Tag Tuesday -- Cooking

I was really stuck this week for the theme on Tag Tuesday, and didn't know where to start. I found a napkin with cutlery on, so stuck that on the tag. This didn't help much, as I then couldn't think what to put on that. In the end out of sheer desperation I found these two images on Google. They obviously didn't cook the cup cakes at the bottom.

Every Inchie Monday -- Implausible

This was a bit of a teaser on Every Inchie Monday this week. Implausible meaning unlikely could encompass a lot of things. For example I could have drawn a picture of my husband making me a path in the garden that he promised seven years ago. That's a definite unlikely. Instead I decided on a flying pink pig for the sewing one, and hell freezing over for the card one. Once again the scanner has not shown up the glittery part, and has altered the colours a bit.

Artful Times DT challenge piece -- Badge, button or brooch

The challenge this time on Artful Times is to make a badge, button or brooch that fastens with a pin. I decided to make a badge to wear on courses.
I started off with pelmet vilene, with some tyvek and scrim on. I painted it with Golden acrylic paints, and then embossed it with some embossing powder.
The name is small scrabble tiles. The three larger beads at the bottom are hand made with painted Tyvek. The smaller beads are all sewn on afterwards.
The scan doesn't show up the texture very well, as its bouncing off the embossing powder.

10th book of the sea page

I blogged this for Sunday postcard art, and have now put it on calico, and finished it off to go in my book.

Tag Along and Tag Tuesday -- Easter and eggs

The theme on Tag Along is Easter, and last weeks on Tag Tuesday was eggs. I have been away for eleven days looking after my three grandchildren, so hadn't blogged for either of these. I have inked the tag in pastel shades, used a die cut of a broken egg, and filled it full of different eggs. There is a air dry clay birds nest on the main egg. The nest is made up of torn strips of the dictionary definition of egg. The word egg is made from small scrabble tiles.

Sunday Postcard Art -- Lighthouses

I'm a bit late with this, but have been away looking after three grandchildren for eleven days. I am absolutely worn out.
For Sunday Postcard Art the subject is lighthouses. I decided to make a fabric one, as it can go in my book of the sea. I will blog it again when I have put it on a backing for the book, as I will add things to it.

Every Inchie Monday -- Hot

For the theme this week on Every Inchie Monday it is 'hot'
For the card one, I have used some very small pieces of  black, coal like rock, and painted some flames. I have used some yellow and red glitter stickles on top so they look more like flames. Unfortunately this does not show up on the scan.
For the sewn one I have made a hot dog, complete with a squirt of tomato sauce ( thread)
