One World - One Heart Winners!

DaTAda-daTAda-DA!
(Well, that's how it sounds in my head anyway.)

Now that it is officially Valentine's day everywhere, I will draw my winners. I am going to use this random number generator because nobody is home to help and the cat is asleep. The first number picked will win the first vessel (brown and pink) and the second number will win the second vessel (pink and green).

First out of the hat... Pattio.
Second out of the hat... She.

Congratulations! I'm sad it's over and sad that more people couldn't have won. Do check out the enormous list of participants over at One World - One Heart. Even after the drawing, these blogs have a lot to offer. I met some amazing bloggers over the past week.

More felt to give away!

Vessel_1 Vessel_3
Well, your chances have just doubled. With 60 comments, I have made another vessel as pledged. This one is in spring-inspired colours, pale pink, with fuschia and jade. I think the first name out of the pot gets the first felted pot and the second name gets the second vessel, but I might give the first name the choice, I'm not sure yet. If you want to play, comment here.

Updated with new photos, I felted it some more and I like it better now.

Chinese New Year Goodies

Collage goodies! & some other stuff... The good luck mandarin orange was from Tiger Beer's stall and I bought the chocolate rats (now there's something I never thought I'd say in my life!) for my Mum and I since we were both born in the Year of the Rat. I picked up the free newspapers because I have a lot of Chinese art planned, and I love the idea of having genuine Chinese text for collage backgrounds, etc. I always worry about 'oriental' text stamps etc. - what language is it in, for a start, and what does it say?  I picked up some Chinese New Year cards, greetings paper and some good luck money envelopes for collage and art journalling. I also bought this page a day calendar with really lovely almost-tissue paper pages, and some stunning papercuts, red rural scenes and multi-colour butterflies.
