ACP Week 8: Red + G = Game Pieces

Love a red & blue colour combo!! sky blue, denim blue, royal blue - not fussed - they all seem to work with red.

G = Game Pieces

I bought a complete vintage set on Ebay a few years ago.. it seems a shame for it to just sit unused on the desk so I used 2 of the boards as the covers of a simple journal/notebook - it took a lot for me to use these because they're are sooooo lovely..

The book has a loto board front & back, heavyweight cartridge paper pages (lovely for sketching, writing, painting and inking onto) and nice simple binding of book rings (another favourite). I like to use these as it makes adding & removing pages really simple (and you can tie pretting ribbons and embellishments onto them).

I'll be back tomorrow with another 'game piece' project (or maybe 2) and then I'm all caught up with the ACP and back on track. 

When I post on Tuesday/Wednesday it'll be the start of a new month/ new colour! ta da - and I'm being brave and using a colour that is not in my comfort zone - which will be a learning curve!

Hope you're all well, and are enjoying the sun (assuming you have sun!)

Take care

Look what I found in the jewellery shop!

I bought this from a shop in town - I like to go in every-so-often to get some 'junk' jewellery to take apart and re-use on something else - normally arty.. and this is what I came out with today:

look at all those lovely medallion shapes - I'm thinking they'll look great to be made to look worn and verdigris'd.  The centre panel is about 4-5 inches long.  I did try it on - just to make sure I would never want to wear it - too much of a statement piece for me I'm afraid!!

and check out all the metal and pearl strands that have been braided on this choker - and I'm loving the big diamante pearl 'brooch' pieces.... ooooh so many applications...  I tried this one on too (lol) again too much of a statement piece (!)
