birdcage album 1.

Here is the front and back cover,and a couple of the pages from a small album I have been making. Someone recently said on a forum that she disliked Tim Holtz stuffas it was dull and boring. huh? I am a huge fan of his and don't think it is either dull or boring. The bird and cage are from his sizzix die. Covered in 3D gloss and heavily glittered while wet. The silver edges are an on the edge die by yep, Tim Holtz. The flower and stem (above) are also his.

I seem to be making a lot of bear cards recently, for very different people in a variety of age groups.

textured tree canvas

Here is the latest picture made with a mix of filler and silicone. I did a quick watercolour background after I had smeared the mix on the canvas and left it overnight to dry, having first sprinkled itwith beads coloured with 2 shades of green alcohol inks.

I washed over the tree and bush areas with watercolours today and added morebeads using glossy accents to stick them down.

small canvas

I have been playing with a small canvas and glitter today.I made a mix of wall filler and silicone stirred in some glitter and tiny beads and smeared it onto the canvas.I left it to dry for a while, but areas were sticky from the silicone,so I sprinkled more glitter on those areas. I had die cut some foil food trays and coloured the cuts with alcohol inks and peel off pens.I glued these to the picture and added small gems for flower centres.the frame was a plain wood one painted with soft green acrylic over a base of white emulsion and gently distressed.
