Beach Time

I can't wait for the real beach time to be here!!
I just hate the cold weather, must be the Maltese in me!!Lol!!

This project I did last year and it sold within minutes of being
on my stall. So I thought I would make one more, 
similar but not exactly the same.

They are little boxes that you can make from Tando kits.
I used 2 kits and when I had decorated them all,
I stuck them together.
I covered the joins with driftwood.


This is just a quick beach scene I painted onto watercolour
card. I stuck it on the back of the box and then
made the beach. 


This next one is an old Little Claire beach hut stamp.
I made the To Beach sign with Balsa wood and
I painted the sky again on card.


This next one was great fun!
Two of the boxes have like a window in the back piece.

I had this die that is a ship in a bottle. It turned out to be 
very near the size of the window.
So I cut it out of card and then stuck it on acetate. 
The boat is a separate die.


The clock does work! The surf board I cut from 
Balsa wood and coloured it with Copics.
Made the lifebelt from clay and also the little Seahorse.


I won't tell you how long it took to make!!

Thanks for taking the time, to not only visit my 
blog but leaving me your lovely messages too.

Big hugs,
Carol

Hi Carol

I can imagine it took days to make your fabulous creation .. .. so much lovely detail within each section. I bet this will sell just as quickly as the first one did!!!

Yes, I quite like the sound of a bit of beach weather!

Very nippy here today with a good frost and a strange fog too. Hopefully that doesn't stay around too long! No snow though.

Hope your weather improves for the weekend. Have fun!

Love Jules xx

That is absolutely amazing Carol! I hadn’t realised you had some Maltese in you. I lived there for three years between 1958 and 61 when my Dad was in the army.
