Try it on Tuesday -- A fine romance The Artistic Stamper -- HeArt art

For this challenge on Try it on Tuesday, and The Artistic Stamper, I have made some pages for a book in the heart box that I altered earlier.

The pages are a mixture of Dylusion spray inks, distress inks, with stamped images. Some have die cut hearts and others have stamped images on hearts,

Every inchie Monday -- Slippers

This week I decided to colour Arthur's life up by making him a pair of blue felt slippers and a pair of Minion ones. I made the felt and cut out the soles and sewed on the top piece and added some beads. The Minion slippers are drawn on stampbord and coloured with distress pens.

Rhedd's Creative Spirit Challenge & SanDee & Amelies Steampunk challenge -- Anything goes.

This is my entry for Rhedds Creative spirit challenge for February. I altered an old large book of my Dad's to use as an art journal. In this, I just write down what I have done art wise. For the cover, I used a piece of card from some packaging and some corrugated card for the top piece. I sprayed the main cover with Glimmer Mist & Dylusions ink sprays, and for the top piece I used Gesso and PaperArtsy Fresco paint. The images are a mixture of shrink plastic using PaperArtsy and Tim's stamps, Tim's cogs and die cuts, and various other steampunk bits.

I am entering this in the following challenges.

Tag Tuesday -- Shadows - Reflections

Rather than find a picture of reflections, I decided to attempt painting a quick scene in watercolour. I should have taken more time on it, but watercolours are not my best medium, and it never goes as I would like.

The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge -- Q

This time on The Craft Barn, the letter is Q, so I have chosen Q for Quail. I already had an image on my computer from when I made my fabric A-Z of birds. I made the background with crumpled printed tissue paper. When it was dry I painted it with white gesso. I then used three shades of distress stains and applied them to the tissue paper. I then sprayed with water to blend the colours. The quail was then put on his rock with some grass at the base.

My Book of the sea is finished.

At long last I have finished my book of the sea, here it is: The book measures 12" high x 9 1/2" wide and is 3" thick. Warning this is a picture heavy post.

Every Inchie Monday -- Bulldozer

Goodness these words are getting more difficult by the week. This time a bulldozer, not too bad trying to draw one, but sewing one was not easy. Luckily I had some metal bits that made reasonable wheels and a scoop for the front. The yellow felt is far too fluffy, and looks like a car a minion would ride in. Not in proportion, but made in a hurry, and as good as I could make it at midnight.
