Dandelion Clocks

I have been on lots of blogs this week that have featured photos of dandelion clocks ……. not to be outdone …… here’s mine….

They are so magical.

I have a BIG thing about them.  At the moment I am searching for just the right image to use on my glass tile pendants/fridge magnets, but so far nothing has been quite right.

Pictures of Ironbridge

I have been blog hopping and everyone seems to have added their snowy pictures to their blogs.  Who am I to be different?  Yesterday we went to Ironbridge, Shropshire which is about 15 miles away.  It was so beautiful and eerie, as you could hear the ice sheets on the river crackle and creek when they bumped into each other.

My Christmas Card for 2009

This is the Christmas card I will be sending out this year.  It features a photograph of two tiny snowman I made on the garden table in February, when we had a surprise fall of snow.  They have stones for eyes, twigs for arms and ripped up tea towel for scarves!

Once printed on a linen effect card, the picture has been mat and layered several times on silver mirror and red card.  It has been set at a jaunty angle, with a tiny peg giving it a just put together look, and the whole thing is completed with a two snowflake punchies with clear gem centre. I have handwritten the greeting, again mat and layered on silver.

The snowmen are supposed to look like me and my husband!!!!

Christmas Cottage Card

This is card I made using a photo of my in-laws house a few years ago.  I took the picture when we had unexpected snow, it was late afternoon and the light was fading into a beautiful blue colour.

I put the photo at a jaunty angle onto a blue background and  mat and layered it on silver card. To add a subtle sparkle I added translucent micro glitter to the trees, roof and ground plus two snowflake punchies  The greeting was done on my computer. 

Another Place, Crosby Beach, Liverpool, 26th August 2009

Crosby Beach, Liverpool, is a magical place.

There are 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometers of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea.

I left two wish bracelets on statues 88 and 91,  I don't suppose they will withstand the weather and the sea conditions for too long but I made my wishes and if they are found by other visitors, the wishes will pass on to them .........
