LOC Butterfly Pendant

Another late night post for me today - I have been wanting to get this project posted much earlier but you know how it is one thing leads to another and before you know it - time has gone and it is another late night - not that I am complaining - tonight one of our friends, Jack, called in and had a CARTON of things for me - he has been sorting through some things and thought I would like them for card makiing - some of them being some very old Hymnals, one of them as old as 1902 - I gave that one back to him as it was in such great condition I could not have used pages from it..this pendant is sitting on one of them this one is from 1931!

I am really enjoying the Altered Art side of things with Layers of Color, infact if you check out the Layers of Color Blog here you will see that 'Grand Opening' of my Altered Art Gallery - how amazing it was for me to wake up to this post - thank you Laura...for this great opportunity - I look at these projects and am amazed that I am 'going there' with my art...who would have thought!!  I am pleasantly surprised at the way this passion of mine is evolving and fine tuning....I remain totally addicted!

I used a glass circle that Laura sent to me along with some other COOL supplies, I had admired her work with them in her Layers of Color gallery...I used the Butterfly Collector art stamp set and coloured it with chalks addng some shimmer with glitter pens and Kindy glitz. 

I used glue to attach the image to the glass and then added some braid that I have had collected along the way, I think it had been used for upholstery,  I glued this around the edge of the glass and then added some fine silver ribbon, that I have glued and then stitched at the top, threading it through a silver bead.

I then added some beads and stitched them to the bottom of the pendant to finish it off.  The only thing left to do is find the perefct place for it - that will not be a problem!!

I am linking this project to the Flutter by Wednesday Challenge which must have a butterfly, angle or fairy.

Also the Inspiration Challenge on SCS this week, I was inspired by these Botanical Prints.

I also had a great time today when my SCS friend Michelle (aka happylittlestamper) rang and said she was coming over today - we spent a few hours together and had a great time - even managed to get a bit of 'stamping off' done!!  Thanks Michelle for making the time - don't you love it when you can get together with friends - a perfect day!!

Thank you for taking the time to visit today and for those lovely comments - you are always so encouraging, I love seeing that you have been!  My Saturday is coming to an end and it is just starting for many of you - have a great day!  God bless you!
