storybook locket

So, anyone would assume going part-time would give me so much more time to work on creative projects.... It has, but its also made me lazy.... hey, its okay to start with right? I was going to lie and say I've been busy, but really I've just been having a mini-holiday :)

I LOVE making things that move or have secret little hidden compartments. Like lockets! So my idea for this month's project was to make a little book that opened up and was either going to be a locket or just a little box the wearer could keep something in.


At the moment its still in pieces on my bench, but I plan to get finish it off so I will add some photo's at a later date. I think it is going to look good! Eventually..... okay from now on I'm being more organised I promise!

Thanks to everyone that got involved this month!

Its so exciting to see a range of different responses to the same idea. It was interesting I thought that while my response was quite literal, all the writers seemed to end up with quite sad stories? Or maybe they weren't necessarily sad but that was the impression I got and how they made me feel. A list of anyone involved will be added to the side bar today.

New project starts today, the idea is "missing you". Feel free to play along!! Make sure you send us any links or responses so that we can post them up for everyone to see.

    Ooo! I like it very much!

    And yes, you're entitled to a little holiday. But I do want to see this piece finished -- I might even buy it from you!

    And, in my impatience, I published that comment twice. Does that make it twice as meaningful?

    This is a terrific idea! The idea of a storybook locket is amazing. Let’s face it, what people put in it will tell a story about them. I hope we get to see some photos soon!
