more on this one on the next post ...



Ok I'm excited,
I've just finished one of those gems that make my day and make me think that the world IS really as colourful as want it to be!

so... new project... The things that happen to buttons after dark

started with some superbly beautiful buttons from the 70's I found in a second hand market. they are like gems on there own. Then my friend Maria came to visit and she brought over other buttons for me adorable like little candies!
Then I remembered a little bag of buttons my other friend Anastasia had given me from her grandmothers treasure box. These ones traveled from Greece to London and from London to Cagliari. Then I went to Barcelona with it's beautiful markets and more buttons ended up in my pockets and handbag

buttons are comming my way all the time! they are everywhere and I need to give them a gem home!

so that's what i'm working on and soon more photos are on the way!

The Domino Game

nice to be back :-)
I've been making things in my little world but wasn't in a mood to share lately.
well I think this collection made me happy enough to invite people to see it so here it is...

I found these domino pieces in the second hand market of Cagliari which by the way turns out to be my favorite spot in this warm little city that hostes me now.

they are woodlike plastic dominos and on the back they where deep enough to become the perfect frames for a triptic image collage that wants to become an interesting necklace.
