When I was tiny my Great Grandad used to call me his little princess, so it might come as a bit of a surprise to hear that I have never had a crown! Well until now.

I had a fab weekend at a paperartsy/LB Crafts event, made lots of friends and even made a lovely metal crown.

The crown is metal backed with plastic, decorated with ten second studio tools and paperartsy letter stamps. I love the scrunched up balls at the top - these are made from 1/2 polystyrene ball and crumpled up metal. I used alcohol inks and black acrylic paint to decorate.
