Thursday Journal with Neet

This week the theme is squares,  not sure about this one. It sounded easy before I started and I just went for the first thing that came into my head. The page was already inked so I was pleased to be able to use it up. A lot of these pages were inked on the course with Dyan, so were really experimental.  I cut out a stencil with my sizzix and used brown paint for the squares, some of which are a bit wobbly. I used Dyan's stamps for the figure.
I'm sure a lot of us remember some of the pointless maths they taught us at school. How many of us have needed to find the square root of a number. Come on admit it if you have.

Every Inchie Monday -- Crow

Another bird again this week and it's the crows turn. The stampbord one is shrink plastic and I have given it a Halloween background. The sewn ones loads of stitches, and looks it bit down in the mouth and moth-eaten.

Go tag Thursday -- Stamp it

This week on Go Tag Thursday the theme is stamp it, where you can use rubber stamps or use real stamps for your tag.
Mine has a background of distress oxides and stamped flowers from Tim Holtz.

I am also entering this in Ikes'sworld challenge which is Easter/Spring flowers.http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/ikesworld-challenges-86-anything.html

Thursday Journal with Neet

This week I am doing the one Neet did last week. From now on we should be working off the same list.  I am late doing this as I have left it till the last minute. Why, when I know what the theme is do I always leave all the challenges until the last day, or in some cases well after the day it was due.
I struggled a bit with this as it is such a broad subject, and you end up with too much choice.
The page was already stencilled and was the only one I had left that was suitable.



Susi suggested once again that I link this to Art Journal Journey where the theme set by Hazel is Magical Mystery Tour. I suppose the cats must have gone to a zoo to find who they thought was their dad.

Stamps and stencils -- Chirpy, Chirpy Cheep Cheep !

I am scraping in, on the last day, with the Stamps and Stencils challenge of Chirpy, chirpy, cheep, cheep. I thought I might as well put in a few more tags for my bird shaped tag book.
The tags are double sided, and are a mixture of collage and stamping.







Tag Tuesday -- Things with wings

This week the theme is Things with wings on Tag Tuesday chosen by Joan. No birds this time, as that was the last theme. This tag is corrugated cardboard coloured with Gelatos. The images are stamped on separate card and the wooden butterfly buttons added afterwards.

Every Inchie Monday -- Parrot

This week, it's another bird. This time it's the parrots turn to get on the inchie. My stampbord one is shrink plastic, and i have managed to get two of them on.
The sewn one has black fine leather for it's beak and the rest is stitched. I was going to make this one 3D, but ran out of steam.
