The Heart and Hands of Lilla

Many of you know Lilla


If not, please visit her blog. She has been an inspiration to me. Lilla has wonderful videos that show her teaching her techniques from her studio in Hawaii. Lilla also has a photo sharing site at flickr and offers her finished products for purchase on http://www.etsy.com/shop/Lilla.

I was graced by this giveaway, and I am inspired to play!
Thank you for the inspiration Lilla! (and the photos)


soooo,,,I played with it....still working on it......


I turned over the cross to the side with the collage book page...added black lace, roses, wired beads to the tag... Punched the corners of the note card Lilla sent..added a couple of cat hairs,,sigh,,,. I will do the other side too using the saint and prayer cards. It was nice to have the parts to get started with.


Have a nice Valentines Day my friends.
