The Three Graces- Metallic Art Dolls

Hello!
I looks like I'm on a bit of an Art Doll frenzy at the moment!
Today marks my first DT project for WOW Embossing Powder, and is live over on the blog now!
This months theme is 'Metal', and I went a little bonkers, couldn't decide which metal to choose. I made three art dolls, my 'three graces'!
Here is a little peek at the detail on one doll...

I would love it if you went over and took a look at the other two, let me know what you think!!
Have a lovely day,

WOW- Exciting news!!

Hello!
Hope everyone is enjoying this little spot of sunshine we appear to be having!
I have exciting news to share - The new Design Team for WOW embossing powder has been announced...and I'm on it! Yay!!
I'm very pleased and excited, I have been using embossing powder for years and years in a multitude of ways, and I can't wait to share some more ideas with you all! My first 'official' DT post will be next week, but until then I will share a few embossing powder creations!

A triple embossed plaque using the intaglio technique. I used a mould with powder for the heart!

Lastly, a fabulous technique covered in a Craft Stamper blog challenge a while back-'painting' with embossing powder. All colours used are powders, with stencilling using powders done on top....

Hope to see you next week over on the WOW blog where I'll be sharing my 'metal' themed creation!

Recapture: Craft Stamper Blog Challenge!

Hello!
The Craft Stamper Blog Challenge this month is all about Bottles.....stamped bottles, bottle tags, altered bottles, you name it! The inspiration post is now live over on the CS blog, the DT have made some fab projects for you to look at, and hopefully be inspired by. There are some great prizes to be won, so why not hop over and have a look at the details!
My contribution is this......

(It's a flipping nightmare taking a picture of glass when the light bounces off it!!)
My bottle has a captured fairy, looking out through the glass just waiting to be released.....

The bottle is standing on a giant bottle cap that I have coloured with alcohol ink, supporting the wispy fronds of book pages and frosted film...

The bottle cap is on a spool, decorated with more book pages, wire, cord and a punched out heart...

The top of the bottle has been decorated in a similar fashion....

I must say though...the bottle has no lid, so he can fly away any time he wishes.....!

Hope to see some of your creations in the challenge, can't wait!!

Feet!!!

Hello!
As you know, Calico Crafts have recently released their own range of wood and MDF shapes, called Calico Craft Parts. Part of that range are a stunning selection of corners, wonderfully detailed and in a range of sizes. I've gone a little 'off piste' with the corners today.....I've turned them into feet!!!

To see some more pics, and get a detailed run down on how I made this box, please head on over to the Calico Crafts blog!
Have a great day,

Vibrant Blooms

Hello!
I've managed to fit in just a *tiny* bit of crafting time this week....so many meetings and whatnot, don't know whether I'm coming or going!
My DT project this week for A Sprinkle Of Imagination has a few bright blooms on it....

I think the quote is just wishful thinking on my part though!!!
To see the whole thing, please hop on over to the ASOI creative team blog..
Have a fab day!
