Fairy Dust Magical...and a Place to Express My Dreams...

Look what came in the mail yesterday!! This felted covered book created by Marian of Beautifulplace.etsy.com... is filled with blank pages for writing and painting and sketching my deepest dreams. ..
Marian says of this piece..."From the land of sparkling forest moss and winding woodland paths ... an eternal tree of life...


needle felted from hand dyed wool and wool curly locks. ~ 60 pages of heavyweight watercolour paper suitable for writing, drawing, painting and inks as well as drawing paper in ivory and a nut brown shade. Cover and end pages of natural, unbleached, botanical handmade paper are included. Pages are torn to size and stitched with a sturdy golden thread. Pages have been slightly edged with flame.

A little leaf bookmark is felted in place. closes with a handmade ceramic button with red headed woodpecker and a braided tie of handspun wool with sparkling leaf and berry embellishment."

This treasure measures 6" x 9" / 15cm x 23cm

It is a magical and earthy book for recording the eternal now...and dreams of the future!

Other etsy shops that have work incorporated in this one of a kind book are both... beautiful hand dyed wool from headleygrange.etsy.com and handmade bird ceramic button from meltinmuddstudio.etsy.com

This one belongs to me....yes..dance a jig happy!!! The good news is, Marian has other books and treasures in her shop just as over the top magical as this piece. Click on the title above...and be transported to another world!!!!! Tell Marian I said Hi!!!

What do you do with time on your hands?

This image is from my Etsy shop. I came into a wonderful grouping of watch faces and this one had so much character that I wanted to store a digital file of it before using it in a project. It did not occur to me at the time that the digital file would inspire. But it has become one of my best selling you print digital files. I still have not finished my project using the original watch face...but that does not matter to me at all...cause....

See what Mary Anne at MiddleEarths.etsy.com has created with the digital file. Aren't these just magical?

The colors and textures are great...but they conjure stories of maidens and poets and unrequited love... to me anyway:)
