Free, Amazing

Orna Willis has added the second free "family" design to her website.  I love the mix of red and purple in her version.

In the amazing category, Carole emailed me the link to this set of painted canvases intended to be made into a poof.  Of Geishas, of course!  Does Carole know me or what?!

Also amazing is the little owl with the floral eyes, one of the new designs featured on the Squiggee website.  I think the last 2-3 pages of the catalogue have new designs also, at least I don't recognize all of these.

The last amazing thing I have to show you is a box made by Marlene's, who specializes in magical finishing.

Many thanks to Carole, Gail and to Orna, too.  And of course to the amazingly talented finishers at Marlene's.
