Charms

Two charms made from sample perfume bottles. I painted the inside ot them with alcohol inks. I filled them with gliiter, small beads and torn text I glued a bead in the top of one with a headpin inside it. The other had a bead glued on and I wrapped it in foil strip and soldered it. I painted the stoppers with a copper krylon pen. It still looks dull:-( I wrapped some wire around the bigger one.

Traci Bautista

I am slowly going to work through Traci Bautista's
collage Unleashed.

I made some crayon cupcakes by melting pieces of crayon in foil cases in the oven

To get this effect I melted a cupcake onto my craft iron and smeared it onto the cardstock.

Finally I scribbled a blue glitter crayon onto the iron, Pressed and lifted off. I repeated this process carefully wiping the iron in between.
I am going to use this as a book cover

December 15th

The Cyril Critchlow collection was opened today
by Ken Dodd at
Blackpool Central Library.
I was fortunate to have an invite. First we had lunch and were entertained by members of the Magic Circle. We had a preview of the collection of Ephemera left behind by Cyril. Ken Dodd gave a tribute and we had a good laugh at all of his jokes.
He has to be the UK's funniest comedian.

The gardens opposite the Casino in Monte Carlo.

Me and Jo. Monte Carlo.

Crafted with limited supplies. Whisky helps too.

Made some backgrounds by using watercolour crayons scribbled on paper and dragged out with a waterbrush. Spritzed with home made shimmer mist. Stamped over this and cut into strips then did some paper piecing for the backgrounds.

Me and George Clooney in Cannes

I owe Adrienne another swap where she chose a Medieval theme. I struggled with this as I didn't have any suitable images. I made and started different things that I wasn't happy with.
So she gets a chain maille bracelet which took me a couple of days.
