Giraffe, key fob, and assorted cards. Plus a giraffe pinboard

 These are my last items for our November Picturesque exhibition. 

An upcycled cork board has been changed into a giraffe noticeboard/pinboard, using a large giraffe image from a new African scarf. 

 

Using the remaining giraffe images on the scarf, I've made some greetings cards. I also made two elephant cards from hand printed fabric from Jaipur, India, and a stencilled rose card.

Below are some key or handbag fob cards, with a heart theme - the fob is detachable.

Art Exhibition November 2025

 

These photos were taken on the third Saturday in November, where we offer coffee, cake and catch up - and fill the flat surfaces with all the "stuff that won't go on the walls!"

Mosaic Christmas Tree table centre with candle

 

 

This is a "recue and repurpose" Christmas decoration, which can be used as a decorative table centre.

Base: 20cm x 15cm

Height of the cone: 24cm 

The base is a wooden board from a charity shop with added mosaic glass tiles. The candle is handmade from a beeswax strip. It is set into a glass container with clear resin. The polystyrene cone is glued to the wooden base, and it has glizy bathroom tiles glued to it. There's a handmade bead angel sitting on the top.

FOR SALE: £20 free UK postage

Below is another view of the table centre, plus two other "rescue and repurpose" Christmas items, also for sale.

 

Christmas Table Centres with mosaic Robins

 

 

These 2 table centres are a combination of "rescue and repurpose", and detachable new mosaic robins, which could be for your own Christmas tree.

I used two gold plantpots from a charity shop, together with some old tree decorations from my loft. Heights 15"/38cm and 16"/42cm. The pots are filled with decorative glass pieces, and resin to hold the centre pole.

The Robins are newly made - I cut robin shapes from MDF, added mosaic tiles on both sides, grouted them and added a red pipe cleaner as a hanger. Approx. 15cm x 7cm.

They are ready for the Picturesque November 2025 exhibition, but are also for sale through this website.

£20 each free postage

 

Christmas Table Centre

 

 

Continuing the theme of rescue and reuse, I have painted a "four pot metal planter" in silver, highlighting the berries and leaves with green and red acrylic paints.

The two trees are made from MDF sawn into tree shapes, which I then painted and added mosaic tiles. Each has a string of lights. I've added a room fragrance set (bought from B and M) and a plant in a 3" pot.

For Sale: £30 plus postage (no plant).
