Neil .....

That sounds good Dawn!! I'm sure Neil won't mind if you do pink and glitter!!

Lol now I can't decide what to do. who votes for pink sparkle who votes for Deco Mache, more neutrals

Pink sparkle every time!!!!

Please tell me you are not going to put 'Jane' on it.........

no, not this time.......

Ha ha Jane, so looks like pink and purple for me then. glass glitter ahoy x

Pincushion Shoe




Paint the shoe with PaperArtsy Fresco - Rose and Sky


When dry stamp some random imagery with Plum Archival ink, use the stamp off the block to allow you to curve around the shape.


Add some bling with Stickles and allow to dry.


Stuff the toe of the shoe with tissue paper and the rest with stuffing. Cut a scrap of fabric and press into the opening to cover the stuffing neatly.


Use a glue gun to glue a co ordinating flower in place as seen.

This is a flower I had made previously and if you would like to have a go there's a how to make the flower tutorial at http://neelzexpressionz.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/another-batch-of-flowers.html

Wow!!!!! Amazing Neil, thank you!!

Really great idea Neil
Once again mine will be done as soon as it arrived - my fault not craft barns just so behind but getting there
So if mine could be done last Jane (pretty please with bells on)

No problem Pauline!

Awesome Neil, seeing as you conquered the pink, I've gone slightly different. used loads of pearl paste started off as just filling it in as bit battered but carried on with more of it and looks like made of mother of pearl. nice happy accident. Lol. oh and Neil, love how you've made it into a pin cushion. looks fabulous

Hi Jane my project is def gonna be late as my DT parcel was delivered while I was out today and its gone to the post office so I can't retrieve it until Monday xx

Okey dokey, let me know when you are ready!

I'm busy gluing lots of gems on mine and I and the cats covered in glitter lol

Oh let's have a picture!!

Can't wait to see!!

Haha, I remember years ago sitting on the settee making mandala xmas cards, loads of glitter and I dropped the pot in my lap....
I scooped up as much red glitter as I could and then thought I'd just stand up and brush the rest off onto the carpet and Hoover it.  Aaaah didn't realise dog underneath......poor macho male Rottweiler lost his street cred as he went for a walk sparkling for days after!

Don't think he ever forgave me!

so funny Jane, my ex used to make me strip in kitchen and get Hoover out so I stopped using it. i love glitter, I used to do the Mandala too. it's been lovely to all shiny.
