A few little extras!

I've been a little happy go lucky recently with clay..... It's amazing stuff as you can form a huge slab of soft squishy grey mess into pretty much anything! So long as you understand it's going to be on a much smaller, non functioning object like a car or a bunch of flowers! 
I on the other hand have been making little dangly heart and owl plaques. The owl was imprinted from a necklace that i love, which I kept of my grandad's after he passed away. And the hearts were patterned with lace, fancy vintage buttons and a heart embellishment. I have also made a few VW camper van plaques which seem to have gone down well with the boys in the family and also gives the summery nautical feel to any bathroom. I love them and I love the colours they posses. 
Here are a few for you to see. 

Also, my uncle is dab hand with all kinds of wood work and with a few scraps he kindly whipped up a few heart shapes for me to play around with. I love wood, as it is so versatile and the opportunity of creating something with a few scraps, well.... I just can't resist! 
So here I have sanded the edges down, four hours later I painted them all in various colours, sanded them all down again to give a shabby chic look and strung them together with the good old garden twine.....which is also a big love in my life! They look amazing in any room....
Here are a few of what i have left and enjoy!
