Altered Block Graphic 45 Topography

                     

I love Graphic 45 and when I needed to make an altered block for a swap I couldn't wait to use topography! I also picked up some little glass bottles, a big brass key, crocheted flower and a drawer pull. The first thing I did was glue the paper on each side and inked the whole block. Then I made the pin cushion out of a vintage silver jello mold. I stared that out by cutting a small circle of lace fabric and sewed the edges together making a opened ended ball shape. On the open end I pushed the stuffing through and pulled the thread tight. It reminded me of a hot air balloon shape. I hot glued the ball to the bottom of the jello mold. It turned out perfect for the top of the block. I think my partner liked it..I sure had fun making it!
