The thing I made in Portugal

 I can finally show you all the finished (not quite) piece that I made in the workshop I just took with Michael DeMeng in Estoril in Portugal. First I want to say that Michael is a great teacher.......a very funny man with the patience of a saint......and I would take another workshop from him ANY day!!

 On the front of my book is a metal shrine with a small glass bowl in the bottom of it that I bought in the flea market in Lisbon.......I also bought the porcelain doll whose head now sits in the glass bowl and the small light bulbs in the flea market.

 ......loved the little light bulbs.........

 The clock parts I took from home.................

 the inside of the book with niche.........

 ....large plastic doll hand and small plastic doll sitting on it......................

 ......on the inside of the cover..........

 .......the edges of the pages...............

 the spine made from curtain header tape...........with screws as attachments and as decoration.......

and finally two extra doll pieces!
The larger green one came to be known over the week as frog face or frog boy.....can't think why! Originally he was going inside the book but it turned out he was too big and the cover wouldn't close! So I have him for another something!!
