Mixed Media play

Whilst web surfing I came across a Life Book 2023 free taster session.  Tutors for 2023 are participating in free taster lessons for a short period of time.   The 4th video was with Kit Dellow called everyday inspiration.  I thought interesting - so I gave it a go and here is what I came up with

Sketch everyday items - this one was a waffle tea towel - see photo below.  First sketch, then play with the sketch.  I did then use a Posca white marker and applied to a previously paper that I created with a National Geographic (NG) magazine page and degreaser fluid (from Bunning's here in Australia).  I love this one.
This sketch was the bottom of a jar of Paw Paw cream - when I turned the jar upside down I was surprised at the design.  Again, a page from NG created previously.  Also, looked liked buttons!!
This sketch is the spine of the sketch book I was using.  Another NG creation and when I was using the Posca pen ink spurted out from bottom - go with it Margaret, so I folded the paper in half and got interesting almost ghostly image as a result.
I decided to play with several of the pieces I created.  The one on the right is made up of strips of the NG magazine - I loved the result rather ghostly again.
And finally, I could not let this go without showing the everyday inspiration I used.  It was a technique that I will be using again. I will be looking more closely at everyday items in the future. I have given thanks to Kim on Life Book 2023 Taster facebook page. 
Thank you for looking,  Margaret

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Time stands still

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
