I find honesty is the best policy!
To be frank I am sure you would have guessed that I did n't get around to clearing my craft table after finishing the bean tin ... but I thought I would fess up anyway!
I am kind of glad that I did n't! I started playing with the grunge paper scraps rather than tidying them away [as you do] and things kind of escalated from there.
I made nine grunge papers patches and joined them together with jump rings ... finally I finished off with a cute little hanger.
The inspiration came from Wendy Vecchi again ... The crafting god that is Tim - his patchwork and finally the very clever Claudine who used the jump ring technique for an online class.
Where would I be without these wonderful people, their fabulous products and their amazing inspiration!

Oh wow that is just fab!
excellent and very creative idea
I'm the same about not clearing away too... the only problem is when I have so much stuff on my table that I only have a tiny corner left to work in!!! I love this hanging Linda - fabulous work! The colours are so bright and cheerful, and the whole piece is very Wendy Vecchi! Wonderful.
that's stunning Linda - so colourful and cheerful and so much to look at.
FABULOUS - enough said! :)

Hi Louise - The grunge paper is coloured using Ranger distress inks and a blending tool!
