Just thought I'd show a little box that I've altered with some music paper, and some coffee dyed lace.
Do you like my rose! I am booked for a Workshop with Hels Sheridan using the Melt Pot, and DH said it was no good doing the workshop if I didn't have a Melt Pot, so he bought me one for my Birthday! I only had a small amount of UTEE, but couldn't wait for more to arrive, so only made a couple of things, this rose, using a silicone mould, being one of them, I added some Lilac embossing powder and this is the result. When it was cold I used a little gilding wax to the edge of the petals. My little leaves are actually white paper clay, coloured with Distress ink and then rubbed with a small amount of Glossy Accents.
I decorated the inside and added an image from
Nicecrane Designs, called
All Seasons Hats, which I printed out in Black & white, matching the music paper.
That's it for now, hope you're having a good weekend. I'm still trying to to do some catching up with blogland after my few days away.

Beautiful and has a lovely elegance to it.
