DUSTy Happenings and Other Things

What a wonderful week it turned out to be. I received my craft swap from Wilma at Empress Wu ............ a lovely winter bowl made from Merino Wool and Polymer Clay which I will treasure and some sweet charms that I will put to good use. The card attached reads "Dragonfly Bowl - this winter bowl is wet-felted by hand using a plastic resist so it has no seams. A polymer clay dragonfly coloured with metallic paint and powder pigments enhances the hand embroidered leaves" I am so in awe of people who produce wet felt products as I can only begin to imagine the time and effort that needs to go into producing the final product.

I also went to an Exhibition Opening night of three local artists with Del from DELiciousDesignz and my dear friend Judy. Thank goodness Del remembered to take a camera and these wonderful photos so I could share it with you all ! Thank you Del




I also received some buttony bling from the sale at Kellie Christie in the form of a button necklace and earrings and bracelet and I got these sweet earrings from RiverGum Jewellery and a beautiful fan pic from Laura (of Lunabella Originals)the Birthday Girl wearing her special necklace.
Oh and I must show you the bangles I purchased from DELiciousDesignz - how fab are these ?


All in all a lovely week with lots of creative inspiration all around me

    It was a lovely way to end the week sam - a very cool exhibition and I wish I could afford some of the artwork.

    I agree Del - hopefully she will release some prints at a fraction of the cost :)
