Philadelphia Decay

Just returned from Philadelphia and took some time to visit with some good friends from college days. I took an array of photo’s which were interesting to the eyes because of the architectural detail and design . I figured at some point these images could be transformed into something but I don’t know what yet. Just had the joy of taking the initiative of going up to the city and didn’t realize all sorts of time has passed since i last visited.  loved how overcast each day was and every few minutes it would have a streak of sun for a bit and then hide. I loved passing through the neighborhoods which have not changed. Passed by
by old apartment and noticed many new shopping centers that have gone in the place of what used to be graffiti covered walls and broken window store fronts. in a way it was sad to think back how much change has taken place. I’ve promised myself and the college friends whom still currently live in center city we will stay in touch and not let time get in the way. here are some images of some detail that i just love in these finds. The wooden tray is just perfect for several detail projects. The frames have small detail around the edge.

Valentines Projects <3 <3

It’s almost Valentine’s  Day !!  some great embellishments for those Valentines. I am currently working in the craft room on some pieces which could be a great wall piece. I love some of the 7 gypsies doorknob embellishments.  I have some felt wool embellishments which are heart shaped. a great selection of colorful fibers… entering the craft room !!!!!
