Fall Design Team Reveal #2....just my colors!

Today is the Design Teams second reveal. It is always fun to see what each of us has created using the same elements. This months offerings came from http://www.etsy.com/shop/wildheart515 and was beautifully put together. Visit her shop- it is wonderful!

Beautifully packaged goodies!

There was alot packed into that little bag.

Getting started is the biggest challenge for me...the deciding "what to do"..."what to create"? Well........I had to start somewhere, so, I pulled out the elements that spoke to me the loudest. The paper leaves...the tea stained seam binding and ric rac trim...the pearl stick pin with a few wonderful pearl beads threaded on it...the stamen spray and a mop button. Then the mulling was over. I knew just what I wanted to do.


All those wonderful little bits belonged in a Black Box.


I pulled out some coordinating papers, and an old photo holder and added a bit of black velvet. Voila!

This carved coral focal piece has been waiting for home for a long time.

I designed this piece to hold a personal photo. The back opens easily to access the photo holder, so, you can replace my photo with yours. It has inspired me to add some similar styles to my shop. Why should'nt your cherished photographs be displayed as art? I think this will be the first piece in a new series of products for me. Thank you Sadie and Wild Heart for the inspiration.

I have one more "reveal". Kind of like a p.s. piece....created with the rest of the items in my package to make this lttle "Halloween"hanging

Boo!

Reverse side. Looking at this now...it should have "Happy Halloween" written on the back.


I used most of what was left of my items. The book page became the ruffle. The paper flowers were folded then put together with the mop button for a center piece (I even used the cotton string to sew the button on). I dusted the pumpkin and the oval opening with the mica flakes.
