Every Inchie Monday -- Egg

Egg is the word that start's the new year off on Every Inchie Monday.
 This year I am going to do my usual sewn inchie, and the mixed media one I am going to do on Stampbord. I have a lot of inch stampbords, and it's time I stopped hoarding them, and used them up. My stampbord egg has a nest of lichen and twigs, and the egg is shrink plastic. The sewn one is a fried egg, with the yolk stuffed with wadding and sewn on to a faux silk fabric for the egg white.

Artful Times DT piece -- Make 6 inchies from Received Christmas cards.

On Artful Times we are asking for 6 inchies to be made from received Christmas cards.
For mine I have made one bird orientated and the other general Christmas. I have mounted both on dark blue card and added other bits from some cards to help set them off. I then made them into Christmas cards. A start on this years, I might as well get ahead while I can. Having said that they might be the only two I make before December,!!

Tag Tuesday -- Three

Thank you all for visiting my blog this year. have a wonderful 2015.
On Tag Tuesday the word is three, so I have chosen to do three wise owls. I inked the background, and then used a brass stencil and sprayed over it to get a dark background to the trees. I painted some owls and then coloured them with distress pens, and added some leaves and grass to finish off the bottom of the tag.

Every Inchie Monday -- Magical

On Every Inchie Monday, our last inch of the year is 'magical. For the card one, I have stamped and shrunk a fairy perched on some flowers, and added an extra, so that my whole display is symmetrical. The second one is a picture of three very tiny fairies. For my sewn one I have sewn a unicorn's head out of soft leather added a main and sewn the horn down with silver thread,

Tag Tuesday -- A very vintage Christmas

A very quick tag today, as I should be making mince pies and cheese biscuits. I would of course rather make a tag. The background is inked acetate , and the images are from Somerset Studio, Tim Holtz and my stash.
