Hi Everyone, my
card had pieces from these makes. I saw these and thought them cute and decided to make one. I was thrilled although the card used didn't curl as I would have liked. Even so, I was going out with my old work mates and decided to show them what I had made, (they like to see occasionally.) To my surprise they asked me to make between them 4, two for christmas and two "everyday". One for a memorial light. I hope they will like them, I don't see them again for a couple of weeks.
Here they are
the original pink tree

Here are the boxes I decided they would be better in.
I measured them on the Crafters Companion scoring board and stamping with magazine freebie stamps,
which I tried to match to the paper I used as far as I could.
Sorry not good photos we had a dark day and rain today
Here are the pebbles in my title.
We had a rare outing on Monday and came across this gentleman in Porthcawl sorting pebbles and stacking them, we just stood and watched amazed at his patience and how he stacked them in different sizes, how he lifted a few I don't know, they were so large and must have weighed an awful lot, but he still managed to stack and balance them perfectly.
These are so clever, not surprised your friends want them
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous creations, Faith, so pretty. I love how you've made boxes for them too. Thanks for sharing the photo of the pebble sculptures, so clever. xx

ReplyDeleteThese are so cute Faith. You are very patient. My hands don't allow for much fiddly stuff these days. I am sure your friends will be so pleased with them. Kate x
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative and unique beautiful project. They are so very pretty and love how you made the boxes as well x. Amazing stack rocks too...We love Porthcawl when we visit South Wales and often stay there to visit family x
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous Faith, a good idea to make boxes to put them in.

Your tree-tealight creations are awesome, Faith. Had not seen these before.
ReplyDeleteGreat boxes to keep them in (super stamping!)
The piles of stones are awesome. My grandson once tried this.
WOW!! What gorgeous tealight holders Faith, lovely papers too, I can see how your friends ordered some, and I'm sure they will love them.
ReplyDeleteAmazing stacked rocks, thanks for sharing the photo, Kate x
Lovely projects Faith. We are off to the Greek Island of Thassos on Sunday and we often see stacked rocks there but not seen them anywhere else before. Not actually seen anyone building them though xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project Faith - I'm not surprised everyone got their orders in!
ReplyDeleteThe stacking stones are amazing aren't they? There's a British artist called Andy Goldsworthy who used to make sculptures like this but has now moved on to the most stunning 'outdoors natural sculpture'. Can't add link here but do look him up - he's amazing! x
What a fabulous and fun way to use tea lights for little gifts! I love the boxes you created for them too - perfect for gifting! And what patience that fellow had for balancing all those rocks! I'd be intrigued just watching him work too!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with the amazing tree and tea light projects, Faith, but even more impressed with the boxes you made to hold them!
ReplyDeleteThe man stacking the pebbles (I'd call them rocks!) is incredible. What a vast amount of patience he must have.
I can see why you got orders--love the tealights! How interesting to see the pebble stacking in person. I've only seen it on TV--so amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow absolutely beautiful as always thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW these are beautiful what a great idea and very clever -no wonder your friends loved them.Love the boxes you made too.WOW love all the balanced stacking look brillian.
