Thank you for viewing some  of the craft items I have created.  The circular wall hangers are created with sheet canvas on embroidery hoops and embellished with lace, embroidered appliques  and a cameo. The rectangular wall hanger is created using a wooden mousetrap. The bottle art is created using an antique jar and vintage labels from Lilacs and Lavender.

HAND-CRAFTED JEWELLED GEM JAR

PLEASE CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER DETAILED VIEW.


I love to recycle and have utilized an empty cosmetic jar to create a lovely home for small gems, earings, pins, etc.  I have used a black and white script washi tape on the base of the jar and created a beaded top from pearls. They make lovely additions to your vanity or dressing table.  As well, they are perfect for gift giving as well. Hugs, Gayle-A Tasteful Touch.

TASTEFUL TOUCHES OF AUTUMN


PLEASE CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER DETAILED VIEW





These are a few of my cherished pieces that especially display the wonderful colors of Autumn.  I love the various views that a single piece often displays and have included two such pieces for your enjoyment (I hope), as well as my own.  Clearly, the exquisite antique urn shows the detail featured on every side of this treasured piece that I received as a gift from a very elderly friend (lovingly known as Nana Ramsay) when I was very young. Her memories are embedded in this beautiful piece and she will always be remembered when I look at it.  Have you a cherished piece that you love to share?  Would love to enjoy it with you. Hugs, Gayle.

AUTUMN BOOK OF ARCHES

PLEASE CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER DETAILED VIEW

I have recycled a children's 'fat-page book' to create this book. I covered each page with neutral-toned patterned 12x12 scrapbook paper. I affixed a hand-created Gothic Arch to each page and stamped each page with a variety of rubber stamps. I also embellished the pages with hand-made flowers created with petals from Prima.

HAND-CRAFTED VINTAGE WALL HANGING

PLEASE CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER DETAILED VIEW
I have created this wall hanging using a wooden clip board.  Graphics 45 imagery is complimented with lace trims.  I have embellished with grunge board flourishes painted with gold acrylics, and adorned with paper flowers from Martha Stewart Living.  I have selected taupe-toned ribbons attached to the board's clip.  Hugs, Gayle.
