OOPS

The material is a piece of bandage so quite textued!This was after, (trial and error)misted the bandage first gave better results than misting with water after applying Adirondack colour wash. Abstract pattern free hand design.

Ingredients
Adirondack stream colour wash
Bandage
Embroidery threads
Fabric flower, pearl bead, base card, peel off letters and acrylic butterflies from stash.

This Thursday - Challenge 18 Art from the Heart

This week was Art from the Heart - create any thing you love .... well I love trying new techniques - well techniques which are new to me so I tried PAPER MOULDING. I saw this techniqe here - Paul's great blog!!THANK YOU Paul.

My paper Moulded topper!!I chose to decorate the outside as it was textured whilst the inside was smooth I presume it's a personal thing as to which side you choose to decorate!! However the twinkling h20's soaked through so I can use either side!
Embossed

This maybe a better photo as the sun came out!! Debossed side

YIPEE - TANDA STAMPS and THE BIG ART ADVETURE CHALLENGE

I was lucky enough to win "This Thursday Challenge" and able to choose a sheet of Tanda stamps.... YIPEE ... being the indecisive person I am I was too spoilt for choice and so just had to buy some too.... so a HUGE THANK YOU to both THIS THURSDAY and TANDA STAMPS .

I just needed to play and have been very patiently waiting until today - as I wanted to make a real inky mess!!
I had spotted a new challenge The Awfully Big Art Adventure site and this weeks challenge allowed me to play!

I tried using Tim Holtz adirondack alcohol inks direct to the surface of my tin - but wasn't pleased with the result. So thought I'd try acetate, which was better then came up with the idea of stamping and designing onto paper and then using the acetate as a wrap...

Adronidic ink direct to tin


Acetate wrap


Stamped card
