Lately I have been in a bit of a creative slump. I know it happens to everyone from time to time. It was really getting frustrating though. I thought I would step back for a while and see if my creative mojo returned. I found myself thinking more about the details in things rather than having a "plan" for what I wanted to make. I began gathering my materials focusing only on the colors and details in things. They began to come together and take form. Above are two "altered tussies."
This one began with just the picture of the girl and some lace.
This one reminded me of a woman with the dress and the cone of the tussie is her shoe.
Here is a close up. I used all vintage laces and trims for this one.
Finally there are two journals in shades of blue, again the details play a large part in the overall look and feel of the piece.
The paper for this one I held on to for over 2 years before I finally was ready to use it. She was just so beautiful I didn't want to let her go. These creations and more will be available this Friday, June 19th for Pink Friday. Please be sure to visit all of the participating boutiques for some wonderful Favorite Finds this week!
