Can you tell what this is? A new project that I've started....and hopefully will be wonderful when I finish...well, we'll see!! This is the lid of a very old suitcase! It has seen better days and of course, you KNOW that I've saved the beautiful pocket, but have decided that the lid itself is a wonderful canvas ~ so, it being uneven and grubby I decided to give it a coat of liquid gesso ~ so we'll see if I can give it a little bit of a transformation ~
I bought this beautiful print a few years ago from a sweet friend of mine, she was having a sale and has the most wonderful taste. I've had it hanging in our master bath and decided to take it down, take the frame apart and make a few color copies of it!! I just took it to Staples and they were able to copy it being the size that it was. Now, I'm seeing it in this suitcase lid ~ with a backdrop of sheet music I think....hmm. We'll see ~
Another "little" project in the making....a paperclay snowman head! He's drying now so I can give him a little personality ~ Don't you think he would be a great gift to go along with the magazine giveaway???
A bit of inspiration for you....I love Deb's Curious Sofa blog ~ and I've always loved Elizabeth of Elizabeth House ~ well, Deb has taken pictures of Elizabeth's wedding!!! You have got to see her gorgeous dress created from what I believe is an antique table covering!
Wishing you a peaceful, relaxing Sunday dear friends ~
xxoo, Dawn

That was a wonderful wedding...lots of ideas there for anyone to use at many gatherings. I loved the Edwardian outfits...way cool!
You have a great Sunday as well ... can't wait to see what happens to that suitcase lid.
Your current art project sounds fabulous! I look forward to the finished piece!
The wedding looks like it was an amazingly beautiful event.
When you get creative, you really do it up right. I'm anxious to see the finished products!
Dawn, I love the snowman's FAT cheeks!
He's going to be adorable.
Can't wait to see what you do with the suitcase lid.
I still haven't finished my tri-cone project. Hoping to today. Finally found most of the embellishments.
Sometimes we just have to wait until we find the perfect accompaniment, don't we!
Have a wonderful Sunday!

What an interesting project or two you have on the go there Dawn. And the wedding spread....so beautiful. Makes me want to get married again!
I visit Curious Sofa often and saw the wedding pictures....what an awesome store! Her Halloween was to scream for...so unusual...such imagination....just like someone I know named Dawn!! XO Judy
Wow what a wedding! That dress was to die for and imagine that she designed it herself!
I see something magical and wonderful in the works in the suitcase lid. Love the print you chose to use and can't wait to see the outcome.
AHHH !! I can't wait to see both of these projects when you are done with them ~ I just know they will be as cute as can be ~
xoxo,

the wedding looks like a dream come true! and rest and happiness to you, dear one~
