Craft Group Creations

Our second craft group gathering was held at Rachel's darling cottage chic home last night.
Each hostess decides on the project for the month. Rachel decided that we should use miniature tart pans and little figurines to crate a mixed media piece.


I was at loss for a figurine, so I decided to use my Frozen Charlotte head in a whimsical way. I have saved this little can since living in Ireland. I had the idea to use it as the body. As you can see there is my version of the miniature tart pan, a large bottle cap for the base. This I covered with decorative card stock.  I glued two wooden disks under the tin to provide a solid base and covered the bottom rim with decorative trim. I drilled holes for the two arms and attached them with brads. Attached to one arm is the tinniest of glass bottles with a few stars inside. The head was mounted inside a red bottle cap. I  gave her a necklace of rhinestones. Her hat is my favorite part. It is a tiny tea pot charm tied with a bow. This, to me gives it that fantastical feel you get from Alice in Wonderland type adventure.

The second project involved a small cardboard box. Here we painted the box and covered it with decorative card stock and ribbons or trims. Kate offered me this darling little feathered chick to mount on the top.
