Winged keys

I saw a post on the Tim holtz addict page on Facebook earlier this week, and decided to make my own version. These are obviously based on Harry potter, that iconic scene where Harry is on a broomstick chasing the key with the broken wing. The keys are paper clay, painted black and then coloured with wax. The wings are Tim holtz transparent wings that have been coated with tonic glimmer paste.

I deliberately left the keys a little bent to add some authenticity. They are supposed to be old keys for a castle after all!

Aside from that, I haven't done much this week. It's been a low week, which means I haven't felt the pleasure I usually feel in creating something. I've not done nothing though; I've got a project in mind at the moment so I've been preparing pieces for that. Here's a teaser. 

At least I've been using up some of my stash again! 

I've nearly finished my cross stitch, in fact I hope to finish it today. The only thing to do now is the snow French knots. 

I can't promise there will be more on here next time. It's the long week at work, and so far I still do not feel creatively inclined. That may change though, and I have a week off after that so there should be plenty then!
Until next time Ems
