All Creatures Great and Small

Yay the sun is out this Friday morning and it is time for Team B to inspire you at the Delicious Doodles challenge. this weeks theme is All Creatures Great and Small. I chose a larger creature from Teri's awesome collection of animal images. this image is Tiger. 

I printed off my image large enough to sit nicely on an A5 card. I painted with distress inks. I then embossed a pie e of white card with a leaf stencil. I painted some of the leaves. I mounted onto card and added a sentiment.

Challenges I am entering are:

leather and Beads

Hi I am excited to share my bracelet with you for the Beading Friends Forever Challenge tutorial. the tutorial is In the Garden Wrap Bracelet. it says it takes 6-8 hours but I did mine in about  2-3 Hours. 

I used brown leather a button from my stash three colours of s-lon  some bronze miyuki cube beads and som 8/0 seed beads. I slightly altered the Bollywood style macramé by using less seed beads than the tutorial.

 

 

 

Macramé new technique for me

Hello the sun is fairly reluctant to committ to staying out in London today. I decided to try Macramé this afternoon. OMG love this technique it is very relaxing and great effects can be made. This is a simple bracelet for the multistrand component of the Beading Friends Forever challenge. 

I used blue leather cord, white S-lon , 6/0 and 8/0 seed beads from my stash and the button from my stash. I do not have a thread zapper yet so I used a lighter. I am waiting for a few supplies from the sponsor Beads Direct so I can do the tutorial part of the challenge. 

 

Beading Friends Forever Challenge

Hello where did that sunshine disappear too. We had a trip to The British Museum today to see Mummy's and Roman Coins. There is so much inspiration in there. I exchanged some club card vouchers so we popped into ASK by Tower Bridge on the way home Yummy!

So today sees a new challenge at Beading Friends Forever. I love this jewellery challenge. this quick but very elegant necklace has been made for the multistrand part of the challenge. I have just ordered some leather and s-lon for the tutorial part of the challenge so I will share at a later date with you all. I ordered from the sponsors Beads Direct who are a great company for all your beading needs.

This necklace was made using some beads from Beaders Companion that I have had in my stash for ages. I also used some Tibetan beads from my stash. I used two lengths of Beadalon, two crimps and a toggle clasp. I simply strung the beads and attached to toggle with the clasp. When on the neck this sits at two levels and looks really elegant.

Lace

Hello just quickly stopping in to show you my creation for the Delicious Doodles Challenge this week. I am running late so it will be very quick.
I used the awesome Leather and Lace and Celtic Frame from the store for this creation. I created a background using my gelli plate and acrylic paints and I used a piece of lace and some masks to create some texture in the background. I coloured my image with alcohol pens and then I went over the jacket with some crackle glaze to create a leather look. I did this with the gloves too. I added some lace around the border of the Celtic Frame for added texture. I mounted onto orange card added some eyelets and put onto a white scalloped card.

Thanks for stopping by today I really appreciate your time and comments. I hope you are inspired too. Hugs Pascale

Something for the boys

Hi hope everyone is getting some spring sunshine as we are in London. I am just sharing with you a project I have made for the Delicious Doodles Challenge this week our challenge is to create " Something for the Boys". I have made this wall hanging for a Father Day gift for my Dad.

 

 

I used my gelli plate with some masks to create the background.  I chose some photos of me with my Dad and older sister and one of Dad. I modgepodged to the canvas. I then used a technique with Modge Podge to transfer the Vintage Norton bike and Vintage car to the Canvas so it looks like a stamped image. I added some distress ink with stencils and attached the three canvases together
