Gypsy Cat...made from old jumpers and a scarf



This old tabbie was so much fun to make. I rifled through the men's clothes section at my local vinnies shop to find some cheap fabrics. I cut up some ugly old pants for his body and a brown jumper for his head. His legs were made from a scarf and you may notice that I used the fringe from the scarf for his hair. Stitch on a few buttons to add an engaging charm.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears altered art Tea cup...


My first altered art creation...



I used this very sweet little vintage lemon tea cup from my teacup collection.


 
Sunflower - J & G Meakin


I found the pictures from this vintage Nursery Tales book


Papa Bear


Mama Bear


Baby Bear


...and Goldilocks



 
I used a decoupage paste to adhere the pictures


 

 
Then a coat of sealer

 

....and finally a touch of gloss varnish


 
So sweet yet so easy to do...
