Beautiful Fridge Magnets Collaborative work of love between two etsians

These gorgeous magnets is a collaborative work between me http://petitbijouartshop.etsy.com and Shelly W. a.k.a. Freedom to Express http://www.etsy.com/shop/FreedomToExpress

Your little fridge notes would look awesome with these magnets, and the added benefit of supporting etsian artists :-)

Magnets are approx. 2.5" x 2.5" and printed on Fine Art Canson Infinity paper, and applied onto a magnet sheet, which I then protect with a coat of Dorland wax.

A creative touch with photoshop elements by myself adding a little pizzazz make these magnets very unique.

Mixed Media Book in the Making

Covers for my dos-a-dos book..Three covers, middle one being the back to front and back cover
I made a mixture of spackle and gesso and applied a layer to front and back of each cover.
Let it dry overnight.
The book is about creativity and freedom..The bird theme is used on each cover, with it taking
flight in the hand
My poetry is written on inside of cover..still have to finish posting on inside of last cover
I'll be using a coptic stitch to put book together.
