purses…
May 24, 2012
I made these samples purses on the weekend (in preparation for an activity I did today…) Romy’s is the one with Stump Smash on it…. This tutorial at Flossie Teacakes was particularly helpful – although the finish on mine never looks as good! The photos went on with T-shirt transfer paper through the inkjet printer – we were making souvenir ones for the girls today!

I was sad when I heard Maurice Sendak died this week… strangely, i got a Wild Things card for my birthday on Tuesday and Where the Wild Things Are was published the year I was born… I believe he was an amazing visionary…

It’s been a bit hard working…. and working on this… but it’s coming together and the photos are sent off. I called this ‘Veil of Time’…. it always fascinates me a bit when I’m looking at something really old (like Buda House from the 1800′s) and I know that someone has been there so long ago before me looking at the same thing….
