What's in your bedroom

Well we are still recycling things from around the house at Just For Fun so what can you up-cycle from your boudoir :)  or sewing box.Well I had lots of ideas dress up a perfume bottle decoupage an old handbag with some of the pages I cut out of the book, jazz up a pair canvas shoes but ..................... when your mojo goes on holiday with out you all these things seemed so daunting I would love to see if you can make them come to life for me :) so my creation for this week is very simple I coloured some air dry clay with wild plum AI and formed it to make a frame for a mirror I took out of an old eye make-up case and to hang it I've use those annoying bits of ribbon they put on the shoulder of garment, a great source of free narrow ribbon

Random or what

Over on UK Stampers we did a random swap send 5 things and make something with them well here's what I was sent This really got me thinking the eyes what to do with the eyes after a few false starts this I what I came up with. the ribbon around the edge of the tin, the X cut in half to make the jacket (now who'd have thought of that lol ) I cut the back off the eyes and stuck them to punched out flowers and a large silk flower folded in half to make a skirt, you might be thinking the face looks different, that's because I made a mold of the original and then replicated with pink FP and added detail with promarker, bit of an unusual looking tin but seems to work, I think lol

2 Tins

Alcohol inks of course as the main colour for both tins, this first one has a stamped image with Viva terra used to frame it and then covered with glossy accents .

Again the terra paste coloured with distress inks and perfect pearls , I embossed the flower stems but choose the wrong colour so it didn't show up the way I planned and went over it with stickles, the chipboard flowers are painted with distress paint with liquid pearls for the centers.

I enjoyed making these tins for a swap ...... steep learning curve for me as I had never done this before but I'm happy with the way they turned out ......... so what is the best paint for tins ??? everything I try came off to easily so ended up using sharpies.

Thanks for looking and any advice very welcome :)
