Happy Accidents

Digging in a box labeled Harley Tank ornaments, I found my daddy's old ash tray. Awhile back I wondered where it went to, I was feeling all sentimental about him and knew I had a few things of his, like this.

Why do they pack odd stuff up like that? I have found more odd things in other boxes and it's been over a year since we moved..lol.. but anyway I was glad this little piece of the past turned up. Now it's going to live on my studio table and catch all my 'lost' items..things I find and need to 'file' away in their proper cubbies.. I had a dream with my dad in it the other night, and he gave me a big hug in that dream, I woke up feeling so happy. A deep happiness, that you don't have often..it was nice..



Then this thing...what can I say about it???

This is not even what I had in mind when I started..but it took on a whole nother path.. What I had in mind was bigger and mounted on chip board to hang in the living room..but instead it wanted to be smaller..

These boogers turned out to be One and A Half inches by One inch....not even what I started to do..I used old hymn papers and backed them with Cosmo Cricket , so that touch of aqua shows and the back are pretty too..And the pearls, are a necklace thingy I bought at a sale, that has so far been used on 3 other projects, it was that long..

It now hangs in my bedroom over a full length mirror...oh well, another happy accident..

Merry Christmas!
