Last Items for Give Away

Over the years, I learned to paint on porcelain in the European style from a wonderful Swiss lady.  I studied with her exclusively for five years.  It was a fabulous experience I wouldn't trade for the world. I collected many folders with classic European designs, each sheet in the folder contains four to five ideas/pictures.  I have many folders of the same designs and I know I will never be able to use them all.  The designs are so gorgeous, I hate to keep them in my file cabinets and not share with others.

When traveling, I usually lose at least one needle.  I've tried to come up with something to keep them in, nothing seems to work well.  Until now.  I've cut the designs into various sizes and folded them after lining the inside with scrap book paper and felt.

The needle keep you see, below, shows the front, back and inside of one I made.  In the last photo, there are four pins made of Swarovski crystals and sterling silver Swarovski charms.

Here are a few of the other needle keeps I put together.  They might look kind of 'lumpy' because I already scored the creases before taking the pictures.

The winner of the give away may choose two of the needle keeps I made (I'll post others with different designs as I make them).  The winner will also receive the four Swarovski pins.

Good luck!!
