It's only me!!!!

Hello peeps. I have been told off by three/four peeps for not blogging. Well here I am. I have been a busy bee.

First of all I made a little canvas thingy for a friend at my sign language class. Here is the metal rose. I just lurve this rose. I can't stop making them !!!! This one was done with silver metal and royal purple stazon ink.
I also did a bird cage. I like making this too. Again it's royal purple stazon with mother of pearl viva precious metal paint, kaiser antique white and dusky pink paint (all this done on the reverse)
Here is the finish article. The canvas was painted with dusky rose paint and stamped with a paperartsy swirl (loving this stamp at the moment) with stazon (royal purple). The middle is a piece of grey board covered with communal garden tin foil, glued on to the grey board and then put through the cuttlebug and dabbed with various colours of stazon - a la Sue Roddis. The edge of the canvas has viva precious metal paint in silver red and blackberry.
There yer go !
As I said I have been creating like a looney just lately so tomorrow I will post another project!
thanks for stopping by.
Love Burnice x

Sue Roddis Workshop

Went to a "canvas/metal" workshop on Saturday at the craft barn. It was run by the wonderful Sue Roddis. Had a fab time. Here is my effort:

The is the tree. The leaves are metal cut with a heart shaped punch. I then veined them and used a TSS whell round the edges. They were then "painted" with various colours of stazon inks.

The is the sun. It is cut from pages of an old book (well I think it was old!) and coloured with yellow ink with a bit of orange. The "rays" are sentences cut from the same book.

These are the house on my canvas. They are paperartsy houses coloured with distress inks. The roofs have been restamped and raised with foam pads. The rainbow peeping from the back is also a paperartsy stamp.


This is the finished article. Distress inks were used on the canvas and the "grass" is a piece of card which has been painted with gesso and before it dried the end of the paintbrush was "scratched" into it to give the effect of grass !! I then rubbed it with various distress inks.

HOW COOL IS THIS !!!

Of course when the class finished (it was an all day one) HAD to go shopping and I bought some more copics. Box C. think I will have to put Box D on my christmas list !!!! Wonder what my chances are!

Well it's getting on so best get on with me knitting!
