A Matchbox, a WIP and some little quackers.

Hi everybody!

I am happy to say that the sun came out for a few hours yesterday. We still had a lot of rain, but nothing to compare with the days before, and in the evening we had pink clouds in the sky and could even see the moon.

Today I am showing a (large) altered matchbox which I made as one of my DT pieces for Gecko Galz.  This is the piece I swapped with Marji for the pay it forward project. I used the image 664-1 from the Vintage for me image sheet. I printed the image onto canvas. I painted a large matchbox  inside and out with blue metallic paint. I used a diamond stencil to add the texture, and embossed some of the diamonds and the edge of the image with Frantage old gold EP. The back of the box was made similarly but without the image. The tray inside has been lined with a rose, which I covered with crackle varnish. The fastener is from TH.
(Material list: matchbox, image, paint, stencil, embossing paste, EP, rose rub-on, crackle varnish.)

This is a new piece I started this week, it still needs a lot of work, I hope it will be finished next week.

I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin.

The little goslings are now really big, but still look very fluffy and downy. They still run around in their family group, and seem to do everything together.

And the wild geese have new goslings. I couldn't get a better picture, the littluns  wouldn't keep still, and Mum and Dad were a trifle aggressive....

And it was nice to see a pretty sky again in the evening:

Thanks to all who sent get well messages, they are much appreciated, and I am slowly feeling better, and hopeful that I will soon be back to normal.

Have a great day you all, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by.
