Recycling project
I was preparing for a craft lesson with children this weekend and thought of making a mosaic frame with them. After digging deep into Pinterest, I got an idea that mosaic does not have to be made out of squares only, but anything that goes, as long as it has nice colour. So here is the result - old pieces of card plus ex-display wallpaper book from local fabrics store and bits and bobs from a Poundland shop.

Alexandra
She is my long lasting friend from Moscow. She paints icons and looks like one. I thought Byzantium Empress would be just right for her.

Birthday Anna
I am definitely into making these cards. This one is for my friend Anna, whose favourite period is Art Nouveau... I used wrapping tissue paper and velvety off-cuts.
