Tweedledum & Tweedledee

For The Three Muses Pairs this week, finally I got to create again! Another in my series of Giant Jigsaw pieces… using an image from Ten Two Studios (Alice collage set), lots of layers of paint, my handcarved stamp and doodlings. It also fits with Theme Thursday’s Borders, edged in gold and black.

It’s been a [...]

Faces…

A couple of weeks ago I made this wacky jewellery set for The Seventh Wave Gallery to display to show some Day of the Dead artwork. I see that Theme Thursday’s challenge this week is “Faces” and would like to share them with you here as my entry/take on the theme:

It comprises a bracelet, a [...]

Risque little book!

When I saw that Nancy’s theme this week at Gothic Arches was to be “Risque”, I remembered the Faux Postage Nudes sheet I had from Ten Two Studios and thought they’d make a cute little Gothic Arches booklet. It did prove a bit tricky as I am full of a cold virus at the moment. It just [...]

Corned Beef Hash!

That’s what inspired this altered jigsaw piece for Wednesday Stamper’s theme – Key *Keys! All the tins of corned beef here (that I have bought), are opened with these keys… Shame to waste it, no?

Stamp: Cherry Pie Artstamps. The background is acrylic paint in shades of ochre and burnt umber, mixed with a little acrylic [...]

Alternative Cutlery!

Here are some altered cutlery pieces I’ve been working on for the Seventh Wave Gallery in Bude… they are pretty gruesome and more like small assemblages as they’re completely 3D. Three large spoons and two forks:

All the images are from Ten Two Studios – Zombie Faux Postage and Black & White sheets, as are the skull [...]

SaWo – Altered Cutlery

That’s the challenge today at Saturday’s Workout – Altered Cutlery. Here are a couple of large spoons that I have in the Seventh Wave Gallery in Bude… I still have some Zombie spoons to finish for the Halloween window, but like everything else, it takes time!
I love altering cutlery and probably the most complex part [...]

Rosetti vs. RoZetti

I’ve been a bit naughty and taken liberties with a beautiful microscope slide image (from Ten Two Studios) this evening – all in the name of altered art, The Three Muses (Zetti theme!) and my compulsion to make soldered slide pendants. Got to master the art of soldering, as my new, more powerful, tool arrived [...]

Where do I start?

I have so much to share… Okay, so it’s been a phenomenally busy week – you can tell because I haven’t blogged since Wednesday! I felt a great deal of pressure earlier this week because I’ve taken the huge step of opening my own “Studio” on ArtFire.com… yep, I have art for sale! If there’s [...]

Metal Marie….

Metal Marie…. for Mixed Media Monday’s “Metallics” theme. I keep hearing T Rex singing ‘Metal Guru’ though! I have had a thing for slide mailers recently and this is one I made with Ten Two Studios products and some good old ‘bling’!

And the rest of it:
I have found that the biggest problem with adding little [...]

“Death becomes her…”

Remember that film? I never watched it but as soon as I received these images from Lisa, I knew I wanted to create a double slide mailer with some of them! Mixed Media Monday’s challenge this week was set by Anni (Anni’s Fabric Art), who asked us to use something ’round’ in our artwork. She [...]
