Advent Day 24 - Canvas



 
 
 Do you think he will see it?!  Maybe I could have made it brighter..?  :)
 

 
 
This is my project for Day 24 of Ali's Advent event.  Boy did I have fun!
 

 
 
First I gathered all my neon bits, then I smiled, the I started painting and getting messy!!
 

 
 
I stuck a Father Christmas peel off down and spread some texture gel over the top and peeled the sticker off.  Mixed some texture gel and paint and used a squeezy bottle and underlined the words
 

 
 
The foam letters looked really black so I rubbed a bit of white paint in to them.
 

 
 
I added a few tatty offcuts off ribbon along the bottom and to one side.
 
Again, I always say this when I photograph neon things, it is brighter in real life.  Very bright!
 
And I will be popping this in my window tonight and hoping he does indeed stop here :)
I hope you all have an amazing Christmas, thanks for stopping by

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
