasting with the aged look of the crackle and old book text . x
