Yesterday and today there has been heavy fog here in Sydney. Here is a photo of my front yard yesterday at about 8.30am and one of a spiders web in the backyard. Beautiful.
Beautiful pics Margaret, they make Sydney look like the Blue Mountains! Thanks so much for coming by my blog on the Paper Haus hop yesterday, lovely to see so many people on my blog at one time!
WOW - was that the day the airport was in chaos? Lovely pics. We get a fog occasionally too - it is so pretty as the boats gradually emerge from the mist on the bay!
This week I created the following card for the ladies at my two community groups that I lead: I used AALL&Create Budgie stamp. The budgerigar stamp was on special and I think I have an idea why. Look at the budgie on the right - looks in need of a feed - so I when I gave it a feed using my black marker he looked well fed! I also used masking of the bird then applied paint 'dabbed on' and when dry a stencil with Black Soot Distress Ozide ink completes the card. Such a happy card. Thank you for looking. Margaret
It has been awhile since I last posted - where does time go? I recently developed and run an introduction to junk journals and embellishments. I donated part of the small cost to the Community group where I lead classes for their mission efforts. Here are some photos of what I prepared for the participants. The journal cover was constructed from one 12" x 12" (30cm x 30cm) folded into a smaller size. My sample shows cotton fabric I coloured with distress and alcohol inks. Students received tea dyed ribbon. Cover plate features cheesecloth and lace behind the main image - bird from a magazine. The journal on the right was completed by one of the participants in the workshop. We started with a simple tag seen on the bottom. Next was a simple to construct belly band. Clusters can also be made along the band and then cut off later for clusters to be used in the journal. I love the simplicity of these bands that are great for decorating book pages. Next onto collaged belly
