And then I have a HUGE parcel received from my lovely art buddy Dar, we did an art work swap and this is what I received in my swap. I am BLOWN away by Dar's talent and kindness! She is the best! You really should go check her out she makes the most amazing stuff! Dar did let me know that she went alittle crazy with stamps, sure made me chuckle!
Here is everything that was in the package, including a gorgous handmade card with a lovely letter inside!
Dar included so much of her hand made artwork that I really was amazed! A gorgeous little box with a tiny book inside and a special treat a little wire bird nest. The hand made flowers are divine!
And finally the piece of artwork itself, oh wow. I am totally blown away by the pure talent this lady has! Dar turned a book into a purse and decorated it with my most favourite theme - steampunk! I am over the moon! Dar even included a lucky penny to fall out of the wrapping!
Thank you so much Dar you made my year with this beautiful gift!

That is fabulous, Clare! That bag is to die for but the goodies would make me cling to life, lol! Congratulations!

What a wonderful gift! That kind of mail is worth a happy dance for sure!
Wow Dar really outdid herself :D love the pages too
very very nice haul,
interesting background and stamps woudl make good backgorunds to strat collaging, I'm really into texture pastes at the moment and using acrylics over watercolours to create fixed layers. Not keen on the pastels - they move too much and fixatives make me ill. Except I love doign fast work in pastels

Gosh, what an amazing gift to receive - how beautiful were all those items, especially the gorgeous purse. I always put in 'lucky' money if I buy someone a purse/bag - nice to see others believe in that too.
But the thing that knocked my socks off was in your previous post. That steampunk bird house is truly fantastic. I love the details of all those cogs and gears stamped on. My favourite thing I've seen on WOYWW today :D

What a fantastic lot of goodies you have there and that book/purse is stunning. Your test pieces are beautiful as well.
