Twinchies..

One of 3 twinchies I am going to enter at Show us your Twinchies Challenge Blog..the theme is 'Anything Goes '.

A chance remark made me think that I should describe what has gone into these twinchies...so here goes !

The base is mountboard covered with some pretty washi paper, the edges are embossed with copper embossing powder. The photo which has been torn round the edges is I think from Darkroom Door (not certain!) has been covered in clear utee and cracked. There are micro beads down the one side of it and some gems to finish.

One of 3 twinches I am going to enter in the challenge at http://twinchie-twinchiehotmaillive.blogspot.co.uk/   The theme is 'Anything Goes '.

This base on this is mountboard, inked with frayed burlap distress ink & stamped with Indigo Blu cogs from 'Take the Time' set and embossed in gold. The nelliephant I made from utee in a little mould salvaged from a childs play set! The cog is an old watch part.

Tag

http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.co.uk/

A little tag , just for fun.....Inked with Brilliance inks, stamped with script in white, then leaf in white & lavender, overstamped with the word 'imagine' (heidi swapp). A few embellies & there we are !

I have entered this tag in the Simon SaysStamp and Show Challenge - Depth of Distress

A little mixed media/altered thingy !....

This started life as a thimble shelf , bought from a charity shop. It is roughly 8" high and 5.5" wide. I painted firstly with matt white emulsion, then covered that with white tissue paper which had been stamped with script in black. Added various inks in lavender and dusky pink followed by the trinkets and embellishments .

I am going to enter this in the challenge over on Vintage Artisans..the theme is vintage shabby chic.

The latest encaustic wax paintings.........

Scapbooking with encaustic wax...

I have been experimenting with scrapbook pages and encaustic wax....not sure about it tho' ! What do you think folks?

Scrapbooking today...this page is of  my sister Jill, my Mum and me !

Ben (grandson) and daughter Emma on Bens 13th birthday.

2 posts in one day! I have called this one 'asters', the background is done with the iron , the flower centres 'blown' and the petals with a brush. There is quite a bit of gold in this pic  but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.

Todays encaustic wax offering is called 'Delphiniums', the wax is applied then blown with a heatgun then detail added with a stylus.
