Topic 7: Niches Hi everyone, Wow, what an amazing week of #3UP that was to close the first semester of the year! The blog has been inspiring so many people so far in 2015, and we hop that as we move into another season, you continue to take time for yourself to enjoy the creative process. The more we make and play, the more we learn! Before we start the new topic, here is Gillian to announce the challenge winner for the final topic of the lat semester, Topic 6: Grunge Paste Hi everyone, Gillian here. Not just 2 but 3 weeks of amazing projects, hope you loved our 3 up week and round up. Once again you rose the to challenge, in this case texture paste.. and oh wow we had texture upon texture upon texture. Be still my beating heart. Thankyou for all your entries, so inspiring.. Sooooo, the winning name from Topic 6: Grunge Paste..goes to... Ruth from A Love To Create To claim your £50 voucher, please email me, Darcy with your details to [email protected] and I'll explain how you claim your prize. Thanks Gillian for drawing the prize winner, and well done to our latest winner Ruth. so....it's Leandra back for the rest of this post to chat some more about possible 'Niche' ideas with you. Topic 7 of 2015 is niches. Sorry, no video this week, life just got too crazy getting ready for Ally Pally AND Version Scrap. But I do have some scrummy pictures instead! When I first started moving on from cards and embossing into creating dimensional art, Altered Books was the thing to get stuck into. At that time, the fist thing I wanted to do was make a niche in an old book, but since then, I have realised there are so many other types of niches that are also possible. I wonder what you might do! I have been keeping a Niche Board on Pinterest, so do take a look there, I have only got a smattering of the samples from there featured here, but Pinterest have so many great ideas to whet your appetite. Jewellery is a great place to start if you want to do mini niches, ...bezels offer lots of fun...with ice resin of course! Tins offer all kinds of options... ...book in a box perhaps?? ...altoid tins often can be found re-purposed, I like this orientation But you can see niches in all kinds of objects ...you can even buy them ready to decorate or create them yourself from all sorts of things! or keep it really simple ...like this matchbox ...or perhaps you feel a spring decorating mission coming on... fancy arranging some niche shelves?? ...a box niche forms the body here and here looks a similar box with a different vibe And finally a trio of niches. All the niches pictured in this post are featured on my Pinterest page, so if you want to see where they came from, go there and follow the links. So, go on, dig out something with a bit of depth to it, and see what you can do to it! Have a great week. ~Leandra We would love you to join in with challenge #7: Niches. Feel free to join in and share your destructive-creative ideas over the next 2 weeks and link up your creativity to this page. All links go in the draw to win a voucher to spend on products of your choice from the PaperArtsy online store.

The challenge is a chance for you to show how you have been inspired by a particular technique of the fortnight. Your entry should contain: - a mention of which post inspired you and why, and - a link in your blog post to that original post on the PA blog. The whole concept of this challenge is 'play along with us'. You are encouraged to put your own twist on ideas you see on our blog, don't feel obliged to copy an idea exactly, but if you prefer to replicate, of course that is fine too. We love to see how you are inspired! 2. The link you put on our linky page must lead directly to the specific post on your blog where you have explored the technique/ idea mentioned in point 1 above. Don't link to the home page of your blog, or we will be unable to find the post to leave you comments. 3. Spam links will be deleted. 4.

2018 Topic 21: Matchbox Art Hi everyone, Leandra here As Christmas nears (dare I say it, I have done nothing to prepare yet!) here is a lovely topic that can be used in a practical sense, perhaps table place settings, with a gift, maybe an advent calendar, or maybe for tree decorations, whatever you decide, the topic is very flexible - always handy when time is tight! This is our final Challenge of the year, there will be one more topic to round off the year, but no challenge with that one. Before we start, let's see who won the Topic 20: Foiling Challenge... The winner is: Mac Mable from The Sweetest of Peas I urge you to go and take a look, Mac actually made several samples over the course of the challenge, and a few went into the linked post above, but there were plenty of other beautiful entries this fortnight too! Thanks for joining us, it's nice to see your take on the challenge! Email Leandra to claim your prize. [email protected] So, back to our topic of the next 2 weeks...boy did I find it hard to select ideas, there are so many ways to go with this topic! Just like people have collected 'things' forever: stamps, coins, cards, so it is with matchboxes. Initially created as a practical tool to light a fire or perhaps a cigarette, the outer covers soon became a suitable place for images, advertising or seasonal themes, and hence matchbox collections were born. However, on this occasion, we are more interested on using the box itself as a mini structure. We do like to go small when making art, so this can be great fun, and many see, quite manageable, to tackle a smaller project, than a massive one. Here's a timely idea, an advent calendar blogged by Ally, that is super effective due to the restricted colour palette of kraft, red and white. Check out the link below the picture for more details on its creation. My Creative Space In fact, if that floats your boat, here is a link to a whole bunch of home-made Advent calendars. Within I discovered another matchbox style one hanging from a branch, and the matchboxes were covered with plywood. Again, the colour scheme brings cohesion and simplicity. The Merry Thought In 2013, Manoswelt (Mano's World) embarked on an annual project to create 365 boxes. Many of them are teeny tiny, and the details are astonishing! Check out her blog. December 2013, Mano's World Here is a close up of the one lower right from the earlier picture. A bunch of boxes within a box. It is hard to comprehend the scale of her project, but I adore the idea of a few boxes wrapped up this way, whether a piece of art in itself, or actual gifts, it's cool!! Spun By Me Still on the Christmas theme, Matchboxes as decorations is also going to add a personal touch to your tree. I'm sure you have plenty of images that would work to decorate boxes in this manner! Cute that both the cover and inside are being used to great effect! Kate Crane Here's a fun sample by Kate Crane with her Stampotique stamps. Similar in concept to the Darcy sample at the top of the page, it is fun to have legs that can 'grow' as you slowly open up a matchbox! Luciferdoosje There is a fantastic tutorial here from Kay Williamson who has created the most stunning tiny matchbox library, the detail of each book is astonishing! Kay's Keepsakes This post from Graphic 45 shows how a peek through to the interior can be fun too... Graphic 45 blog Here is a wearable matchbox by Gaby Bee, follow the link to see the reverse side, equally beautiful and therefore 2 wearable options in one composition! Gaby Bee, Colorful Adventure Annette Green I really like this hanging idea by Annette Green, created for G45. So many little details, and if you follow the photo link there is also a video for you of how she made this. Laura Carson Laura Carson designed this chest from Matchboxes for Alpha Stamps. I'm sure you can spot some Tim Holtz hardware in the mix too. As you can see, Laura also made a detailed video series of 2 parts, and a downloadable PDF, so there is plenty of info here if a larger project like this tickles your fancy! My Craft Room So this blew my mind, and clearly it took the lady, Norma, who made it a long time to figure out too! See here for more. She did this project for a Magnolia blog hop, and it is fabulous! She also generously shares the template too. Think of the drawers as pie shaped sections, and you will get there! Isn't it fabulous!! There are plenty more construction projects on my Pinterest page for this topic too. Don't forget to follow Darcy and Leandra's Pinterest boards if this topic pushes your buttons, you will see plenty more examples to whet your appetite there! I am really looking forward to seeing what you create over the next 2 weeks! ~ Leandra An InLinkz Link-up To join our challenge and win a £50 PaperArtsy voucher: Simply make something arty relevant to the topic, and link your creation from any social URL (eg.

No discounts/coupon codes will be applicable on this piece. Measurements - The doll is roughly 21 inches tall Pine Display Box Measurements - Bottom Platform - 11 ½ inches wide x 12 ¼ inches deep Display Box - 11 ⅜ wide (including locks/latch) 9 ⅞ inches deep Top trim - 12 ½ inches wide x 10 ⅜ inches deep 27 inches tall Weight - 17 lbs 6 oz (doll and display) If you are curious about behind the scenes photos, check out our instagram: @A_Curious_End This doll was in rough shape when she was found at a local thrift store. She had clearly been loved and had lived a very long life. The doll was crowned with a coarse bird's nest of hair barely hanging on, but the most beautiful antique patina. We knew immediately that she was coming home with us and we were going to find a way to keep her out of a landfill. Her closing eye mechanism was flawless and she had all her teeth, two left feet and tons of potential. Both Tessa and Kia like to tell stories through our art and decor, and we took this opportunity to build something that catered to our love of horror. The haunted doll motif is long standing and iconic. Tessa drafted and then hand-sewed the doll an original Italian-linen Victorian lingerie dress with hand-dyed insertion lace. There is a zipper enclosure in the back to remove the dress. Matching black bloomers were also made. She was fitted with a new red wig to bring her whole look together, and pay homage to her original hair. At this point she was really starting to look like an Agetha Thomasin to us, and so she was named. Wanting to elevate this doll to the next level we decided to design her a hand made wood display box. It has three viewing windows made out of second hand, thrifted glass. Due to our extensive love of folk art we decided to keep a handmade and imperfect look to the display box but color drenched it with a delicious red. It has intentional aging done to it, to give it that antique-feel. The steeple hinges on the door are pure brass, but have been aged to fit the aesthetic as well. There are three brass locks on the side as a precaution. They all have two latches each for extra security. The front of the door also has a pure brass plaque with black detailing, engraved with “Agetha Thomasin, Do Not Open.” In a matching style, there is an engraved plaque on the backside with the provenance of who the piece is by! Everything curated on the interior back panel was sourced and bought second hand or pulled from our own collections. Many of the pieces are vintage and some antique. We wanted the materials to be a collaborative effort across many denominations, all having worked together to bind Agetha to her box. There is also a handmade, and hand painted binding sigil on the top! The underside of the display box has also been fitted with a deep rich black velvet…in the shape of a pentagram! To protect you, but also your furniture. We have also included various protective items for you to add and decorate the interior however you like. They are: Victorian inspired Hair Locket with cloves, a human tooth*, hair, and a silver ring engraved with 1903. Bound in knotted twine is a vintage black and white photo of a group of women with Nuns. Jar of graveyard dirt (from Oakland Cemetery, the oldest in the state of MN) with a found bone. 3 Animal Teeth (ethically sourced) Silver antique skeleton key Vintage black and gold Rosary Silver Saint medallion Cross made out of a bullet casing Small gargoyle statue Protective Pendant Orb Charm Peridot Crystal Wand Assorted Stones (Raw and Polished) x 6 - amethyst, quartz, obsidian Protective Spell Bag with gold Pentacle You are of course encouraged to put in your own talismans, trinkets or totems inside. Better to be safe than sorry… A Curious End and its owners are not responsible in the event of Agetha’s escape. There are 3 brass locks for a reason! Be vigilant. Should you hear her walking around at night, it might be too late. Please also note that these items are upcycled/handmade using existing and found pieces that were not originally made by the artist and therefore sold in “AS IS” condition. However we do clean our items from modern dust and dirt, while still maintaining vintage and antique patinas to preserve authenticity. Each item has lived a previous life and might have some light wear and manufacturing imperfections. Please refer to photos for the most accurate representation of the items. The listed item is the one you will receive. If there are any problems or issues such as chips, cracks, or excessive wear they will be clearly described in the listing and shown in the photos.
