Jean (jerima) sent me the most lovely surprise the other day! I received a notecard, a WONDERFUL older book on Pastel Painting, two drawn ACEOs and one ACEO that was inspired by a Sculpey ACEO that I sent to her in May. She actually replicated my ACEO by crocheting one just like it! I almost fell over! Thank you so much Jean! Here are the photos... Jean I love it all. You're a special friend! Thank you again! :-x -- •:*¨¨*:•.~Kelly~.•:*¨¨*:•. http://www.kellyscolorstudio.com

Today, I received the most wonderful card from September of Altered Attic! Thank you so much for the amazing card. I have been swapping for a year and a half, I think, and this is only the second collage I have ever received, but it is the first that is 3 dimensional! I am floored and honored that you would give this little gem to me! Thank you so much September! I am putting it with a little dress form and a necklace of my Grandmother...Kind of makes a little vintage collection! WOW!! I'm speechless. Also, notice the little envelope with the token of affection! It also contains some black pearl carbon pigment! I've never had carbon pigment before, but I imagine I could do some cool aging with it?? Rebecca -- NEVER EVER GIVE UP!

Kelly, you are the best. Thanks for posting and the great comments, I loved doing them for you. We also have your flowers on a little easel in the living room. I wanted to reproduce it somehow for you and it seemed to work. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the "stuff" I sent. Cheers! Jean

Very cool swaps items, that crocheted piece is awesome, how do you do such great crochet so small? My eyes and fingers would be having a fit.

I love this sharing......:-x Bonnie -- Bonnie Kiser

I got this wonderful aceo from Nancy (hoppyscotch)on Sat, I love it, thanks so much Nancy. Cheryl -- Reality was once someone's dream.

Lazyhaw, I use a very small crochet hook and embroidery floss. Each flower is made seperately and then assembled on a background. Finish it with Stiffy. You can make a variety of flowers this way. Such fun !!!

Marlene you would not believe this ACEO, the detail. It's positively gorgeous!!!! -- •:*¨¨*:•.~Kelly~.•:*¨¨*:•. http://www.kellyscolorstudio.com
