Purplecats chunky house pages...



So I am in a swap on http://www.atcsforall.com/ its for chunky book pages ( these are 6 x 4, with a roof shaped top, and are "chunky"). I finally got my first 2 done, I love how they have turned out. We can do 4-10 pages, obviously the more you do the more you get back! So I am aiming to as many as I can. I was in the first chunky house swap and the returns I received were amazing!

Purplecats' tiny dolls!






I have such fun making these! I have always loved Russian dolls ( I have 5 sets) and recently got a Kokeshi doll(japanese), so I decided to have a play with polymer clay. These are 1inch to 1 3/4 inches high, so are really tiny!!



They are for sale in my Etsy shop http://www.purplecatscorner.etsy.com/
