ALTERED POCKET WATCH




Shingles or no shingles I finally managed to finish this Pocket Watch which is for a swap on the forum I belong too. This is going to Moira (hope you like it)!
Lots of Utee (Copper, Clear & Green), lots of Vintage German Glass Glitter .... OMG, I'm in love with this stuff lol, various watch parts & charms, various blobs of Ice Stickles from Ranger, a kiltpin and a smidging of TH Tissue Tape, which I'm also loving ..... yes I know I need to get out more lol.
This weeks theme over at Mixed Media Monday is "a few of my favourite things", my fav new things at the moment are Utee & German Glass Glitter.
