Art From Shakti

This weekend I received art in a carton from Shakti. The first delight was this beautifully decorated box. From then on in, it simply got better and better! The box contained (for example) a crocheted pouch, an Indian goddess doll, an ATC, an absolutely lovely goddess cabochon, and, and, and...




Thank you so, so much, Shakti!

New Artist: Sammy Stafney

Little Beauties Slide box

I covered a slim box with the endpapers from a vintage book and layered on some of the old print from the pages. Then I cut an old photo apart and glued one part of the image to the inside of the box base and the other behind a microscope slide. Although it looked lovely and vintage, I wanted something to make the piece pop a little, so I added the pink accents, a couple of golden snowflakes, and a wooden bingo tile. These little beauties will, like so much of what I'm making at the moment, find their way into an Art In A Carton box.

Three More Sendouts

This past week, I've sent out three more cartons: one to Renata Fontenelle in Allison Park, USA, one to Carolyn Price in Mount Ida, USA, and the third to Arlee Barr in Calgary, Canada.

Art From Gena

Today I picked up a lovely carton of Art from the post office. Gena sent two wonderful art dolls, a gorgeous domino booklet, and a package of delightful images and charms as a do-it-yourself zine kit. She also included a roll of paper and beautifully (and naturally) aged pages from a 1939 French magazine. Thank you Gena!
