The Gothic arch challenge this week is cities. I love Rome, so thought I would do that. I inked the background, and stamped the image of the Colosseum. I then added some bits from an old travel book on Rome.
I'm still in the chunky book mode, and these are for a swap for 4" x4" doors and windows. Having just done the chunky house one, this one was a must. Found it more difficult than I thought. They are a mixture of collage, texture paste, baby wipes, and images.
I haven't done the Gothic arch challenge for months, so thought I had better get into the swing of things again. The picture is of my husband (the one in the hat), his two brothers, and two cousins. I think the picture suits the title of the challenge which is Boys.
This book is made out of 4 beer mats, for the GAS MAMMA swap. The front is fabric, with an image transfer and bits of lace and buttons added. The inside pages are collage and stamping. I enjoyed doing this, and feel a visit to the pub is called for, as I have run out of beer mats.
I am interested in all types of art and crafts,including altered art, ATCs, painting, and textural crafts, especially embroidery, and felting. I also like to combine paper and fabric in mixed media art. My passion at the moment is fabric books. I love gardening, when the British weather and my bad back allows. My gorgeous grandsons and granddaughter also lure me out of my studio, that is until they are old enough not to make a mess in there
