CC103

I decided to watch all of Creative Chemistry 103 before attempting anything.
Today was my first play time with one of the techniques.......
Even jeff got in the act!

 

 

Now I will add the stamping and create some amazing landscapes!

 



bursts

some days are filled with creativity, others have some bursts.  This week has been one filled with little bursts so I cleaned my workspace and tried to finish some things during those bursts of energy.

ribbon roses are really quite easy to make, quick, too.  I imagine these becoming a page in a fabric book that has been spinning in my mind for a long time.  The blue ink will disappear with water - I really like these marking pens.

this is another cabinet card journal  cover - I'm not too happy with it yet but the dies are helping....

another felt brooch put together, now it needs the pin back.

a sewn journal but I used grunge paper instead of grunge board so it isn't as sturdy as I had hoped.  I do really like the cover, though......

today I may add some stems to the ribbon flowers, and play with the pop up ideas from last week.

And on a final fun note......we ran into this guy last night on "free first Thursday at the Art Museum....a local hero/villain.....

wip

remember this........

 

a work in progress - added some button embellishments and finally put her in permanently.
still have some ideas for the inside but I am keeping it to a minimum - don't want to take away from the beautiful cover and window........

and these are part of the Sketches 2016 class offering.  I may have a kit or two if you are interested.
Leave a comment below or email me (you can also find me on facebook) for more information.

Back to the work table for me!
