Holiday Card with Holiday Marbles!

New Holiday Card ~tell me what you think. I have created 5 other (every day occasion) cards that have marbled cockatoo feathers and a quotation on the front, blank on the inside. 

The cards sell for $2.50 for one and a discounted price when you buy a set of four $8.50 (any four~ your choice) This last session of marbling, I thought I would do a Christmas feather. I love them~they are, well
incredibly cheerful and full of sassss! The holiday card has a generic "Season's Greetings" so it can be used by all.

Marbling Handmade Paper~Girls Gotta Have Fun!

Anyone who has bought feathers from me knows I love to wrap them with my handmade paper. I was digging thru my papers and I found some rejects from 15 years ago. Rejects? I was experimenting with gelatin sizing because I wanted to be able to write with ink on my papers. What happened was that I didn't dilute the gelatin enough and the back side of the papers ended up looking like wax paper with a crinkling sound (love the sound of the paper!)

Needed to take a couple days break from the feathers, so I decided to marble the paper so I can use it as wrapping paper.


It turned out to be alot of fun~I ended up with beautiful marbled paper and it STILL crinkles. And I have a new supply of paper to wrap the marbled feathers in!
