Gone For 2 Weeks

I am going to North Carolina today and stay for 2 weeks. I am very excited about getting to spend the Holidays with my family.....but I will miss my hubby, he has to stay home to take care of his 91 year old Mother.....

I hope everyone in Blog Land will have a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Small Ornament Swap

These are the ornaments that I made for the swap!

On the altered_stArt yahoo group, we did a small ornament swap, make 4 and get 4 in return.....These are the ones I made for the swap using bamboo tiles, alcohol inks, stamps, embossing, wire...I like how they turned out....
These are the ones I got in return, I love all of them and think everyone did a wonderful job on them.....Aren't they the prettiest things?

Click on the pictures to see all the detail work.....and clicking on the title with take you to the yahoo group...

Pen Resist Techinque

This is my try at the Pen Resist techinque...We are doing this at Altered_stART yahoo group......Techinque Tuesdays and we have 2 weeks to give it a try....

I used watercolor paper and Krylon Gold leaf pen on 2 of the cards and a silver calligraphy pen on the others...then you are suppose to use liquid watercolors, but I don't have any so I used my Twinkling H2O's and juiced them up good by spraying water on them......after that drys then you are to stamp in black acrylic paint, but I used Staz-On ink pad...the top right one, I didn't stamp cause I liked how it had a stained glass effect.....The silver pen seemed to resist much better than the gold leafing pen....It was fun and now I have some backgrounds....

Edited:....This techinque is from the book, Artist Trading Cards Workshop by Bernie Berlin........page 18......you can find the book at Amazon........
