today I would like to share a small creation I did one late evening when I couldn't sleep. It is an old idea redone again ~ a baby shoe pincushion. It is nice to fall back on old ideas which don't cause you a headache when trying to figure out how to make something and instead you can just sit, create and relax. At times I have a really bad habit of trying too hard to make something look a certain way and I over do it but this time ... less is more!
I painted the shoe with the new Martha Stewart paints, aged it and that was it really apart from a tiny ribbon flower and a little silver charm; that's all I thought this little creation needed since the shoe itself had a lot of detail and charm already. I used some of my rose velvet for the pincushion because the color was ever so delicate and perfect ~ nothing too much! What do you think?
I hope you have enjoyed my little creation today.
And don't forget about my giveaway! You only have until midnight on February 12th to sign up as I will be drawing the winner on the 13th! Good luck to everyone!
I hope you are well and life is treating you kind.
Have a peaceful and creative day,
Karen B.

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, I like it.
ReplyDeleteOh you are so right Karen - in this case less is more!
ReplyDeleteWith such a beautiful tiny shoe, you have perfected it - just enough embellishment - sometimes we do need restraint!
I hope you are enjoying a wonderful eek!
much love

Lovely! Don't you wish you knew the story of the baby who wore those shoes? I hope that baby has had a wonderful life.
