Well after flying all around the world today........

I decided to take a break and go out and play!

And this is what I made,well I have made a couple but this was the
only one that was dry!! It started life as an acrylic domino, I then added alcohol inks,which is totally covered now,so I won't be doing that again! I then added some perfect medium and a layer of UTEE, heated and then added a couple of layers of fantasy film, I forget which one :~(
Then two more layers of UTEE and another layer of fantasy film,( this was all just playing about and seeing what happened if I did this and added that, you gotta love it!) then a final layer of UTEE,then I stamped a moth onto some clear shrink plastic,added gold pen detail and tardarrrr added some of my bargain chain and drilled hole in top and added hook. (the colours are beautiful and the camera has not picked them all out :~(.....)

This is the back of the domino........ Alcohol inks and one layer of UTEE over the top, for that textured finish and rubbed over with mica powders.

Hello and welcome to the One World One Heart event.
This is my first time of being involved in this event and sadly will be my last!
If you would like to participate then please go and check out ONE WORLD ONE HEART to find out all the details.


Let me tell you a little bit about myself, my name is Jinny and I live in a beautiful part of Devon Uk. I am married with 3 children and have been creating in many shapes and forms, most of my life but about 12 years ago it became a passionate hobby of mine. I do all sorts of arts and crafts,ranging from Encaustic art, card making,scrap booking,ATC's,jewellery making and more recently I have got into altered art,which I love doing. I have collected quite a collection of stash over the years and have now been put outside in our garage! which is mostly where you will find me! A bit cold in the winter but I am happy out there lol.


I have recently taken up the opportunity to do some workshops in a local craft shop and am looking forward to doing that in the new future.

 To recap, to be in with a chance of winning a prize all you have to do now is leave just one comment on this post. The winners will be announced here on my blog on Thursday 17th February - please make sure there‘s a way I can contact you!

Friendly Plastic necklace

Well managed to grab some time in my favourite place this afternoon and made this necklace, made from Friendly plastic and beads.

I had been given a large framed mirror last year( everyone knows I collect rubbish) which was smashed, so last night I had to move some stuff and saw the mirror,which is now alot more smashed and wondered how I could use the fragments of mirror. So after having a think,wondered if I could incorporate, mirror and FP.......Here is the result :~) I had to be careful of sharp edges but the FP hs cured that problem...Tomorrow it gets to go out with me he he he. 

WOYWW

 Well not much going on at my desk.......

Wednesday work desk

This is what was left over from last night but came in early to watch "Silent Witness" and got too comfy and did not go back out.

 This is my January sales, each piece of chain was 20p each, nothing like a good bargain and I am sure I will use them all at some point. 

 Yesterday helped a friend spring clean and de-clutter her kitchen and hiding away at top of a cupboard were these yummy keys,which she was going to throw away......Can you believe that?? These will defiantly get used...oh yeah!

So if you want to join in the fun,pop over to Stamping ground and start WOYWW,  it's a lot of fun :~)

Large wooden block altered

Large wooden block

 Here is my completed wooden block,which I have named "Butterflies and Lace"

I have done the tin foil technique and then painted it over in yellow ochre and burnt sienna and cream acrylics.

A bit of stencilling with black paint.

Rubbed over with Sir Tim Holtz brown ink pad( you know the one i mean,have brain ache atm),to pick up the detail in the foil technique

stamped  watch, wording and an angel on tissue paper,as you can't stamp straight on to the foil.

Lace added around bottom and same brown ink pad rubbed over the top and wiped with wet paint brush.

Matt and layered vintage images on triple embossed card.

Acetate stamped and embossed butterflies.

Embellishments from my broken jewellery stash.

And little brass hooks to hang jewellery from in all 4 sides and on the bottom and large hook to hang it from.

Phew lol

No pictures yet......

But am working on a large block of wood, have some jobs to do this morning and then I shall brave my cold garage and try to finish it and hope to add some photos.
Hope you all have a good crafty day.
