in the brownies.

The photo was taken in 1989, or thereabouts. I used the once upon a time paper for the fairy connection. The nestie gears were to pretty to grunge every time, and I thought they would suit a bit of glitz.

cards, A5 size.

These are a couple of cards done with my waxes. The pink one has had some details scratched into the wax with a stylus.

encaustics

I had a bit of fun with my encaustics today. 2 normal pics and then I had a go at stamping an image then waxing over it. The key stamp was cut from a Tim Holtz die using funky foam and mounted onto rigid plastic with glossy accents. Same for the keyhole stamp. Tim Holrz says he does it with all his dies and I do too now.

last page

This is the final LO in the album for Alex. Taken earlier this week, just after his 13th birthday.

Now I am looking for a nice album to record his teeage years.

This candy is part of the offering coming up soon on thttp://herecometheboysblogchallenge.blogspot.com/his site

encaustic atcs

I had a play with my encaustic iron yesterday. I did some 5x7s but I think I do better work in this smaller size. Somehow I can get a better detail in the atc size.

8x8 album

These are the newest pages in the album for my grandson. Only one page to go and I am trying to get a current pic for it, preferably one where he is not wearing a Liverpool shirt, lol. The Tattered flowers were cut from scrap fabric and a piece of lace. I cut a few fabric flowers today, so will be adding them to cards and other LOs soon. The Tim Holtz gears in the other LO were inked and embossed with various powders. I also did a couple of old washers and attached them with metal brads, some Tim Holtz, some from stash.

Teenager,( sigh!)

My grandson will be 13 on the 11th. How time flies! seems no time since he was a small boy as seen in my LOs. This is the card I have made for him.
