ALTERED METAL ELEMENTS .. such fun !

this month over at 
"SCRAP FOR HELP"
our recycled  item is METAL ... any old buttons, washers etc. anything METAL .
here is my take on this month

"MOMENT IN TIME "
 This page was inspired by the teachings of the beautiful

I met her in Darwin recently where she was teaching at a retreat organised by 
the very special RAE COOPER .
it was just the BEST !!!
thanks Rae and Finn xoxo
 I used old buttons and altered them with texture paste and ink
the yummy chipboard is available from SCRAPMATRIX
to see all the yummies Rae has for sale ..
above are two of the metal elements mixed in with chipboard
and below is another metal filligree available from Scrap Matrix .
it was silver before I altered it.

the chipboard title is available from 

this is a fun way to use up old metal items 
I hope I have inspired you to have a play 
make sure you visit Rae at SCRAPMATRIX 
she has lots of metal elements in her online shop .
love and hugz

    Yes, agree with Linda. The colours are sensational & I really, really like how you've used lace in with the 'grungy' look...dunno how you manage it, but it works amazingly well:):):)

    Hello my darlin. Firstly please do not keel over in shock!!! I know it has been a very long time since I have left a comment and I am so sorry for that. Never think that it is not that I never see your gorgeous work but I just have not done a lot of visiting at all in such a long time (there are plenty of explanations on my blog!). I am trying to make up for it now with all of my friends (as apologies and thank you's for support I have a special give away on my blog which I have until 25th June. Hope that you will be interested and leave a comment on the post to be included.
    Heather your work just gets better and better (if that's possible!). I adore your vintage style and you always do something different with it. I am so proud of you that you are on all of these wonderful DT's too!!! you rock!!. I promise that I will be back to visit you more often and am hoping that you can forgive your old friend for her absence. Oh and I need to know how Ollie cat is??? do hope that he is well. Big hugs and loads of love Clare xxx

    *close your mouth Eila* gawping and drooling Heather! I really really admire your artistic versatility and the way you can create anything and make it look a million dollars. This is inspired by Finn but it's not a copy and paste version, it's got all the gorgeous trimmings of Heather and is a unique and amazing piece of art. You rock! xoxox
