Smeared and Smudged February Blog Hop Cracked and Broken

Hi, my friends!  This month's hop theme is "Cracked and Broken" at Smeared and Smudged.  I had 2 ideas for separate things that I have had hanging around here for months.  And they came together in my head for this theme!  It is a shaker box filled with cracked, red glass.  The red glass came from a wonderful lamp that I was totally  pissed when it broke but immediately thought pieces of a broken heart.  Oh, the maze of a crafter's mind!  The red riding hood image had been completed made from a makeup kit box that had a little window.  But she was just incomplete waiting for something.  And the glass was it.  My connection to the theme is that sometimes our tough exteriors come from broken pieces of ourselves...be it heart, image, whatever.  Deep thought for me, huh?  She is colored with Bic Mark Its and the background is scrapbook paper from the "Once Upon a Time" stack and the edges were inked with black and brown markers in places.  I colored the clear plastic inside of the window with a brown marker not going for full or even coverage....our insides or not evenly colored at least I don't think so:)  The sentiment is from Tim  Holthz's alphabet pad stuck on white paper and inked.  Then a hammer and a napkin and breaking the glass in small pieces to add!  Another simple project but this one took a couple months from start to finish.   Off to our next blog and leave some love...it keeps the wrinkles away from crafter's faces!  True fact!  No, not really but wouldn't it be great!

Happy crafting!
