Playing and Toy Soldiers


A couple years ago, my husband and I wanted to attempt one of the McGyver Challenges in Readymade Magazine. The challenge was to repurpose and transform an old computer printer. So we got to work and then never even submitted the darn thing. Our idea had miniatures involved and then that inspired something else altogether. We were completely entranced and inspired to build a small diorama featuring whatever we were able to get out hands on. At the 99 Cent store we found a bag of toy soldiers for the project and then put those away...never to complete out miniature project. So sad.

A few weeks ago, I was cleaning out our storage shed and came across the soldiers. I snatched them out and kept them in-sight, certain that they would inspire something new for T&A Friendly. Then, the idea came and her she is-chunky and ornate combs and brooches...

most will be available at Flock Shop (www.flockshopla.com) at most definitely at my booth at the Funk and Rumble Block Party in 3 weeks.
