GOOD NEWS AND ALTERED JIGSAWS

I'm very suprised and also pleased to say that i will be published in a forthcoming magazine next April.

I sent off 3 Marie Antoinette items to be considered, and 2 were actually chosen. I'm not sure if i'm supposed to say anything or not, but I am to be the Featured Spotlight in the one off publication "Marie" by Stampington & Co. I really won't believe it until i see it in print.

In the meantime, here are two more altered jigsaw pieces ready for the christmas tree.

For Carol
as part of the NI jigsaw jam swap


made for myself.

There are no more challenge/swaps over on my Flickr group MAMMA until early January, when i will also be starting up a new group MAD MAMMA, but i havn't yet revealed what this group is about. As soon as i tell my MAMMA group, i will let you all know lol.

in the meantime

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, AND A PROSPEROUS AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.

Another Christmas Bauble Decoration

Here's another Christmas Bauble i have made.

FRONT


BACK

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.
