Still playing with my 'stuff', and this time it's bottles.
These little things can become very addictive--kind of like ATC's. It doesn't take much because they're so small, and when you have so much 'fodder' like I do, the possibilities are endless. And they're all inside of this fun shadowbox--
And then I added a little variation with this next one--I threw a salt (or maybe pepper?) shaker into the mix.
I knew when I saw that lone salt shaker last year at a garage sale that I could use it for something. It's now the body of my Frida-like doll. The bottle is attached to it underneath--I covered it with text pages. And love those little watch part vials too. And I put her in another garage sale find--a wooden cheese box--
How fun!
And this next one is my favorite--
No bottles in this one--this time I got out my stash of children's blocks---and believe me--I have a lot! I can never pass these things up when I see them.
And look at these fun birds--
I knew that I wanted to put birds in here, but I wanted a little something different. So I took a regular craft store bird and covered it bits and pieces of dictionary pages--
....just the look that I was looking for. You can use any kind of thin paper like tissue or telephone book pages also--it's so easy.
So these past 3 pieces were made from what I like to call my scavenger hunt. I would get an idea in my head, and then the biggest challenge was to try and remember where I had everything. It was actually kind of fun, because I've found other things that have given me other ideas for other pieces--like putting a jigsaw puzzle together!

Nice Diane. Love the newspaper and phonebook idea. You really have a knack for doing boxes. I love them all. I'm trying to learn this craft but it's not an easy one for me. You are just too crafty.:) Have a wonderful day.

I'm always amazed with what you come up with. :) Love that family canvas. Birdies are totally adorable! :)
Very inspiring! Love your work!
Wow, amazing creations!!
Oh . . . that inspires me! I have a broken bird that I want to play with after seeing this (oh, that sounds bad, but you're following I'm sure) LOVE the family piece too - the blocks are the best! xoxo
I think we need a picture of the room that spawned these beauties. I would love to see how you store/organize all those little bits and pieces. I do okay with keeping mine organized but I'm always looking for new ideas. Store by color...? by size?... by original purpose?... It is always a work in progress.
You always have this energy of fun in all your pieces! What an amazing stash you must have! I bet I could spend days there in awe and wonder going through your finds!!!
Yes I want to come and play also the same day Sharon comes, I will bring stuff for more of these beautiful creations. I think I can stayover night also. LOL
Absolutely fabulous, Diane!!! And I just adore what you did with the wee birds. :) I've been trying so hard to find them - haven't seen them lately. I would love to create a few, too. :) Hope you have a great weekend!
Ohhh, I love that family piece!! So pretty and I love how you used the blocks. :) Isn't it funny to find all the different things you can cover with paper too!?
WOW! I am in love with your salt shaker angel.
SIMPLY GORGEOUS!
Oh WOW, Diane. I am truly impressed. I had heard bottles were the big thing again, but these are delightful. I love the frozen Charlotte the best, but I also like the children's blocks. Not sure where you find them, because I look for them EVERYWHERE I go, and never find any. Nicely done using yo8ur imagination and some awesome bits and pieces.
Your creativity never ceases to amaze and delight. Wonderful - all of it!!
today I truly understand the "where are they" predicament.... i am doing my taxes!
so wonderful to see your treasures turned into more treasures.
You do this soooo well! That salt shaker girl alone is over the top FANTASTIC!
Wow! These are amazing Diane! There's so much texture and so much to devour! Have a great weekend:)

What fun!!! I love your Frida doll and the birds...they are so wonderful! Beautiful work!
These are all very unusual Diane. Very different from some of your other work. I love the idea that you continue to explore in many types of mediums and always seem to come up with winners. The bottles are fabulous as is the block feature.
I love them all - but my favourite is the one with the bottles! And what a great idea for making birdies too ...
