Christmas...................but not cards

............believe it or not I have only just finished these - I say finished, I'm sure I may still have a bit of a 'faff' with them, lol.....................

Now bear with me because when you see the first batch of piccys you may think I have lost the plot..........




 
the first stage..........................
 
 
bear with, bear with................
 




painted black - with a little bit of bronze paint to highlight.........................









 
inked and waxed to within an inch of their lifes!!....
 


 
and this is what they came from - Woodware Chippies - die cut chipboard shapes (sorry I should have rotated the photo before I uploaded it, but you get the idea)
 
It is a brilliant way of using up bits of embossed card and little embellishments that you may have laying around and it is very therapeutic..................
 
Hopefully these will be hanging on a twig tree next Christmas..............
 
Thanks for stopping by and leaving encouraging comments it is very much appreciated.

    Wow! Gail these are amazing. Absolutely brilliant, I love what you have done with then.
    Some of the shapes could be used as jewellery.
    I'm thinking "roses" a jump ring then on a chain ..... or a brooch pin on the back ooooo!! You have my mind racing.
