Many of my personal treasures are things I have created by hand. I love to create books and fill them with artwork. The book here has not been filled yet but wanted to share it. It is titled Ribbons and Lace for obvious reasons (smile). It is a vintage, scallop-edged book filled with pages in various tones of pinks and rose. The vintage image on the book has a lovely metal frame. I am a mixed media and digital artist and will fill it with that type of imagery and hopefully present the pages at another time.
The vintage table frame was hard to photo because of the glass covering the vintage image. I love this antique enamelled frame, it has such beautiful details. I made the jewelry box by padding and covering a chipboard oval box with a dainty patterned fabric. The inside is also padded and covered, as is the top. The top has a layer of pearls around the outer edge. The jewelry shown here is antique jewelry inherited from my mother when she passed away. All pieces are treasured.
I love birds and love to create birdhouses. This is a little wooden birdhouse that I have embellished with black and white tissue, a variety of pink flowers, feathers, and a butterfly. See the pink and burgundy feathered bird perched on the roof. Some of my embellishments include flourishes and a flower that I have glittered. Love glitter. I hope you enjoy these personal treasures. Hugs, Gayle.
