I apologize for the poor quality of the photo - the paper crafting is so lovely. I am placing an order at Ranger and have 2 days left of the show. There's new colors of distressed ink pads, new sizzix dies - i could add on to my order and bring in any items to the UK that i can get before i come in April if you let me know!! Maureen - what was the wendy stamp Wendy Vecchi? i'm still looking. remind me - what stamps you already have (i got your atc card covers)

Mary




When i was in Russia there were Mary Icons everywhere. Then when my cousins took us to a wonderful village called Lincoln we went into the cathedral and i saw the icon again. I have attached the photo of the icon from the cathedral that has inspired me to create this pin. The face is polymer clay that is dusted with perfect pearls. I've machine felted the body and embellished with sequins and beads. I'm in love.

I'm working with polymer clay to come up with some faces for the women pins and then i started to make just pendants! I'm using the pearls pigments to color them, they look like porcelin afterwards!
