I've just added my ATC entry for tomorrow's swap. The theme is "Through the Looking Glass, and I presume that means Alice in Wonderland related, but as I don't have any images to suit I have just interpreted it literally and made a mirror. Yeh! It's Vicky Stampers again tomorrow and I always have a great day. Partly because of catching up with the lovely crowd of crafty friends who attend, but we do some fab projects as well as nattering. Tomorrow is a "Stamping Up" guest tutor but I don't know the project... watch this space as I may make something to post.
I signed up for my first MOO swap not knowing just how tiny the pieces would have to be ....2.8cms x 7cms!! eeek! For messy, splodgy, me that is quite a challenge so I had to think about detail and composition on an entirely different scale.
I sponged the background with Distress Inks, made some squiggles with Conte pencils, then rubbed Distress Inks over small gauge sequin waste producing the spots. I stamped over with the Paperartsy stamp I received as a freebie for subscribing to Craft Stamper magazine and it came in perfectly for the theme of "Time". The clock faces were coated with Sepia Accents then, before it set, I dropped in some tiny watch parts, which my friend Dot had given me last birthday...... Thanks Dot, my angel, you are always there when I need you!! LOL!
The small format of a MOO scares me off a bit, but now that I see your result, I think I really should give it a try. Your MOOs are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely Jo - look really good fun. I've never mooed before, but I may start after seeing these! Thanks for popping by my blog x
ReplyDeleteJo they are fabulous, far better than my poor creations. I hope I get one of yours in the swap, x
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous!!! All your Moo`s are creative and beautiful. The backgrounds are so eye-catching and the colours perfect. Really great work.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo
ReplyDeleteI've just been having a catch up with your lovely posts.
Your photos of your trip are gorgeous and I'm glad you had a great time with your family. Special moments!
Your little creations are gorgeous. So much detail on something so small.
