Little Treasures

Remember the little sculpture head that I shared on Cheryl’s Window Facebook page?  Well, I finally attached part of a body to it and finished the project I was working on.   This was a gift for a friend of mine (Katie).  I tried to add things that I knew would have some meaning to her.

This was a really fun project to complete.   The head I was working on became the torso doll that you see in the Tim Holtz Configurations Box.  The box was decorated with papers by Riddersholm design that came in a kit from Flying Unicorn and Ideaology tissue tape.  After all the paper and tape were added, I used Distress Inks to add some more color and ink it all up.   The Ideaology legs were painted, inked, and misted with a little Glimmer Mist.   The flourishes were colored with Glimmer Mist and some Glimmer Glaze.  I wanted a variegated look and was able to achieve that.

The Flying Unicorn kit also had these mini cards in them.  I cut part of the doll’s arm off and added it here to create my “good hand” scene.

See the little bird behind the antiqued cage?  T!m Holtz dies and inks for this.

I was able to use some of my own stash as well as go shopping at a quaint little mercantile store here, White City Antique Mercantile.  There, I was able to find a complete miniature tea set, which I only used part of for this collection, little tiny mason jars, and a wonderful little sewing machine.  TEA was made with scrabble tiles.

Here is the cute little sewing machine.  It is actually a little pencil sharpener.

This project was all put together with Helmar Acid Free glue, Helmar 450, and Helmar Scrap Dots.   Have I told you lately how much I love my Scrap Dots?

I hope you enjoyed this little configurations box.   I sure did.
