Wearable Art!

It's been quite a day here the weather can't decide to rain or snow... Definitely an indoors day and I actually managed a little crafting time! I worked on a tag for the Tim's 12 tags of 2012 but will blog about that soon, here's a piece that I made recently which fits perfectly with Grungy Monday 37: Tim Holtz Wearable Art!

This is a neck piece I've made using Tattered florals die, still one of my all time favourites. The larger flowers have been layered, it includes a rose creation and a few swirled roses. 

The layered flowers have a fringed centre.

Notice the papers mmmm, yummy ranger distress core'dinations, I have painted a sealer onto each flower petal, phew, I'm hoping it will keep the piece stronger and a little bit waterproof!

This is me wearing necklace, I have it on a chain that threads through the filigree shape.

Next is a little heart shaped brooch see two wearable art pieces...

Based on the necklace just with a different colour combination, love these colours and match distress inks perfectly.

This is a much clearer picture of the fringe centre.

And just because it's good to see here's what the back looks like, simply die cut from Tim's heart movers and shapers.

Well, I'm hoping to get a little more blog time in, frustrating that I have to download google chrome every time I want to post...

Have a wonderfully creative day,

Quixotic Challenge #36 ~ Alter It!!!

This is my second post today if you would love to scroll down to view my Club Anya magnet tutorial, Thanks :)

The challenge this week over at Quixotic Paperie has been chosen by the wonderful Rowena...

Alter It! Alter an item, or create a card using for example altered chipboard etc.

I did try altering the background papers with distress crackle paint but mine's dried up and not cracking well! Loving these papers and I have cut a few of the rabbit images out to place behind the filmstrip ribbon. So I've inked edges, added paint dabber under the left panel and the main altering is the witches hat, cut from grungepaper, painted with pitch black and applied a generous amount of clear crackle rock candy! I've also altered the colour of the string with distress inks and sanded the metal corner a little! Finished with a few random viva decor pearl paint drops!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland; Grunge paper;

Ink: ~ distress clear crackle paint;

Other:Viva decor ~ pearl paints; Tim Holtz: corners; filmstrip ribbon; paint dabber; mini fasteners; 3D foam;

I'm also entering this in for the wonderful Compendium of Curiosities, Week 9! Which is using distress crackle paint, I've used my clear as my other colour has run dry!

Studio L3 ~ Tinted Vision

Something a little different from me today...

I'm entering the challenge over at Linda's lovely blog Studio L3 where it's week seven of the Compendium of Curiosities challenge. The challenge is Tim's Tinted Vision Fragments Technique on page 55 of the book. I've been meaning to get on with the fabulous projects int his book and this has given me the nudge to give it a go. I needed to create a quick project and thought I would embellish a tag.

I didn't have a little photo ready so I've used this pretty glitter rub on of a girl whispering to her teddy, I have applied it to some canvas cloth then glued on my tinted fragment as Tim's instructions... I may need a few more alcohol ink colours!

Stamps: Tim Holtz: Fanciful flourish; Studio G: alphabet; Image: vintage glittered ~ rub on;
