My Birdsong 5 Swap Creations

Birdsong 5 was amazing!

  A weekend retreat filled with love, laughter, friendship & Art - 

 presented by the fabulous Karla Nathan! 

 

I so enjoy participating in the Birdsong swap exchanges.

This year there were four swaps: 

Decorated chipboard house,

Fabric Nature book,

Nature Snippet,

Nature mini-canvas & mini matchbox set. 

Here are my creations for the swaps

I placed a battery-operated tea light in my house to serve as a nightlight.  

 

My style often leans towards whimsy or shabby, but this house spoke French cottage to me.  Although I did tuck a sweet pewter fairy on the stone archway of the door.

 

 

 

My fabric Nature book

My Nature Snippet Roll... instead of a thread spool to wrap my snippet around, I chose a branch to reflect nature.

My mini canvas & mounted mini matchbox set

The mini matchbox was filled with little treasures.

 

I had taken the above photos of my creations prior to Birdsong 5.  Sadly all the photos I took at Birdsong 5 I mistakenly deleted.  I was downloading them when I was really too tired to be messing with them.  Unfortunately I paid the consequences of pushing my limits...breaks my heart I lost so many photo memories.

 

Coming soon...photos of the INCREDIBLE swaps I received.  

 

See you soon!
