I had so much fun with this project! I decorated this cardboard cactus I once bought in a craftshop with decoupage paper. For the pot and the soil I used coloured pencils. And then the real fun begins : glueing pieces of green sea glass to the cactus! I used sea glass that is not top quality, with sharp edges etc. (kind of fitting). They are all the result of a seaglass hunt in Lyme Regis, on the south coast of England. Collecting it is such a fun, relaxing thing to do, but be careful, it is also addictive!
Like many other people, we used the lockdown period to clean out our attic. I came across this doll that a dear, old relative gave to me as a present in the seventies. I was a little girl back than and not very fond of the doll, but I’ve held on to it because of the person who gave it to me. I still think it is rather ugly and even a bit scary... But I’m also still not able to get rid of her, so I decided to give her a make-over, using fabric scraps from old clothes and a beaded necklace. Now she looks nice and happy and keeps me company in my workspace.
Projects like this I find the nicest and most rewarding. You get to be creative, look for creative solutions, use your stash to make something you are attached to beautiful again.
(And I hate throwing stuff in the bin 😊)
