Twinkle Twinkle Lots Of Noise


I'm usually struggle with original titles... not this time!  I've used my Lottie Loves Paper kit - I had to have it as it contains Cocoa Vanilla!!


I share a partial process video too.  Partial because the light got too dim so I stopped.  And then went back.  Four times!  Adding or taking away or tweaking a little...  But it is worth a watch!  You get angry hands as I can't find a place for the yellow piece of ephemera that I love, you see me mess up my stencilling, you see me make a flickable paint from an Inktense pencil and you see me thickening up my texture paste with talc.



I don't have loads of different colours of texture paste.  I have a Spun Sugar Dazzlerz which is beautiful and very easy to colour.  You can add any kind of liquid colour (paint, ink, watercolour pencils etc.) to make a custom colour.  The only trouble is the Dazzlerz is the perfect thickness for using with stencils and when you add a bit of liquid to it it becomes a little too runny.  If it is too runny it seeps underneath the stencil and you don't get quite as precise an image.  I've found that adding a pinch of talc to the mix stiffens it up making it the perfect consistency again.


The alphas are Simple Stories, also from the LLP kit.  I ended up adding foam adhesive behind the word NOISE to emphasise it a bit more... there was a lot of noise!!


Hope you enjoyed!  Thanks for dropping by...

WOYWW 159

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
