Next I have my tag for this weeks prompt of 'Metal', over at the Tag Tuesday blog. I didn't have any clue what I was going to do and then after seeing the superb examples on the blog, I was even more mystified! And then, I remembered I had some left-over bits of a tomato puree tube hidden somewhere in my stash, so I dug it out and pondered a bit more on how I was going to make it tag shaped. ((Light bulb!)) I used my Artful Dwellings die in my bigshot! Yay, me! Sorry ~ anyway ~ I then used an embossing folder to add some texture. After that I dripped on my two alcohol inks, blue & yellow, (tried to make green but it didn't mix very well), and once that was dry I added some more colour with alcohol markers. Finally, I added colour to a ring pull which I fastened on with a coloured brad.
My final share for today is what my wee boy called a 'detailed drawing'. Something they are working on at school, as he generally does not like to draw. He was so delighted with it, and do you know, he even went outside to check on the colour of some of the plants to see what shade he should use?! And he even used a terracotta shade for the roof tiles. I was so impressed, I thought I would show it to you here.
He has called it, 'Granny in the Garden'. I Love it Love it Love it! <3 It now 'lives' in my bedroom on the wall. Of course.
Well, until next time.........
.........thanks so much for popping by to say 'Hi' *hugs*
