Finished it about 30 mins ago. Mr B's cousin lives in Japan and his wife is over here for a few weeks visiting her Mother-in-law and will be with us for lunch on Sunday. She is a talented crafter and brings me something every year that she, or one of her friends have made so this will be her's. I hope she likes her - Mr B says it reminds him of a voodoo doll, not that he has ever seen one.
While I'm on a blue and green theme (can you tell they are my favourite colours?) I had a go at altering a large silver metal charm for the niche in my altered book. Got out the alcohol inks, blue and green of course, and was going to use glossy accents then grabbed the crackle glaze to see if I could get a veined effect on the wings, pleased to say, it did whoop whoop.
Photo doesn't show but it is shinier than it looks here. Final touch will be to add a few tiny beads in the hollows down the body.
And now for something completely different in style, a Mother's Day card for my M-in-law. Faux porcelain roses, an embossing folder, a bit of stamping with Brilliance inks and an aperture card.

Hi Ann, you have been busy! I think the doll looks like a very delicate Russian Doll. The dragonfly is just amazing. I love how you have coloured it. I must get my alcohol inks out!
Your little beaded doll is beautiful, I'm sure the receipient will absolutely love it. I have Sarah's book too - not looked at it for a while - she was such a talented lady.
Your blue and green decoration really shows up on the metal charm, it's going to look fab in the book niche. Talking of which, I've now actually started my book - just finished pegging the pages together.
Love the flowers on your card too x

Beautiful, Ann and I love your dragonfly, in particular. That was a stroke of genius - glad it worked so beautifully x
Wonderful work Ann. Your doll is beautiful and the dragonfly is stunning.

Love your doll - must have a look at this book - was with Liz last week (Sarah's good friend) and I bet she would love one of those dolls. Good idea to use up the beads.
The dragonfly - well, I have green envy. It is fabulous! What a super technique you have just come up with.
Great card too.
Must go, spent too much time tidying/reorganising in the stamp room.
Hugs, Neet xx
