The story of a "Happy Tin"

Hi everyone,

I hope you are well....

We've had another bereavement in the family,

Our nephew (Robert) lost his fight with Cancer....

To keep my mind occupied, I've made this little storage tin,

I hope you like it.

I started life as an empty tin.....
I felt so useless....
Sob, Sob....
Then Sylvia came along & covered me with some glittery wallpaper...
She loves wallpaper....

Then she gave me my lovely Googly eyes,
A cute button nose & a lovely smile....
Now I'm a "Happy Tin"
I can look after Some of Sylvia's buttons....

Sylvia even made me a cute hat,
I am getting a red pompom for Christmas....
I'm so happy....

THE END

Items used.
Empty Tin.
Horlicks Lid.
Wallpaper.
Googly Eyes.
Red Button.
White Cardstock (Mouth)
Black Beads (Feet)
Gesso.
Black Acrylic Paint.

Thank you for your visit,
I will do my best to comment on all your blogs.

Lots of love,
Sylvia X

Spooky.......................

Good morning everyone,

I've been busy this morning,

With Halloween fast approaching,

I thought I would practice making some "Spooky" cakes.

I think these will be a hit with my Grandchildren.
I didn't use piping icing,
That's why the mouths look like noses !!!

 Method.

Thank you so much for your comments,

I can't remember where I bought this frame,

It was one of many in the loft.

I used Burlap to create the texture.

Method.

I dismantled the frame & coated it with Gesso.

Added my embellishments & also gave them a coat of Gesso.

When it was completely dry, I finished with two coats of paint.

I stamped in insert

I thought my daughter would like...

She will of course be putting a photograph in.
