Alter It Monthly Challenge - Sirens And Deep Blue Sea!

This month at Alter it monthly the theme is Siren/Mermaid, ok, since I am not completely bilingual, is there any difference between a siren and a mermaid? I think no but maybe I'm wrong. So this month I altered a clear plastic box. You know, we all buy stuff and this was a box of pencil. And I choose to make a bird mermaid!!!! Yes, a bird mermaid! After I finished it, I just realized that it looks like a small aquarium with my mermaid inside! I had fun doing this challenge again!

And I gave her a real false pearl necklace!

Have a creative Wednesday!

Paper Doll

I am linking this paper doll wall hanging to Alter it monthly. The current challenge is Valley of dolls... Not an easy challenge this time! I can't alter a doll head so I choose to make a paper doll, does she fit to this challenge...?

Her arms, legs and wings are movable. I attached her to a box lid.

Have a creative Sunday!

Alter It Monthly Challenge - Canvas

In June on Alter it Monthly Blog, the them is canvas. So I altered a piece of canvas that was in my stash. I painted it blue mist, stamped it (I know it doesn't show much on the photo) and finally decided to cut it to make a small banner with, well it is not that small, the canvas pennant measures 5" x 8". I think it looks cute!

Have a creative Monday!

A New Challenge & A New Addiction

On Alter it monthly 's blog, I found a great challenge that inspired me. The theme is Out of the wood. So I altered a small paper bag with 2 covers that I cut from a clementine crate. This little girl is my mom in 1935. I glittered her wings and crown and I added the scrabble tile J because her name was Jacqueline!

And now my new addiction! It is to use my stamps directly on thin masonite and cut them with my scroll saw. I love my collection of new and unique embellishments. It is much more sturdy than chipboard. The pocket watch frame was made from a tattered angel stamp.

Have a creative Monday!
