Well it's very early days, but at least I haven't been tempted to buy anything yet. Anything craft related at least. It's a good start, and I have also been keeping up with the daily happy thought. Anyway, onto this week's makes.
I have made a mixed media piece this week. I started off with an old box that had flowers in originally. I painted it black, and then painted the outside gold. I then used some of my Calico Craft pieces. I painted them brown to start with, then green for the trees, before coating them with crazing medium. Once dry I used antiquing cream, and then rubbed gold wax on them. I added silver wax to the wolf, and gold wax to the moon. I added snowflake paste to the bottom of the box, then layered the Calico Craft pieces. I then embossed some snip art pieces with gold and silver embossing powder, gluing them to the side of the box. Finally I took an icicle part, covering it in glossy accents and adding glitter. I then covered it again in crackle accents as I wanted it to look like some of the icicles were cracking, before adding another sprinkle of glitter. Finally I glued that onto the top of the box.

Also, as always, is the update on the stitch. At least I know that I have plenty of cross stitch kits to be getting on with, as there is a sale at Sewandso at the moment!
Until next time
