SHELTER FROM THE STORM

At the Creative Soul Retreat I met a lovely fellow artist who cheered me up when I was down.
This person, who shall remain nameless at the moment, probably doesn't even know the effect she had on me.
So, I made this canvas using paint & stencils, tiny little (pretend) bird eggs & some coconut fibre for a nest.
This piece will be winging its way to its new owner tomorrow.
I hope she likes it.

House Bezel

One of my favourite blogs to visit is 'A Mark In Time', featuring the amazing work by the very talented Jen Crossley.
A little while ago, I saw her wonderul bezels & thought, maybe I could make one.
Well, after lots of cutting, measuring(not my strong point!), soldering, glueing, 'Iceing" etc. I made a little house bezel.
I am really pleased with the result & got Jens permission to post a pic, after I confessed to her that I had stolen her idea.
Jen was very supportive,as is her wonderful nature.
Jen is the only Australian authorized agent for the wonderful 'Ice Resin', which is easy to work with & dries so completely clear, it looks like glass.
So, here it is. Let me know what you think.

A RECORD: 3RD POST IN ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!

A few months ago I made some bezels with the help of Elizabeth aka Queen of Toys.
They turned out to be realively easy to make.
I filled them with some watch bits, a picture of my sisters doggy Mimmie, who recently passed away & some little metal eggs, which Margaret  had shown us a few weeks before this when she came to Melbourne for a short break.
I filled them with Ice Resin(LOVE THIS STUFF!) and think they turned out OK.

ARTY DAY

After the Creative Soul Retreat, Bevlea (the Retreat Mastermind), Eva & I got together to talk over the retreat & to make some art.
Bevlea had purchased some unusual bezels from Susan lenart Kazmer. We played around with images, transparencies, glitter & doo dads & eventually filled them with the wonderful ICE RESIN, available in Australia through Jen Crossley who is the Sole Authorized Australian distributor.
This Ice Resin is great. Dries so clear it looks like glass.

Here is my effort.
