twinchies









Another challenge - to make a design in a 2 inch square ( first find a ruler with inches ! )


from Awfully Big Art Adventure.

They are to be twinkly & glitzy... something I don't really do !



I'm pleased with the result and will give it to a friend for her birthday card this week as she loves sparkly things !


I used silk I had hand painted a while back, padded it out with bubble wrap added some stars & beautiful gauze with little crystals on and a few glass ( well plastic ) dangly things I saved from a beautiful set of Christmas lights which were broken. Outlined it all with silver ribbon.

  11. Even if you don't usually do "twinkly & glitzy", you certainly did it well!
