Blue Bazaar Mixed Media Challenge

This months MM challenge over at BB was "Paint" Lu sent out a canvas kit with paint, tape measure, gum tape and lovely Basic Grey rub ons. So really all I did was aged it all, added some chipboard letters, a key, some flowers and a lovely paper whimsey image and voila canvas complete.

Now off to clean desk ready for the next creation to appear.

Aussie Dares

This months theme for Aussie Dares is "Foil." So I made this little arty piece using kitchen foil glued to to some chipboard, then used a texturing embossing plate from Cuttlebug. Painted on some golden paint washes, placed a stamped image on top, then placed 3 microslides on top, soldered them togeather. Used some junk jewellery and charms for decoration and some beautiful shardes of lilac mica as the window, then lastly added a black aging patina to all the silver surfaces...

Wild winds

After a week of wild winds, this is what happened in the early hours of this morning.

A lovely tree in our back yard full of blossoms ready for the hoards of parrots to visit...Not no more now... Lets hope that fence holds up until tree loppers come to remove it. Hope your having better weather where ever you are...

Something about nothing....

Not much to share with you this week, we finally have broadband so I have been catching up on all the latest blogs, and especially Youtube.. Hence very little creativity going on, that is unless Pathwords on Facebook is being creative. Yep totally addicted to it.

Anyway I will leave you with a little sneak peak of something that I have been working on, and still working on. Its taking me alot longer than I had planned, I am just hoping it will work out...

Happy creating...

Go check out Aussie Dares to see more eye candy and I must thank Jen, (Mixed media extraordinaire, and a dear friend who makes me laugh..), Mel, (Scrapbooker extraordinaire, whos beautiful layouts makes me want to scrapbook again..) and the lovely Helen (fabulous artist with alcohol inks and pens..

Today!!

Today when I was trying to alter a broach I found at the junk shop the other day, I totally got carried away with things I had eliminated for that broach and made this one instead. Then I decided I needed to make a pin board to stick my pins too, and pins from a swap that will be coming soon as well. Once I have all the pins I will share a pic them on my pin board.

Have a creative weekend.

A couple of ATC's

These are for a couple of swaps that I have participated in with a bunch of wonderfully talented woman. The 1st one was to use and only use what was in the kit made up by the lovely Greta. I found this very challenging, but fun.

The 2nd is for a cuttlebuggery swap. Obviously you had use your Cuttlebug. I used the textured embossing plate on the background then rusted it up, then used a Cuttlebug die use as a frame for the pic. I highly recommend you DONT use your favourite die for cutting mica. It blunts it lovely..!!!

Will be back for more later in the week...
