I rubbed at a magazine page (a Vera Wang perfume advert) and the ink began to wipe off and smear - I was left with a lovely smudgy effect with just the face and the word 'Princess' left showing (which I altered using a white gel pen) .
I then added a lovely piece of lace given to me by Jean (see post below)....plus some machine stitching, gemstones, coloured AppliGlue blobs and so on......
In case you can't read my writing, here's the poem http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/b-princess
(A 'godet jumlo' is an elaborately decorated, knee length dress from Kohistan.)


Here's another poem (haiku?) that I rather like by the same author ....its lovely to read out loud!Three Winds
Dans l'orage vent
Mer et terre
Une danse merveilleuse
En la tempestad del mar enrolla
El mar y la tierra
Un baile maravilloso
In sea storm wind
Sea and earth
A wonderful dance.
Finally.....here's another magazine page that I attacked with the transfer solution. I think it was an advert for a caribbean island.Dans l'orage vent
Mer et terre
Une danse merveilleuse
En la tempestad del mar enrolla
El mar y la tierra
Un baile maravilloso
In sea storm wind
Sea and earth
A wonderful dance.
Ready for another poem I think............











































































They sell gorgeous products like perfumed oils, scrubs, soaps and body creams....which are just that bit different. The way the products are described is brilliant; I recommend you go and have a read. I even like the names.......Decadence, Byzantium, Silk and Cyanide, Scintillating, Paradise Misplaced. I treated myself to a few items (well, it is my birthday soon!) The black envelopes contain small soap samples which you can buy for $1 (you also get two free) - the labels are rather lovely and may be seen on future ATCs etc!
