Not wanting Cathy at Menopausal Musing to feel all alone when it comes to 'displacement activities' I decided to undertake a few of my own today and enjoyed a very pleasant few hours of play. Trouble is, there's quite a lot of clearing up to be done and glitter everywhere - even on me!
The sun was shining too and the brisk, North East wind dried the washing on the line in no time.
I used newspaper, aluminum foil (including gold chocolate wrappers) brown paper, sequins and glitter.

Lovely trees - 'artless'- which is a strange word to describe something created by someone so obviously artistic.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea...so simple and yet so effective!
ReplyDelete;-)
Oh so sweet.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous trees. Love them.
ReplyDeleteJill, Sal, Cathie and Sybille - thanks for your comments. Now I want to make more!! Bye for now. Lesley
ReplyDeleteI love these. Really pretty aren't they? x
ReplyDeleteThanks Pipany - newspaper, brown wrapping paper and foil work really well together and there's also the 'feel good' factor that comes from re-using them. x
ReplyDeleteThey look great, looks like you had almost too much fun, good for you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun "cutting and sticking". I've got a card I made for you, I'll drop it into the gallery ...

ReplyDeleteOh..... somehow I missed this post........... (and no! I WASN'T tidying!!!!!!!!!!)..................... they are absolutely lovely, Lesley.
ReplyDeleteCathy (PG) thank you - I want to make more and don't have time, grrrr!!! x
ReplyDeleteCathy (MM)are you sure you weren't tidying? It's a bit like being a child again don't you think, trying something new and having fun? :) Thanks. x
Love em....I wish I had time to do something crafty...perhaps next year! (For now I will have to just live vicariously through you!)
