'Book Ends'

Over on Unruly Paper Arts today I have done a step by step making this pair of book ends:-

 
I used Paper Artsy Fresco Finish paint in Pansy with crackle glaze and then Snowflake over the top. I used images from the Rogue Redhead Designs Relish Reading Plate. The theme for this month on Unruly is Gifts and I thought they would make a great gift for a bookworm friend, perhaps with a carefully chosen book to go with it. I don't have a book case or any shelves at the moment so I am trying to read a book and immediately give it to the hospice shop, so I am keeping these book ends for myself, for a little stash of reading by the side of my bed.

I hope you will like them and that the step by step will make sense and be useful!
