Another Christmas Bauble Decoration

Here's another Christmas Bauble i have made.

To make this bauble, i cut two pieces of the bauble shape out of acetate. Because i don't have any blending solution for alcohol inks, i improvised with white spirit, the only thing i have to hand.

So, i wiped the acetate over with the white spirit, and dripped 3 different coloured alcohol inks on to it, and just let it spread.
I left it to dry, and then spray mounted the two pieces together with a piece of white paper sandwiched between. This shows the colours up much better.

I then added stickers, and overthetop braiding. along with a plastic and a cardboard flower.

I really like this one, and may decide to keep it, if i don't have any time or energy to make more.

June here at bootifulstampz is being very generous and giving one stamp away a day for the rest of November.
June is also doing an altered jigsaw contest too, so be sure to visit.

Thanksgiving

Here in the UK we do not celebrate Thanksgiving, but for me it has definitely been a week for me to give thanks.
My thanks go to my friends, who have been so supportive of me throughout this illness, and especially to my friend Jan, who came to visit me. This was the first time of meeting her, even though we've known each other for nearly two years.
And Yes, she is just as lovely and special as I knew she'd be. Wow, what a lady. We exchanged gifts and even though it was just a short meeting, we still managed to talk crafts lol. We hope to meet up next year sometime. fingers crossed.

One good thing, is that i'm able to keep up my artwork,otherwise i think i would be seriously depressed.

I've set up an offshoot group to MAMMA over on Flickr, this time as a group devoted to Christmas Bauble Decoration swaps.

Here are my contributions so far, but you should go on over to see the beautiful entries that my dear friends have made.
