Some New Altered Art Projects




Just wanted to show you these projects I've recently completed using the skills I learned from Nancy at http://sugarlumpstudios.com/  I've made 2 altered mini clipboards and an altered wooden heart . 
I used images on the clipboards from Blanca at http://magicmoonlightfreeimages.blogspot.com/ and the image on the wooden heart is from http://www.etsy.com/people/fadedtatteredroses 
I've really enjoyed making these, using the old images and papers and embellishing with vintage lace, mop buttons etc.
On the wooden heart I rescued some lace from a vintage handkerchief which fitted perfectly around the heart shape.
Hope you like these.
Have a wonderful week!
Robyn.

Blogger Trials

Well I haven't really been the most avid blogger of late. I spend too much time reading and enjoying other peoples blogs instead of paying attention to my own, and not to mention catching up with my creative adventures.
 I soo enjoy reading all about what other people have made and get excited to see what their latest creation or craft collection is. Am still working on Nancy's fabric book which I've learnt via her Parisien Dreams online class. http://sugarlumpstudios.com/ Also have almost finished a couple of altered clipboards from the same class, so will have the pics of those up soon.
Pop over and have a look at Nancy's blog, she does some amazing work and I can recommend her online classes.
 But the point I'm getting to here, is I've had a couple of people say they can't see all of my blog posts when they click on my blog. So I've been fiddling around with the template designer and as you will see, I've changed to a new blog template from Background Fairy http://www.backgroundfairy.com/ , so I'm interested to know if all is ok now.

If any of you are still having trouble viewing my blog I'd be pleased if you'd let me know, and maybe you can come up with some clues for me as to why this is happening.

 Hope you're all having a wonderful week, 
 Robyn
