I love making things to embellish my home and if they are personal I love them even more. Regular visitors to my blog will probably be familiar with Poppy, my fur baby. She's adorable and brings with her so much love and joy. Each day whilst on a walk she will find a stick and bring it home, when we get home she will leave the stick by the gate.
One morning last week I thought it be nice to make something with one of Poppy's sticks. Poppy joins me in my art room and she really did have a puzzled look on her face when she saw a stick among my stamps. Inspiration for the wire work came from Pinterest but I couldn't resist making it personal with Stampotique stamps. Which fits in nicely with this weeks challenge at Stampotique which is hosted by our Team Captain Kim. The theme for the challenge is 'Anything Goes', so it's a great opportunity to really go wild with your imagination and art materials and have lots of fun.
I used quite a few stamps: Dorothy, Toto, Banner, Stack of Birds, Floral Swirl and Tiny Handhelds. For the text I used Plant kindness and gather love, A Heart, Sometimes I pretend and May I always be....
Poppy and I really hope you like it!
Thanks for looking and we wish you a wonderful day xxx
Really fun piece. Now let's hope Poppy will leave this stick alone ;-) XOXO

ReplyDeleteI also have a "super dog," Samantha, so understand the emotion in making something beautiful out of a *stick* collected by Poppy--which she, undoubtedly, thought was beautiful and worth collecting! You have so creatively used these stamps to create something that mimics your life! It is indeed special!
