The figures Jo got me in Lunenburg were fabulous (my favourite is the Santa I added to window 5 (which is why I have uploaded it again) and so here I am in Dusseldorf seeing if I can get any more. If my quest fails I have ordered some over the internet but as I had to send a cheque and they say orders can take 10 days to process I don't hold out much hope of getting them in time. Check out the wonderful laser cut buttons they do anyway - be warned you will find you NEED some - http://www.customlaser.co.uk Enough chatter - here are my windows to date:
Number nine was the Spatter Technique (I use an old toothbrush) and I added Cinderella's Golden Slipper to the window.
Ten was Twinkling H2o's on Mulbery paper and the little angel was a button which I placed on a travel domino.
Number 11 was Dry Embossing (recognise the Swiss Dots Folder) and here is another of Jo's little gifts to me. Isn't that a lovely little tree?
Twelve was my son's favourite when he came yesterday. Shooting stars which I covered with Rock Candy to make them glisten. The background is where you crumple paper and then smoosh an inkpad over, recrumple and then put another over and then iron afterwards (encaustic iron obviously).
Thirteen is a bit dark. You might just about be able to see the number - it is the Joseph's Coat technique and I was surprised at how good my brayering was. Thought I couldn't brayer but did well with this. Another of Jo's little figures.
And now for a repeat of number 5 from last post but this time with the Santa on - isn't he just great?

I love the advent calendar and I saw a couple of techniques I had never heard of before. Since I'm brayer challenged, I applaud you and your efforts (#4).
It is looking brill Neet, love the wooden figures you have used
There are some beauties there; I particularly love Cinderella's slipper and the little ?elf in the shooting stars scene.
