Movie Moments Cuff would be a Fabulous Accessory!

Have you ever noticed that in old movies they express so much want and desire with just a facial expression? So much is implied in the eyes. I think that the actors in the old romantic comedies were so talented and so is Colette Penketh from http://www.starandthimble.etsy.com/. She created this awesome cuff with stills from romantic films. I think this piece would jazz up many different outfits and what a conversation starter it would be. It is made with hand printed leather and suede. She has lots of other wonderful things in her shop so please make sure you stop by and check out this talented artist.

Burn Baby, Burn!

I tired a new technique today and I love the way it turned out. I got a wood burner for Christmas and I haven’t really used it much. Today I was getting some new images I really like to reproduce for greeting cards. The pictures are all old romantic pictures of couples so when I went to go put them together a light bulb popped on in my head that I should try out the wood burner on the paper to give it that aged look. Then I thought burning and paper might not be such a good idea so I grabbed a bottle of water and put it next to me before I started. Needless to say after a few attempts and some different angles I finally got the look I was going for and it is on this Romeo and Juliet card to the right. It gave the card wonderful texture, a new scent and a very authentic aged look.
