What are words without music *

It is time for a new challenge over at The Mirror Crack'd and the theme this month is ''Masks''.  This challenge is being sponsored by Woodware and the prize is £12 to spend in their store 


Whatever your interpretation of this theme will be acceptable, albeit an actual mask, using mask tape etc.  I chose to alter a cheap thin plastic mask and attach it to picture board ( the insert to a Photo frame).  I used a piece of grey board, painted black as the back of the mask.  

I collaged a music sheet on one side of the mask and dictionary on the other half.   I stamped out several sizes of butterflies using the same pages and placed the word butterflies to the music side and music ones to the word side (not that you can easily see the detail).  I used braiding on the edges and through the centre of the mask. I then used earrings and brooch for the eyes and mouth.

That's it for now and I do hope you will call again and please head on over to The Mirror Crack'd to leave some love to the Fabulously                                                    talented DT and enter the challenge.

Hugz always

New challenge over at ANYTHING BUT A CARD F

Yes thats right a new challenge has started over at ANYTHING BUT A CARD. The theme is OPEN THEME - that means it is anything goes.

I altered an old box base.  On the outside I covered with old serviette to give it the wrinkled look.  I then painted it and used inka gold over the top.  I fixed braid to the top as the hanger bit and also around the rim of box  I lined the inside with black velvet from an old dress I used to be able to fit into lol!

  I had bought an old cheap looking clay mask from a car boot sale. I painted it and then decorated it using broken jewellery, handmade flowers for the eyes and feathers.  

I then stuck the mask to the lining and voila a Hanging box frame.

I must apologise for all the pictures but could not make up my mind on the ones to use for this post.

 

Why not head on over to ANYTHING BUT A CARD and join in with the OPEN THEME challenge this month.  Happy crafting to you all.

Hugz and love always
