A Masterful Recreation

Many years ago Deb came up with an idea to showcase label stickers and rubbings in the booth.   It involved a huge glass dome, some wire, and styrofoam.  After we used the dome a few times in the booth it became just too precarious to cart the dome from show to home and back to the show time after time so it went home to live with Deb in her studio.


Fast forward to November 2010, our friend Sande Krieger visits Deb's studio during the Advent class weekend and spots the big dome on the top shelf...a little dusty but still a fabulous idea so she snapped a picture for future reference.
That picture came in handy when Sande decided to create her own mini version this week. 

Here it is...


the inside 'guts' of the project
love those tiny label stickers!


If you hop over to Sande's blog she has so kindly listed links to the products she used to create her masterpiece of typography from the stickers to stamps to labels.

But wait there's more! 

After you take a look at Sande's blog and check out the links, pop back here and leave us a comment because Sande is giving FIVE of our LUCKY blog readers the chance to select one of her digital kits from 2Peas.  That's right...any...one....you...want!  You can find them here (my crimony, it seems there are 152 to choose from!).  Sande will send each of the five winners a download link for the kit they choose.

Please be aware when entering that you will need photo editing software such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to open most files. NOTE: you can download a trial version of Elements for free from Adobe.

Since we leave for CHA in the morning my husband will be picking the winning names for us on Saturday the 29th... Good luck Ladies!

    I am very inspired by Sande's blog and project - I am thinking of how it could be done in some other ways with things I have in my studio. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!

    I have followed Sande Krieger for several years now. I absolutely love her work! In fact, just yesterday I sent an email to a friend showing her the "dome project"...I enjoy her blog and her travels, so fun. Most anything of Sande's digitals would make me happy...Thanks.

    I wish I was as creative as you ladys. I love the dome with the labels and I'd love to win the digital kit. What is that anyway? I've never seen one. Going back to Sande's blog and take another look. (One up close would really be great - like as in I'm a winner) :)

    I love all your ideas and love ideas from all three of you! I mentioned on Sande's blog that I love the idea of using my fun collection of apothecary jars for something other than candy! I've been trying various fillers, but it looks a little too easy. So, I've got some inspiration! Thanks, and have a great time at CHA!
