Altered Domino Jewellery

I've signed up for an Altered Jewellery Workshop/Tutorial with the talented Zuzu and have had great fun altering Dominoes today!

Here's the first one that is complete, apart from attaching it to a chain. The photo isn't that brilliant as the embellishment at the top should be the same shade of silver as the metal one at the bottom. More to follow soon.

Forum birthday

This card was for Chris.

I love this Crafty Individuals stamps it so reminiscent of my teen years. ;-)

Art Journey Challenge #7 "You used WHAT??!!"

I used the netting that went around some oranges to help create the background along with distress inks, worn lipstick; vintage photo and glimmer mister pink bubblegum.

Then topped with an image and script from Art Journey stamps.

Artsycrafts special event with Tim Holtz

I'm still floating on cloud nine after attending the most amazing workshop with Tim Holtz.

Tim is such a wonderful, witty tutor the 4 hours of his workshop whizzed by so quickly but I achieved completing this box, apart from attaching the feet in that time.

Tim walked around the room explaining, giving tips and answering questions whilst also obligingly signing various item and having photos taken, all done in a totally unflappable style.

Mario king of kits was at hand with replacement bits and pieces for when things might go wrong.

Alain aka Mr Ranger supplied us with a great kit bag to use for the class which we got to keep afterwards.

I'm so pleased that I took my copy of Tim's book "A Compendium of Curiosities" which he personalised and signed for me.

I'm so grateful to Lin and Leandra for organising this tremendous event, of course it wouldn't have been an ArtsyCrafts event without one of their fabulous classes along with all their wonderful helpers, which I'll tell you about tomorrow.

Inchie for a special person

Stamped onto an acrylic inch with stazon then coloured in using promakers on the reverse, then sealed with seafoam embossing powder. Edged with gold pentouch. If you're wondering who the special person is, clue is in the stamp ;-)

Ball Chain Charm Bracelet

I've made a quick Ball chain charm bracelet to wear for a very special Tim Holtz Artsy Crafts event happening this Thursday. I got the idea from the super talented Lin Brown when I saw these on her blog

This was really a quick make, the beads are covered in the most delicious colbalt blue gloop (Viva decor Inka Gold) and so were my fingers for awhile ;-)
