Nickname sign Mixed Media project

Hello my friends, today I am coming to you with a project, which I absolutely LOVE and wanted to make for a long time
It is a name sign, well nickname....
I wanted to make one for a long time, because Janet has been crackalackin those for forever and I wanted to make one so bad...
I guess each project has its time... Well this once time just came...
Nickname of my dear friend Diana (sparemarbles2012 on YT) is "Pink Sharpie"... LOL
I am not going to get into details.... Each nick name has its own history or story...
Well, I wanted this project to be in Victorian style and of course to be practical...
So this name plaque holds a pen, pencil or Sharpie

 So I uses wooden scrabble tile holder to lay out different tiles and pieces....
Fen and cameo is a set of buttons from JoAnns or Hobby Lobby; tiles all were gifted to me by Janet over the years of thrifting; plastic trim on top of letter P now sold out, but you can find those at NSK; tiny plastic bow is NSK product and there are a loads of varieties of those on the website; ceramic rose; royal heart earring...... 

 for an "i" I used cork wrapped with Venice lace and topped with leather flower and pink seam binding and crystal bobble - all are product of NSK

 the golden rose is a button, but you definitely can use flat back cabochon roses from NSK; for "N" I used chipboard piece backed up on bling wring/buckle (recycled product) and last but not list is tile "k" from my stash topped with pink metal flower

 for a holder of pink sharpie I used wooden cloth clips

 Glue choices: E6000, Glossy Accents, Hot glue
For paints: Ranger Vintaj Patina set for all metal (quartz, marine, amethyst) - Hobby Lobby jewelry section (look at Vintaj section)

I absolutely LOVE how this project came out, so shabby and sweet!
Happy New Year everyone!
Have fun and be safe!
Xo-XO-Xo, Natasha

Steampunk/Shabby Birdcage & YT sign

I am following one YT channel, host of this channel is Lydia - supper tallented lady. Love watching her videos. In October she celebrated her 50th Birthday. It is a big date - not as a number as as a mile stone... I wanted to make something very special for her. So there it is...
First, I created a channel sign/picture frame for her...

That is the front...I used a Spellbinders sleeve sheet for the base, inserted a paper inside (in this case I used New York, because she is from there), handsewn purple trim with bling on top and for the letters I used stickes and in the right lower courner I made canvas flower stamped a sentiment and used Recollection blig for brighter effect..,
On the back... Because she likes to recycle and collage I created mini collage..

Lots of stuff going on here.. I layered tags, post marks, paper wings inside sleeve on that gorgeous sparklying paper, after that I started stamping on top of the plastic to add a dimention to a picture...

The main gift is Steampunk/Shabby Birdcage... Have no idea how I came around to created something like that.... But hey, I did it!

Here it is closer...

This Birdcage is made with two separate part: birdcage itself  and stand...
Here is birdcage inside and in details... It is diecutted with TH birdcage die and I decided to put New York printed diecut inside of the birdcage with some goodies inside... Here it is..

Here is some clousups on the charms...

 

Ok, now it is time for.. The stand itself.. It was made with ribbon spool...

I hope you like this project... Here you can even see it for yourself... I posted two part video on my YT channel (come and join me there).
Thank you for stopping by and taking your time to read, watch and comment... Hugs, Natasha
