Tonic studios handbag dies

I made this handbag using the Tonic studios Kensington handbag die set, except for the little tags which were from Tonic studios Chelsea shoulder bag die set. I got my decorating inspiration from Tim Holtz. The handbag straps, hearts and brown tag were made to look like fake crocodile by using texture paste, Tim Holtz crocodile stencil and Dylusions ground coffee spray.
I had a lot of fun making this handbag for a friends 50th Birthday...

Viking Beard Invasion

Since making my Brother a Raiders green Viking Beard, I have made another 4 beards, 3 in Raiders green and 1 black one... they are the first of a number of beards that I have orders to make.. 3 went into the mail today and 1 will be hand delivered at the Canberra Raiders game tomorrow... I am looking forward to seeing pics of them being worn..

I have made some twisted ties to attach through the buttonhole so the beards can be tied on instead of buttoned on..

I can't believe how I squeezed into the other room.. I have just finished put everything away... and thought I would share pics of my fab craft room.. I am in heaven...
