Lotstodo Challenge - Alter It

This box originally held cuff links and tie pin!!!! It now holds my postage stamps!!! I covered the whole box in Gesso and then once it was dried I covered the top in a thick coat of 3D paste I run a comb through it to create ridges - next came a coat of green acrylic and then I run a bronze dabber over some areas. To decorate I used some memory glass, an image and sealed with memory tape. I then coated a bamboo dominoe with dabbers - stamped it then varnished it. I finshed the domino by adding some wire I had wound round my pen to curl. I lined the inside with matching paper.

Little Houses

Two more of my houses for the swap on Hels Angels Forum - I'm really having fun getting them done - 2 more to go!!

So Artful - trees

I used torn paper gesso, acrylics and mod podge to create my background on an old wooden palette - my trees are stamped on to tissue before adding with mod podge and my quotes - direct stamping and heat embossing.

Saturday Workout - Altered CD

Houses

This is one of the houses I've made for a swap on the Hels Angels forum.

I brayered the background and stamped a Tim Holtz background stamp with Stazon. I embossed my door and window with distress Powder (weathered wood) and rubbed off the chrystals. My image is from Crafty Individuals. I made my roof by using metal in an embossing folder then aging with black Gesso. I finished off by adding my little car and door number before inking all the edges. Only 4 more to do!!!

Lotstodo Challenge - Wings

I used torn cardboard as my base - coloured with dabbers.

My doll was made with a domino - coloured with alcohol inks - bottle top - flattened and again coloured with alcohol inks I added the image and covered the grungeboard wings with dabbers.

I stamped my words with Stazon and inked them before adding them. I then finished off by adding a key and sawn off ruler which again I had covered with alcohol inks. I made my hanger with rafia.
