I am sorry, my camera was dying so these are like the worst pictures ever, but I wanted to give you a little glimpse into what I have been doing for the show...
For my table I made a burlap skirt and hung vintage sepia pictures off of hand stamped ribbon.I saw something like that in the Pottery Barn catalog and then on Melaine's blog and knew I wanted to take it for inspiration.
The hand stamped crate is going to hold my linen pillows.
I've been crazy busy making those square decoupaged frames that I have seen all over blogland, my flower caps, hand crocheted/embellished hats, bit's of art pieces and these which are my favorite...
Hand collaged and decoupaged cake plates. I want to keep them for myself.
They each take me hours to do, but I think they are worth it.
I did a few different sizes.
The bottom of the cake stands are finished off with vintage seam binding tape. And the undersides are decoupaged with paper as well.
What do you think I should charge for the larger and smaller plate?
I think theses two look cute stacked on each other.
I'm back off to the work table! I have to paint a few piece of furniture tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed your peek!
