ANOTHER FAIRY

After I made the fairy reverse canvas (see in a previous post), I decided that maybe she really needed to stay with me.
So, I made another. I  needed to step out of my comfort zone, and use colours that I rarely do.
So, this one is made using green as the predominant colour.
I used Golden Glass Bead Gel over the outside of the frame and then sprayed lightly with silver to give it a sparkle.
The nest is from my favourite 'E' store, Wednesday Wishes. It is so tiny, but, just perfect for this project.

FINISHED!!!!!!

Along with Elizabeth, Bevlea & Glenda( 3 Fat Ladies & 1), we have been getting together & creating a book to honour our familes, heritage etc.
We used Jen Crossleys lovely frames for the foundation of each page.
We cut, pasted, talked and sometimes swore our way through this challenge.
Numerous coffees, teas, food etc were consumed along the way.
The back of the book is a reliquary honouring my late Dad.
I am so thrilled with the results!!
Even though most of my family just doesn't 'get it' in relation to my art, my aim is to show this to them on Christmas day, when we are all together.
I'm hoping they will understand it & like it for what it is.
I will always remember  the great times I have had in the creation process with my beautiful, funny, irreverent  friends.
Below is the slideshow, let me know what you think, OK?

FAIRY CANVAS

Now Fairies are not really 'my thing', but I decided to join in a 'reverse fairy canvas' swap on Paperarts Yahoo Group. I made this one for me, because I had purchased these little gates a long time ago, loved them, but, never had the chance to use them.

The decorations on top & the wings were made with great moulds I purchased from my favourite E Store, Wednesday Wishes.

I like the result, let me know what you think.

JUNK OR TREASURE?

DH & I went to the Camberwell Market today.
Weather started off cool, then turned into a lovely sunny day.
I spent about $20 on these treasures, old folding ruler, 2 old tobacco/cigarette tins, old mini spirit level, some old metal 'things' old glass chandelier bits,tiny old padloock & my favourite, a cork topped glass vial of Hansens Junket Tablets!!
Love all my treasures, though DH thinks its just junk!

FINISHED & BOUND

Finally, my 'Medieval, Gothic, Religious' City Scapes project is finished.
A departure from my usual 'Vintage' style, but, I am loving the change of direction in my arty attempts.

SPOOKY ANCESTORS

I joined in a swap on Paperarts Yahoo Group called SPOOKY ANCESTORS. We had to create 12 pages using ITKUPILLI images. I love these collage sheets, they are so much fun!The pages are 6" X 4" and when finished we will bind our own into a very SPOOKY family album.

I decided to make all my pages different, as I struggle trying to make so many pages all the same. I'm really looking forward to getting all the swapped pages back.

Below is a Slideshow I made of all my pages. Let me know what you think.

ART CHALLENGE

I have done the challenge set by Barb & Bevlea on their blog 2cre8art.

This is an easy peasy way to create something with alcohol inks.
I made a card & an ATC.

I like the results, because I like anything that is relatively easy!!
Thanks Bevlea & Barb.
