Some of you may have seen some of my 'stuff' scattered through cyber space before and you will know I love things in boxes and shrine type things....... so here's an homage to the nursery rhyme Six little Mice.
Six little mice sat down to spin
Pussy passed by and she peeped in
"What are you doing my little men?"
"Weaving coats for gentlemen"
"Shall I come in and cut off your threads?"
"No no Mistress Pussycat you'd bite off our heads"
"Oh no I'll not I'll help you to spin"
"That maybe so but you don't come in!"
All the images are from
3djean and are coloured using
Tim Holtz Distress pads. Using a wet brush, or water brush pick up some ink from the pad and use as watercolour. Cut out your images.. a bit fiddly! and mount them on the cotton reels using a bit of wire stuck to the back of the image and pushed into the reel.
The shaped background is cut using the edge dies from Tim Holtz.........
A plain and simple tag, though he does look a little lost!
Watch this space for more stuff.
Effie!

and the black german scrap is just the thing to decorate the edges.. I sanded it and added some colour with a yellow promarker and for a little extra sparkle added some Stickles.The papers I used are all still available in the shop....
and you can't have a shrine without wings... these were bright orange so they got the Promarker treatment too.
For everything you need to make this little shrine then hop on over to here... if you make one let me know so I can come visit.
And a few extras from the 'store cupboard' I made this!....................
The cross is cut with a Sizzix die from shrink plastic and the shrine itself is made from scraps of chipboard. The scraps edging makes a fab border around the shrine and the Artchix crow fitted perfectly.
but one of the best bits for me is the Dew Drops edging.... this is something I'll definately use again!
Hope you like it!
