Of course I was inspired to do it by Pam's Silver Bella post! http://pamgarrison.typepad.com/pamgarrison/ I've told you already here http://carolsgarden.blogspot.com/2006/08/studio-friday.html how much I'm inspired by her beautiful art work. Well, I can't sew so I've did a collage on card board, unfortunately it is a stocking you can't fill, it's just a decoration. Seeing that I've had already gathered so many glittery papers and ribbons etc. over the last few weeks, I just couldn't wait any longer to create something with it and this is the result:
I hope it doesn't look too much like a cast lol!
I've also started to make my first paper theatre inspired by Ullas fabulous paper theatres, but that is still in progress.

You have made beautiful Christmas stockings collage!They're lovely.
I love your Christmas stockings and its never too early for preparing for Christmas..Thank you for your inspiration.
Carol, that's just beautiful! I love the old music that you used. What a lovely touch. Can't wait to see your theatre when it's finished, too!
It's so beautiful, festive, and fun! Thanks for sharing it. Can't wait to see the paper theatre too, Ulla's are amazing as well.
I love the use of turquoise blue at Christmas- this would look lovely in my home!!!
This is wonderful Carol! And I like that you chose non-traditional christmas colors... Can't wait to see the theatre!!!
It does not look like a cast! It is very beautiful, and such a great idea to do if you don't sew (which I seldom do)
I just wonder where you get that Christmas spirit...I need cold, dark and snow..haa.
I also like the different colour of you collage.
Carol,
I really like your stockings. I found you through Ulla. One of my friends is cooking up a Christmas card making party this year. This is great inspriation!! I'm going to send her your way.
Hi Carol, thanks for your comments on my blog - this is lovely and I had a look at the roses - gorgeous - my passion too! But the most amazing thing is I saw the post from a few days ago of the black and white cat in your garden - but that is MY cat!!! I have one identical, they must be twins! Photos will soon be posted! Clare xx
This is so beautiful! I can't believe you are thinking about christmas already! Although, it is September...October...November...arghhh! The older I get, the faster the years fly by, I swear it!
No they don't look like casts...grin. They are really beautiful and very 'Christmasy'. Good for you getting started while you can be relaxed and not rushed.
They will look lovely hanging from walls. Please post some more of your mother's doll collection they were fascinating photographs.
Hi Carol,
I have sent you a couple of emails recently, via your profile- as you were asking about my magazine article- did you receive them OK?
