You know you're the only one I'll ever love!

"Don't let the stars get in your eyes . . ." Are you familiar with that song? Well, since "Love Makes the World Go 'Round" this month at Altered Pages, I was perusing Love themed projects of Valentines past, and this altered tin caught my eye:

"Don't let the stars get in your eyes, don't let the moon break your heart"

This six-ish inch tin originally held baseball cards--I think it's prettier with the bouquet of velvet leaves and paper flowers.

"Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies, don't let the stars get in your eyes"

The sides are covered with patterned papers.

. . . you know you're the only one I'll ever love!

The base is a vintage wooden thread spool. Good grief, there's a LOT of embellishment on this one--tulle, netting, feathers, seam binding, tiny pom pom trim, gold star confetti, and a German scrap moon.

Check back all this month for more love-ly art. (Get it? Love-ly?)

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
