When you receive such a beautiful gift as this in the mail
your heart not only skips a beat
but you also know that
the sender is
so in tune with your creative appetite
that they are totally on the same page as you
that they are totally on the same page as you
in every way!
This gift arrived in the mail
so thoughtfully wrapped and prepared
in little parcels!
You can't imagine the size of this tiny Madonna image
which was framed in layers of lace
pieces, a mother of pearl button and with the tiniest
matching envelope all of about 2 inches square!
This is a most exquisite Bird and Butterfly mobile
and ithas been machine stitched together with cotton -
I have yet to share it hanging on our
antique dresser!
And there's no guessing why I received these
exquisite antique lace pieces
to be incorporated into
creations
if I have the heart to use them!
Have you ever seen the likes of this piece of Silk
and crocheted cloth - well actually it is
a pillow sham and I think that the
covered pillow in a coloured cover
would have been passed between the two layers of
silk and lace!
It certainly is stunning and most unusual!
I have never seen work like this before
and it is completely hand croched
and
hand stitched together!
A few cabinet cards two of which have
the most exquisite borders in a puce/mushroom shade!
How special is this angel card?
- the extensive wings and gown - sheer elegance!!
I think I have been blessed by an angel to receive
all of this amazing beauty
and
would love to share it on
Simply Neutrals Tuesday
with Wen on her blog at AppleApricot!
I promise you that you'll be amazed at all the different topics,
forms of art, architecture, mixed media subjects, nature scenes, etc. over there!
So pop on over to have a peek!
Many thanks for visiting friends -

A da Vinci drawing collaged so beautifully

some eco dyed silk I had gifted
my friend sometime ago!

Hello sweetie, you have received a most gorgeous parcel indeed! (Now I'm curious of course who sent you these beauties, especially also the ones she made herself.) I really love the idea of that butterfly and bird mobile. The beautiful laces you received as well, can't wait to see what you will create with them!

So very stunning gifts packed to almost wish to keep them closed, and then revealing such beauty when unpacking - They are little jewels, and such gorgeous pieces all.- I will wait to congratulate you dear friend- only wish you happy hours, enjoying all these goodies, and little art jewels.
