Buddha card and keyring

 Hello peeps, I hope you all had a good weekend?  Mine was busy, the first time in over a month I managed to get into town...not for long (it got a bit too crowded for my crutches) ...but I managed it!

I thought I would share my latest make, this is a card I made for my mum who has moved into a new house. The tag is coloured with some dyes left over from a fabric dying session back in the summer and the Buddha is made from air drying clay in a mold.  The flower and oriental papers are all out of my scrap box (which seems to be growing again!) and I stamped the background.






I coloured the Buddha with coloured gilding waxes and a thin covering of matt multi medium to seal it.


I also made a matching keyring with the Buddha this time made from friendly plastic and encased in resin which I drilled with a hand drill to make the hole.


A small, but very personal gift.
Right, its Sunday so that can only mean one thing....craft, sofa and maybe a veggie roast!!

Happy Crafting

ps - Same (Hettiecraft) suggested I join in the Snippets challenge which can be found at http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/ - so I did!!

  1. Great tag there Kyla. Why don't you take it to the Snippets Playground? We always welcome new members. We have a virtual swing and park and chickens and everything. It is just a bit of fun!

  2. Hi there Kyla! Welcome to the Playground with your lovely card.

    I'm so glad Sam chased you to the swings etc. - it's a happy place and really you can use any snippets to make anything. There are few 'rools', mostly just to have fun.

    I remember you beavering away at the WOYWW crop last year next to me!

    Look forward to seeing you back again with us in the Playground. Can't promise your snippets will reduce at all mind you - most folk think they breed in the night!!

    Hugs, Di xx
