WOYWW - Lifebook doings

Hello there and welcome once more to the Wednesday fun that is WOYWW, a fabulous blog hop where we all nose at desks across the world. Click on the link, read the how to and join in the fun.

This week I'm still in the lounge due to the bedroom, where the craft desk is, still being a little chilly. I'm hoping it'll start to warm up in the coming weeks but for now the emergency desk will do me fine.



I'm creating a dream catcher as part of my Lifebook class. The background is made from old safety envelopes, then painted over with metallic paint. What a shame the shimmer doesn't show on the photos as it looks fabulous on paper.

In the class, the tutor adds a doily to the page, I had a doily stencil so used that and stippled white acrylic through. I then poked holes through and added some string, from which I dangled Sizzix heart die cuts. These were all painted with the same metallic paints as the background.



I may add some dangly words to my page. I haven't quite decided yet. I'll let it sit for a while until I decide.


I'm off for a blog hop before I pack my stash away. See you soon.

With love from Horace.

It is cold here today too and the weather man says we are due for snow !!!??? Can you believe it ? Haven't seen snow here since 2002 !!!! Bitter wind from the North, so pup and I are staying inside today :-D

    Love your dream catcher, Horace. Now if only the Girls were so creative. They just make a mess and then lay down in the middle of it. :)) Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #62

    What a pretty dream catcher. Using a doily or a doily stencil never would have crossed my mind, but it perfect for a dream catcher. Judy #69

    Oh wow Horace, that is absolutely beautiful. What a clever bear you are. I hope the weather warms up for you, I'd hate to imagine how cold it must be there.
    Have a great week.

    I love your dangling hearts, Horace - I bet they sway beautifully in a breeze - and the warm golden tones are beautiful. I think you got the shimmer just fine in that last photo.
