At the artisan market on Saturdays where I am a vendor, I try and spend lull times perusing magazines I've accumulated throughout the week. Often this results in driving fellow vendor Roger (he's next to me) nuts when I rip out good photo reference. riiiiiiipppp!! He's a sweetheart and has an amazing sheep farm near my home.
And a few weeks ago I struck gold.
This article in Oprah's magazine influenced me deeper when I spotted this bag in the same magazine:
Piercing. Seemingly everywhere. Those visuals developed into this:
and packaged up like this:
Made two sets of cats (Memory Box dies: large sitting cat) and two sets of dogs (Labrador) and they were quickly snapped up the following Saturday. Pillow box from Clear Bags. Gray tag; licorice Divine Twine. The metal ornare piercing plate and piercing tool was purchased at Ellen Hutson a few years ago.
Will be back tomorrow with how I organize all those dang Studio Calico wood embellishments. Best wishes for a great week! Riiiipppp!!
