Elements 2 Fabrics


Elements Background Fabric Sample
This is one of the fabric background samples I have created for Elements 2, the final pieces will look very different its a bit like making background papers. Once they are layered, panelled worked on some more...........yummm!




More Fabric Samples
Now you can see one of the reasons my blog has been slow! These are just some of the background fabrics I have been working on to help with colour, stamp and stencil choice. We are using Stampendous jumbo rubber stamps they were an answer to my prayers, beautiful big designs! Stuart Gill new stencils and paints. More stamps etc.



Earth Spirit
Just a tryout using but she looks good I think. Stamp designed by Carrie-Ann Dennison; Carrie is a rubber carver and Glenda Waterworth (old Elusive Images.....new Chocolate Baroque) made up some of her designs in moulded rubber. I really love this one. This is stamped onto cotton fabric and burnt out with a pyrography tool............ok to do if you don't mind the smell and smoke!



Bye for now, take care:-)

Altered Buttons

Counting and packing buttons can be tedious so I stopped to have a play. The buttons in the centre are the originals. I have coloured the others with stazon you could use any solvent ink, alcohol inks, pens etc.



 Some buttons are made up with separate pieces that come apart, just great for altering. These have three pieces, the smallest centre I have coloured with Stazon, the second piece I have coloured with a krylon pen the original colour was red or brown but I think they look like foreign coins when gold, last but not least is the photo frame actually a stamped Paper Artsy image with a clear glaze.


Bye for now, take care:-)
