Wonderful White Wednesday

It's A Wonderful White Wednesday! 

Today I am  sharing some of my latest white projects with you today. 

 
I love making Memory Pillows.  Pillow is  made with two ruffles on outer edges only.  Edges are frayed.  The doily that was picked up at a flea market and I added buttons for details.  The upper corner is decorated with scraps of fabric tied into a bow, bits of lace with lace rolled rose and bling center. Inside the pocket, I have tucked my favorite vintage picture of my Great Grandmother Bessie. and a graphic image from The Graphic Fairy.  I didn't know my Dad's grandmother, but I often what she would think about becoming part of my branding logo and in so many of my projects.  What special items would you put in your Memory Pillow? 
 
 
Large White Angel Wings have been cut from vintage ceiling tile.  The wings are so pretty hanging on a wall or sitting on a shelf.  Lots of versatile ways to display to add the perfect compliment to your shabby chic décor.
 
 
The frame was repurposed from a broken clock picture.  I replaced the broken glass and picture with chicken wire.  This makes the perfect memo holder with the clothespins that have been painted pink with some fluff and buttons.  Chicken wire also makes great bow holders for your little ones or use as a jewelry holder for yourself.  Possibilities are endless!
 
Flowers is the upper corner is a Vintage Shabby Chic Inspired Headband.  Includes 3 roses made from lace with a bling center on a torn and tattered doily with pink crinkle ribbon and string loops of pink seed beads. 
 
Dimensional wings are also made from vintage ceiling tile.

Altered Picture Frame

Hi Everyone,
Today's post and Etsy listing is for an altered picture frame with a mixed media collage technique.  It has an off-white crackle finish on the frame and the area surrounding the picture.  The matte is loaded with several different laces, muslin fabric, french script paper, ribbon and cheesecloth.  All has been tea stained for a worn and vintage look. 


The frame will hold a 3.5 " x 3.5" picture.  I have added a picture of my Great Grandmother, Bessie Herring, taken when she was about 8 years old.  It can be removed to place your own picture.

Don't forget to check out everyone listed on the right for Bloggers' Bodega!
