Tick Tock...

Goes the vinyl !!!
What on earth are you on about i hear you say..
Well what do you do when your old records are all scratched up and no good to play any more..
 Turn their scratching and popping into ticking and tocking by transforming them into clocks of course.

I actually started this project  many months ago, for fathers day in fact, but mid way through playing my mojo disappeared, so there it was left to sit on a shelf waiting for some inspiration.

I finally got said mojo back and managed to finish it just in time for my Dad's birthday this month.
I covered the record with a smidge of mica powder paint here and there to add a bit of interest.
I used metal numbers, some metal sheet embossed with a TSS kabuka mould, and some paperartsy images stamped on basic grey paper and cut out to fill in the spaces and jazz it up a bit.
And i can officially report that my Dad loved it..
I'll be back again tomorrow with my final pieces of 2010 x

I was framed i tell you!

I was having a bit of a clear out the other day and came across some old mini gold frames belonging to my OH, he didn't want them and i was going to put them in the charity shop when all of a sudden creativity took over and this was created

It could of had something to do with the fact that i stumbled upon an awsome tutorial by the extreamly talented Lin of L.B Crafts.

I actually never dreamed i could create anything quite as good but i gave it a go and boy am i happy with how my piece turned out, sorry to blow my own trumpet but hay I just LOVE it!

Lin's instructions were super, and even though i didn't have all the ingredients {i traded ferro for golden pumice gel and percious metal for liquid acrylic} It still worked ok..

So i had created my mini masterpiece and decided to finish it the only way i know how...MINXY STYLE... With the help of an old leather belt, a mini glass bottle & old paper, and a metal winged- friendly plastic creation {using a paper artsy stamp} it was complete.

Thank you so much Lin.. You inspire me to new heights. I so need to start saving for an artsycraft weekend!!!

Don't forget to enter my OWOH giveaway, cut off is Midnight saturday GMT x

Card Creations

I am finding it hard to produce cards, this was mainly what i did untill about a year ago when i discovered altered art and how much fun it can be. Anyway, since starting my altered journey i have found it increasingly difficult to think of ways to incorprate my inky messy side into my cardmaking. I have made a few cards reciently that i am quite happy with though, and i thought i would share them...... What do you think ?
