colour

I am a blue lover, I love every shade and tint of it....but isn't this colour just...yes I have to say it....DEVINE!!!!!

...can you see just a hint of blue?

Texture tute

I have made a texture tute for youtube that will be uploaded later tonight, these little pieces are the final product...I thought I'd put them here because my web cam images look a bit off and the colour is not right, so out came the FujiPix S5700 digital camera :)

Resist...if you can

I love this technique, I have run a few classes using it in different ways...from triptych housie books to altered shoe inserts, it is truly divine (do I use that word too much?...nah), I have made a mini tute for youtube...no it's not up yet, I am waiting for kids to go to bed so I can do the voice overs.

Mini demo tute on youtube

I have just uploaded my second tutorial, it is a basic look and play with fusible film, crystalina and angelina fibers....so get your irons out people....this is for those who like clean hands....you won't be so lucky next time...think texture!!!

MADJAK Embossing powder

I am sooooo besotted with this colour I have created for MADJAK Designs, it is just one of four ideas, I am just awaiting packaging solutions and I have to come up with a name for it...that is no easy task...it is marbled and quite vintage looking and is divine on both dark and light cardstock....and it is super fine detail!!!

Fimo fun

I have joined another Yahoo group and the first swap I signed up for was housie charms...made from polymer clay...now I have never used it, so I hope they are ok for my efforts....the first set were terrible, so I tried again and had fun.
They are about an inch tall, and half an inch wide, I had stamped into them and then gently rubbed Pearl Ex over them, then pressed beads and a little angel face before baking to set....I took the photos in poor light, so you can't see how lovely the colour really is, it is a turquoise tone over red clay, on the back I used some gold leaf.

An Elephant for Danielle

After many many many requests to share my techniques, I have finally gotten around to making a mini demo tutorial of one of my WIPS (Work In Progress), everybody knows how much I love fusible film/fantasy film and I have enjoyed playing with the product for about two years now, so of course it is the star of my first demo.
So go see it and let me know what you think....but bear in mind although I am a teacher of art techniques...I am not an actress and it was quite strange to try teaching to nobody, so because I was giggling so much I had to edit the sound and try my hand at dubbing :)

Updated image of LED Scribe

I have posted this new image of the LED Scribe after I put a "hot glue turbin" on the little LEDs, it seems to spread out the light a little....thanks for the hint Ben! :)

promoting good things

I am always more than happy to promote a product that I find fun or interesting and this was no exception, I had a lot of fun with it and I think the possibilities of how it could be put together are endless, I opted for a vintage feel...

now the product I am speaking of is called an LED Scribe, it is pieces of good quality acrylic that you put together to create a mini display, it has a pair of tiny LED lights that once you attach the battery and flick the switch illuminate your display...I have embossed on the front and as per instructions I have done a design of my own (swirls of course) on the back using hot glue.
To purchase one of these kits visit LEDScribe.co.uk the lights are available in several colours, I have used blue.
