Wall disguise?...

I've been dabbling again, this time with cross stitch. How this amuses me......

a few new pieces

Here are a few new pieces from this week. As per the usual, an old military button is sprinkled in with a spent, chain wrapped bullet and some vintage copper rhinos from the 50's hung from old chandelier crystals dripping with brass chain. Loverly :)

Madame Owl goes to WARPED TOUR!

So,I made this custom "YO! Benny Fresh" necklace for my home slice Ben from the band "Sing it Loud". He plays the keyboard. He's awesome at life and he'll be rocking this sweet emo-bling all summer on Vans Warped Tour. The letters are made out of red gingham fabric that I sewed and then stuffed like little pillows. Then I bedazzled it and TA DA!! Whooooray!
