I've just had the most fabulous Art Block trade
with the Lovely and Talented
Sherry
from
Here is what shabby gorgeousness Sherry made for me...
Isn't she a Beaut...
The wooden block has been painted, stamped and beautifully embellished with fabric flowers, lace, ribbon trims..
and these wonderful glass pebbles.
Sherry has used a metal punch kit
to stamp the words
'LOVE'
..which is very apt...because I LOVE it!!
Sooo Shabby....Soooo me!!
(You can't see clearly in my pics, but Sherry has also used Glossy Accents over the eyes and mouth to make them shine..... If you want to see better pics and to see how Sherry made this ...hop over Here )
-oOo-
and...
now this is what I created for Sherry...
Meet Paris...
I crackle painted my block first..
...drew and painted my shabby gal
added some vintage lace, buttons and a crackled heart.
..a doily, french ad, and a little shabby drawer pull
..and wings...Oh I do love my wings!!
Sherry has received my art block now...
...and I was so pleased to hear that she like it :)
Thanks again Sherry for another enjoyable and wonderful swap!
Thanks for Peeking!

Oh Jan, I don't just like it, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!!! It's still on my desk so I can continue admiring it! Thank you again xx
ps, I've still got the card you sent with on my desk too - I love it, is the 'Thank You' sentiment a stamp? If so, I think it's another 'must have' - lol x
Both pieces of art are so pretty!
