Absolutely Charming

Charms are the challenge at ABAA this week.  I have played with charms in the past and enjoyed them very much, always meaning to make more.   Our local altered arts group had a charm swap that was fantastic.    In my thrift shop travels, I picked up a  game that had these inchie size plastic game pieces (anyone know the name of the game?).

One of the many things I like about challenges is the fact that it helps me focus on creating something, it’s a great starting point.  There are so many exciting things to try, it can be daunting sometimes.  These game pieces have been waiting for me for some time now :)

Be sure and visit Linda and Rosie, their inspiration pieces are always so fantastic.
