Time will never wait









This is the Friday challenge !!!! for "Art Adventure"
A matchbox !!!
I used a Swan Vesta box, Lined it and altered, then went slightly mad with metal, added embelishments of a clock filled with clock bits and memories, for the outside I used a saying
"Be early be late time will never wait" and attached a key and padlock.

Twisted


This little piece was once a flat bit of fabric..... I cut it the gave it a twist after machining over it and added some frayed sheer fabric, to complete I added some beads and swarfs that I found on the workbench (drilled bits) the waste..

This little piggy




This little Piggy is my Fabric cj that is being hosted by wisher,

He is drawn onto calico and painted with fabric paint followed by a little bit of machining.. and just a touch of hand sewing for his hair.........

Thanks to mandynio for taking the picture for me as I had deleted them off and not saved them to show.


Im looking forward to all the pages being put together.

I will decide what to do with them when they are all home.

Shrine Challenge


Well I have completed my first challenge for the Art Adventure,,!! Hope its up to standard.
It is made of card layered up painted with acrylic paint, the stamped image in the centre was done by colouring with inks and embossing, the roof is metal embossed, and the embelishments are grunge board treated the same as the shrine and edging is german scrap.

Beads


These little beauties are at the bottom of the arch..
they were made from dipping seed beads into the melting pot and re-dipping to make larger, before the clear coat wire was wound around the bead. very affective

Gothic Arch


Well a whole week without a camera is not good......

Not a word from anywhere...
I have to be more careful now with this one.

I have been playing aroundwith the camera snapping everything and Im quite pleased with this one..

These are my first pictures I did this technique with lb crafts and Paper Artsy.... A fab project.


I think this view has a bit more of a movement as if flying out of the frame

Take Flight


This is my project done for the September Art raffle "Take flight" ........
I am hooked........ as you have to be in to win.
I went with Pegasus..

Made with love.

Angelina purse


Well we got back from Dorset...... I could have sold the boot a few times..
Apart from the damp English weather all went well...
This little purse is made from angelina one of my favourite techniques
All the sides were flat.... cut to shape and machined with little beads added, then assembled and little tassel's added afterwards
Now whats the next project??
