The little swap I did with Kate the other day, was truly inspiring. Restriction can often lead to inspiration, and so it was with the 5 item swap. As a reminder, this is what Kate sent to me.
While I settled on the black cardboard, the fabric swatch, the gold leaf and the dagger and bell, two other materials initially spoke to me: The silver pipe cleaner and the silver crocodile skin paper. Well, you have seen the title of this post, so you might guess where this is heading… And so, once I had finished my swap project, I simply continued on…
Silver theme inside, silver box outside. I didn‘t have any silver candles at hand, but you get the drift. And can you guess what I put inside?
There‘s only *one* silver fox on *this* blog. I mean, with that shiny silver fox in my stash, I *had to* create this shrine.
The silver temples speak for themselves, so I left it quite simple. And if you look closely, you might even see I added the faintest bit of sparkle on those silver-greys on his temples… Love it. (The white and blue heart is actually a magnet that can be removed!)
Celebrating the silver…
Yes, that totally warrants a second photo. 😍 And from what I have read so far, most of you are equally taken with the distinguished strands of grey… Fox-ay!!!
As for where the shrine is going… tune back in here on the blog tomorrow. I have a plan…

Just goes to show that everything will be needed at some point when you’re a crafter—leftovers from a swap, a long ago shiny fox purchase. We have to keep it all.
I’m a sucker for a monochrome look and this is done to perfection. I’m in love! 🤍🤍🤍
