Some altered bottles I have been doing over the last couple of weeks.
These comprise of 3 miniature whiskey bottles & 2 perfume bottles.
I loved doing the perfume bottles as you can still smell the perfume, although they are empty!!!

some new makes I've managed for this weekend. It is the big Christmas event
at the Weald & Downland museum. This is huge & having done it for the last 8
years or so, it is an event I look forward to every year. It will also be the first time
I will be taking my new crafts, along with my beloved bears. The weather forecast
for the weekend isn't too great, which will be a shame as alot of the stands are outside!!
I, however, will be in one of the nice & warm museum buildings.
A pair of cuffs, reinvented from a top that I have grown out of!!!
The lace was already sewn to the arms

Green felt cuff, embellished with an old brooch, ribbons & lace
Two denim wired bracelets with sewn beads to finish
