Week 24 Challenge piece

Over on the Lots to do challenge blog, Steph has chosen this weeks theme as "your name". I made it so long ago, that I have forgotten what I did! I know it's a tag, with a meaning of my name, which is officially Margaret, which I hate by the way, but I couldn't find the meaning of Mags! I think I used acrylic dabbers for the background!

Memory Glass

Over on Sam & Hilda's technique blog, which I might add is absolutely fabulous, Sam gave us a demo on memory glass.
The one to left is my fist attempt & the one on the right is my 2nd attempt.
I'm pleased with both of them.

Week 23 Challenge

This weeks theme on the Lots to do challenge blog was chosen by yours truly & I decided to do Iris folding.Now I know it's not most peoples cup of tea as it's a bit fiddly & not messy, but sometimes it nice to try something different for a change! And it's a great way to use up scraps of paper you might have in your craft box!I hope you will give it a go!

Canvas NU 2!

This is my canvas for a swap happening on lots to doThis is for Claire so I hope she likes it!

Week 22 Challenge

This weeks challenge has been set by Andrea & she has chosen to Recycle it!I used an old butter tub for this. I painted it with acrylic paints, then I had planned to stamp onto it, but this didn't work, so I had to rethink, so I thought she could use it as a penny saving jar for craft goodies, so added peel offs onto it. It does look abit dull & boring, for which I am sorry, but the master plan went wrong.

4x4 & 1x1 swap

Sam over on Lots to do is hosting a fat page swap, but we have to include an inchies on them.So I used acrylic dabbers for my background, then stamped the flowers in black, then painted them in with some new paints I have, & then added the inchie.

Technique swap

Andrea over on Lots to do is hosting a technique swap.I choose to do 3 the same as I was playing with shaving foam!

Memory glass

I had a play about with memory glass this evening & came up with these. The square one is finished with ranger tape & the other is with a frame.Need to play about with it a bit more as I'm sure there is more to these.

Thrinchie Swap

These are my entries for a thrinchie swap over on lots to do forum. I made the backgrounds with the shaving foam technique & then mounted my ci images onto gold mirri card & then 3d them.

Week 21 Challenge

This is my piece for this weeks challenge (sorry I'm late). I chose to do an arch with some oriental backing papers & I used a black kimono peel off again onto some backing paper & 3d on.
I then popped some oriental epoxy stickers on to embellish it. I don't have a huge amount of oriental stock, so I was a bit limited to what I could make.

Week 20 Challenge piece

This is my piece for this weeks challenge, which has been set by our guest designer Sam, this got the brain working overtime!

I know Sam's favorite colour is green, so I used 2 different colours of acrylic dabbers for the background
I then found the eye image, used 2 black square frames which were stuck onto acetate, then mounted over the top of them,
I finally added some gold thread to create the effect of a pair of glasses.

BUT, can you spot the stupid mistake I have made??
I did correct it though before sending to Sam, but forgot to scan it in again!
