Dead Men Tell No Tales

I am back with my assemblage creation for this month's challenge at Forever Dark.  Ike's Art is the sponsor of this anything goes challenge (must be dark) and I used an very interesting image called the Dentist. 

My image is colored with Copics and PanPasels.  I also added some diamond glaze, clock and sentiment to create my assemblage. The sentiment I created on the computer.  To complete this dentist scene I added a skull, tooth and some teeth.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us this week at Forever dark.   It is a great time for you to show us most of your scary Halloween creations.

Oriental Tag Swap

I made this tag  for a tag swap at Inky Fun tampers this month. The theme of the tag exchange was create something with a oriental theme.  I went through my unmounted rubber stamps and found some stamps that I made the tag with.  I have had these rubber stamps for a very long time (10 or more years) and no longer remember the company that made them. Anyone recognize the maker? 

I embossed my tag background and edged it with gold paint.  Then I added my stamped images on the the tag making a collage.  My images were stamped on both pattern paper and white paper that I coloured.   The butterflies were die cut and added to the collage. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

Autumn/Halloween Challenge at Patties Creations

I am excited to announce that I have recently joined Pattie's Creation's design team.  I love their great selection of digital images and look forward to creating with them.   I hope you will check out the challenge blog and Pattie's digital images in her Etsy store.

The theme of this month's challenge is Autumn/Halloween. 

To create my card coloured the image called  Witch Pattieboop Caldron, with my Copics and Panpastels.  I die cut the image , added a Halloween sentiment and then another die cut that I layered over the image. 

For the inside of the card I added another sentiment from my stash and some die cut bats.  The card is now just right for one of  the little girls in my family.

Bees Wax Dress with Tea Bag Background

This is my project for this month's Altered Eclectics challenge.  Altered Eclectics is always an anything goes challenge (mix media, recycle, upcycle,  altered art ....... but no cards or ATC.  It is a fun place to try something new. 

I thought this month I would try an encaustic board for my project.  My friend Yvonne gave me a handkerchief  that had a crochet lace trim that was made in to a dress.  I thought I would try incorporate it into my encaustic piece. I made lots of mistakes and took it a part several times. 

The background is sun bleached bees wax, several types tea bags, and Barbara Trombley's Elements, Earth Textures.  I added the tea bags to my board with bees wax and wrapped the sides also in tea bags.  I melted some of the earth textures also into the wax. I tried to tea dye the hankerchief and it came out this pinky colour but I did not like what it looked like with the bees wax. 

This is the dress before I started.

This the tea bag coloured handkerchief.   I thought it looked dirty with the tea bag wash.

Once I had gotten the colour out of the dress  I dipped the dress in bees wax and added the dress to the board.  I used a stylus to add several layers of dark blue wax to colour the bodice of the dress and the dotted trim. 

Before I decided to take my project a part. 

I thought that the dress looked too flat so I heated the dress body up and stuffed the dress with tissue paper dipped in the wax to give it body.   My next step was to added layers of brown and blue wax with a stylus in a striped format until the dress was covered with many layers of wax.  I had to wait several hours between each step so that the wax would set up.  

I dipped some fabric flowers in wax that the added to the lace and dress to tie in the colours I had used.   My final step was with my stylus add a blue trim around the edge of the board and buff the piece once it had some time to cure. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my misadventures in bees wax.  Come join us this month at Altered Eclectics. Try some thing new  You never know where it will take you.
