I'm still here! A bit busy these days, most of which I can't share with you quite yet.
But here's a piece I did recently. An altered cigar box
I fell in Love with this image from The Graphics Fairy
I made a fabric transfer of her with the printable PC paper then ironed onto fabric, easy peasy!
Stitched onto layers of fabric.
I painted and distressed the cigar box, some antiqued trinkets.
I guess you could say this is a collaboration of sorts.
The hummingbird from my friend Jo, some lace from Debbie,
metal flowers from Oxana,
and the metal plate from Mindi. What generous friends I have!
All came together to make a Lovely box, Don't you think?

Ohh yes Lynn,
I do think this looks like a very pretty box.
When you said 'transfered onto fabric' I wonder if you used your printer from pc or a medium?
All the added bits just add to the feminine side of things. Fabulous!
Happy creating and happy Easter.
Hugs,
Anna
I'm also intrigued with how you transferred the image onto the fabric as I've not been very sucessful doing this....the box looks divine

I do so love this Lynn, and it's using one of my favorite images from the Graphics Fairy. I love the little girl with the bird. So pretty, you definitely put it to good use! Hugs!
Lynn,
This is so pretty. I love seeing how you used so many things that you got from friends. I am so glad you linked onto Brag Monday. I really look forward to that and my inner paper and fabric worker (who hasn't quite found herself yet) loves to see what people do with the images. I was reading some of the comments and I think you need to do your next blog on your transferring techniques. I used Leslie Riley's TAP for twelve sachets I did for a swap and I loved it but it is expensive and I wish there was something else I could use.
Hugs,
Suz
Gorgeous! I feel like I've been away forever!
Wow! What a beautiful transformation! Coming over from Brag Monday and your newest follower!

The box is very beautiful, Lynn! I love the colors and all the pretty embellishments.
xoxo,
Julia
