I seem to be on a roll at the

moment .. these are the next

several month's pages for

the UKS sg "page at a time"

cj! She's Vintage sewing/ladies

... mine is 1950s; Irboo's Flora

and Fauna; KJJC's

Fun at the Beach; and

Dorothy Anne's Ladies and

Lace. They are all

digi .. but hopefully still

convey the sense of the

theme.

This is my screen for Leanie .. can
you guess its Carnivale?? She would
really have liked a 4' one, but I didn't have
a big enough box!
The colours are as near to duck egg
blue, cream and brown as I could find ..
I hope she likes it.

This is my page for Flo's "Wildstyle Graffiti" cj. She is a
follower of The Canucks ... so that's what I "wrote" on the wall.
I added their killer whale emblem and used their colours.
I hope its OK.

These are the next two
in the "send a page at a time"
cj. Honeypip's " The Fae",
and Shirley June's "Inspired by ..."
I hope they both like them.

This is t'other matchbox shrine ..
for Chupachup2009 ... who likes "aqua and purple".
I couldn't get aqua = water out of my brain, hence the
underwater theme! The outside is a digi paper which
reminded me of coral, with a fish inserted; the
background inside is metallic paper, small shells in
appropriate colours coated in glossy accents and the fish
cut out and glued in. A tassell of shels completed the
outside.

This is my version for the "screen" swap on UKS.
Its for Creative Moments. Made with printed digi paper,
distress ink backgrounds and die cut flowers
shaped into roses. The leaves are die cut too with
twisted paper stems.

Second lot of "stamp" swaps .. this one is the
"castle/houses" stamp. Again its hybrid .. I
stamped it then scanned that, added the
digi background and printed those; then I hand coloured
them with watercolour pencils and Lumiere paints and
completed them by re-stamping over the top to
give more definition. Lets hope my fellow swappees
like the result.

This is my matchbox shrine for Hotluca

who wanted "dark, mysterious and out there" !!

The tree come from the door of a castle, the "lady" inside is Morrigan, Irish goddess of War, and the tassell and beaded lace was once

part of a risque ladies costume for a roller skating act in the 1920s.

I wonder if that is mysterious enough??

This is my own page for a "one at a time page" cj ... you
just send the page, not the whole cj. My theme is
"East is ....." and I thought anything Indian, Chinese or Japanese
would fit the bill nicely. This is Mumtaz Mahal ... for whom the
Taj Mahal was built.

This is my attempt at a four drawer secrets box/book
for Voodoo Vixen, Annette ... themed on Time.
The fastener is based on Dali's warped clock, and
the first drawer contains my version of his jewelled
Eye of Time. There's a pendant which is based on a
clock face lens .. made from ring earring findings and
some printed acetate!! ..a little tag book and some
key charms. It's nowhere near Annettes standard, but I hope she likes it.

This is my "Secrets" box-book for dorothyanne,


Venice. I hope I have give Anne a sample of the city and she likes the bits I chose for the drawers.

There aren't very many (being a digi scrapper, I don't have much stash) but I did make them all so that might count for something!



This is my "Secrets" box-book for kellmorris ..Life, the Universe and Everything !! Does give me some scope, doesn't it! So, some words on life, Hubble's view of the universe - or at least a very tiny slice of it, a layout for cricket and a view of the fjords .... hopefully there is something in there Jackie will like.

This is my Chunky ATC for the swap on UKS.
The theme is Gothic(y) ... and as I wasn't sure
if that meant "Gothic" as in black leather and dog collars
or Castles, knights and Damsels in distress, I put a bit of
both in it!! I hope my swappee likes it.

OK .. second page ... prompt = packaging.



Don't have much, most of seems to be mainly green!!



Reminded me of my favourite perfume which has



green and white stripes.

I find it very hard to be "free" enough to do an Art Journal ...
but UKS have started one where you can learn as you go ...
and you can do it digi!!

So this is my first page .. entirely digi .. the face is just a piccy I liked that I have voided, blended and generally mucked about!!!

I hope its on the right track .. it is a start!

This is my version of "Stripey Jumper" .. for Lou's
pages in the Artistic License cj. The colours in the trees are skeleton leaves, the trees themselves cut out and coloured with soluble was pastels and the people card and papers embellished with metallic pens. A few swirly, circly bits and that's it!

Thursday, November 03, 2011

These are my versions of the "face" stamp. They are hybrid .. I stamped the image, scanned it and made the backgrounds, faces and eye colour, then printed them out. The hair and frames are done with metallic and pearlised paint. I hope they are OK.
