Art Girls Weekend

My friend S came over on Saturday. We spent the day make yule cards. I had the 2007 and 2008 card instructions
from Tim Holtz. His 2009 tags start on the 1st of Dec. My friend is still learning some of the fun things you can make
with alcohol inks, embossing powder and grunge board. We had a great time !

Below are a few of our creations.


This is my friend's one. The card has distress ink pad rubbed round edge using inking tool. Then santa was stamped
on. Finally the ornaments where fragments glued to a piece of photo card which S had coloured with alcohol
inks.



These were created using a simular idea. The back had a edge dusting of vintage photo disstresss ink , then
the stampers of words added using walnut distress ink and the other seasonal stampers added and embossed.
Finally grunge board seasonal elements where cover in brass crackle paint, inked in green or red then added
to the card and a ribbon added.



This one had a simular distress edge work. Santa was stammped on the card and a second sheet. The second sheet
has colour added. This was glued on a large fragment and added to the card. Finally a bow was added too.

I have also completed a set of ATCs for an exchange. Cannot show you those yet until they get to their new homes.

YULETIDE ART

Spent time today making a few more tree ornaments. I was trying out a few ways to give the effect of snow . This first one is not finished but I was looking at using liquid paper and snow glitter mixed.


This one has used more of T!M's grunge board. I mixed stamped images, paper layering , grunge shapes and stickles.




Hubby bought me a new set of draws for my art room today. These are 

Pictures to go with posting below...

First this is one of the altered art tree decorations I was making with my friend.


This is the art quilt I was making on Saturday morning.

More art and music

On Saturday morning spent time creating an art quilt. It was based round the wedding photo from a lady I work with.
Machine embroidery, ribbons, beads and charms all came together to create the piece.

Our friend Bunni came to stay too. Most of Saturday was spent catching up. In the evening went to see Funkee Claw. Very good evening even though it was not well attended. Our mate is the lead singer and his wife provides back up vocals too.

Sunday, Bunni and I spent getting covered in glue and glitter. I was showing how to make altered art tree ornament Tim Holtz style.

So although it poured with rain most of the weekend , we all had a great time.

Music and Art

Last weekend went to see Fleetwood Mac at Wembley. We joined my Sister and her partner. GREAT EVENING !



On Saturday attended a day school on colour on canvas. The class had been moved.
Denis Jones took us though using colour and creating creative canvas !! Below are two pieces I made. So OK, the second one I finished at home. Like the boxes on the right.

DH picked up more of my framed art. Most of the pieces I have had framed are Yule gifts so below is the only one I can share as its for me.
