Leaping Lizards......

Hello everyone!!

Yes finally here - managed to concentrate long enough to do a crafty project - lots of fun!!

I was sent this picture through an email and I fell in love with it - wish I knew who to credit it to! Anyway I decided to 3d it and then make it into a wall hanging.


I used a frame from Ikea and used a silver paint pen to colour the frame - sadly the picture got lost in the glare so I changed it today by covering the frame in black cardboard. Then added silver dots to add some glitz to a basic frame. Not 100% certain on the dots inside the dip - but it does look a little different in day light.




Just a blurry side view of the 5 layers I did the picture in. Its not an overly deep piece but it is deep enough to make an impact - I wish I could capture it by photo how you can see it with your own eyes. The clouds leap out, the waves crash and the dolphins are happily frolicking.... Such a calming picture!


Well I guess I had better share an award or two I was so kindly awarded last week (sorry for delay!!)

This is from Sharon I am honoured to recieve this :)
I am glad you think my blog has a heart :)


I have to pass this onto 5 others...... I will have to get back to you on that ok :)



Secondly Joanne has awarded me the



Here are the rules:
a) First list 10 honest things about yourself making them interesting

b) Pass this onto 7 other bloggers who you feel embody the spirit of Honest Scrap.

10 Honest things about myself.....

oooh this could be a bit intimidating.....

lets see!!

1.

I am trying to learn not to put everyone else ahead if myself - I am worth it

2.

I find it really hard to say no - so get easily used and abused (I am learning to say no a bit too!)

3.

My bro, SIL,a friend and myself have just started an exciting adventure - which I will share more about another time (exciting but scary )

4.

Although I am 35 I havent done much "living" so I cant relate to others my age in ways of the world

5.

Just been signed up for Facebook and am petrified!!

6.

I punish myself by eating naughty foods (the guilt is BAD)

7.

I am totally unorganised

8.

I am an administrator on a craft forum and set lots of things for others to do but never seem to do them myself

9.

I like to encourage and help others be the best they can be

10.

I should practice what I preach!!

Finding more 'things' to tell people about myself is really tough. I just point to the link to '100 things' I have on my blog and leave it at that.
