Theme Thursday Dance

Thought this might work for the theme at theme thursday which is Dance

Its a very complicated mixed media background with all kinds of materials and techniques used but a simple cheeky dancer just seemed perfect to celebrate all that colour lol

The Vagabond

coming from nowhere , with nowhere to go ...I named this one the Vagabond as it suited , however none of that matters if you have a big heart ..

Experimenting Again - Lemon Burning

Lemon burning technique has been used to burn the edges around the torn stamped paper before i mounted onto inked background on the first atc and distressed.

The second atc has also been burned directly on a printed piece of card then distressed by sanding.

The third atc is just an extra one i made today using book text and images plus embossing

It was lovely to play today as have spent the first full day at home for a while. I enjoyed my usual experimenting :=)

Foil sweet wrapper & Blog award

On foil sweet wrapper, some alcohol inks and a few other bits and bobs and i came up with these two makes :

An inchie made on Tim Holtz Fragment with memory foil and an atc with all sorts



Oh I have to tell you ...................... I came back to life today after being so poorly lol and was immediately cheered up by Dawn nominating me for this gorgeous Marieantoinette award ... How gorgeous is this !!! ... Of course i do need to pass it on yet but need time to catch up in blogging land and my website first so will do that later
Hugs and special thanks to Dawn who is an angel .

Snakeskin atc

I got some fabulous snakeskin paper that was just begging for a little alcohol ink. So off i went with that and that only in mind then decided and atc was in order and from there this one was born ... that is sometimes how i create, just with one colour or material and then it just goes from there. Are you all like that too ?

Here are two theme thursday entries. I enjoyed this colour challenge and these are both atc's. Using stamps, threads, vintage buttons,papers etc





This is my contribution to Art creations friday
Love this couple and thought they deserved some stars and
a new year clock

Flappin

Twenties style inspired this winged atc lady. I called this one 'Flappin' Mainly done with two different patterns made from food colourings (see my tutorial on junes crafty tips )

Also I just recieved this wonderful award from Maxine

and I wanted to say a really big thanks for this one my friend. I have the award given twice now and have passed it on but its so lovely when someone cares enough about your page and work and friendship to nominate you :)

Medusa - Mixed media atc

I always loved the medusa myth and the fabulous and intriguing imagery it always produced in my head.Here is my version of 'Medusa' The image was sketched in pencils and then torn from my sketchbook and then mounted on a stamped background which i had coloured. I then drew the snakelike hair across the whole area and painted with a mixture of watercolour,acrylic and pens.

Purple Grass atc

This is my purple grass atc. Stamped, water colour paints and cut out and placed on background of acrylic in metallic green, doodle in sakura and purple glitter glue
