It's so much fun to see someone else's take on creativity and especially the refashioning of something. I'm not hot on that put-a-little-ric-rac-on-something-and-call-it-a-redo!!!!
The girls at Fabrique in Dallas are some pretty amazing and gifted gals. One of them will even custom paint your fabric for you....she did some yummy green (remember I'm the Queen of Green), for me with some great fishies on it.
An iridescent green no less with these beautiful fish - as yet, it's so special, I haven't figured out exactly what I'm going to do with it, but I know I'll love it!!
But this is really fun:

And lest you think you have to place all those stones exactly correctly and go through eons of time to get it done - oh, no - they have all sorts of short-cuts that make this not only fun, but quick - just my sort of thing!

I love the idea of this little jewel.
Here's the link to the post, but it's so full of great ideas, that it should be three or four posts.
Enjoy!
