Its been a long Time

Well it has certainly been a long time since I added anything to my blog, this has been due to having a spinal problem in January, which put me flat on my back in bed for a few weeks, I was only back on my feet for a week when I became ill with Epstein-Barr virus known in the UK as glandular fever, anyway I am starting to recover from this now, I hope, I can't wait to get back into the swing of things, I miss doing my art work,

The decorated hands below were made for a swap on the Sum of all crafts group, the swap was for 6 but Ali the hostess kindly let me swap the four that were made prior to my health problems, thanks Ali

Decorated hands

I recently joined in with a decorated hand swap that Alison Brandist is hosting, here are 3 of the hands that I have made, as you can see I managed to cut off the tip of my middle finger in the photo's, I keep promising myself that I will practice using the camera but there never seems enough time, I would rather be making my ART !!!!!!

I used a combination of papers, a napkin, images, embossing, stamping, inks, gold leaf pen, feathers, braids etc to decorate my hands, I even made the tiny laminated playing cards that hang from the wrist of the lucky hand, I hope that the girls in the swap will like these.
