More altered bottles I created this past weekend.
I love making these!
I love making these!
I've also started making charms and included my Barbie hand holding the crystal ball. (sure wish I had one of these) I also used power tools and cut, drilled, and sanded some vintage rulers to make charms with them. I'll add some pics of those later. I stayed up until 2am last night making a new collage background by using all the scraps of papers that were laying all over my work table and the floor. I used gel medium to attach them to a piece of cardboard and then colored it with chalk paints, stamped, and then cut out shapes for use in ATC's, tags, future collages. A lot of the colors reminded me of Halloween so I will probably use a bunch of them to get some early Halloween pieces done.
Somehow amongst all of my art play, I managed to clean the house and do laundry since the temperature was below sweltering; but I hear that is going to change by tomorrow. We don't have central air in our house and only our bedroom and my artroom have window air conditioners so unfortunately (yeah, right!) I can only stay in the art room or bedroom on those days/nights when it is hotter than Hell outside. Guess I'll have to spend all my time at home this week in the art room. tee hee
Here are the pictures of my scrap background before and after adding color and stamping:
The only thing I forgot to do was to make a copy of the sheet before I cut into it. I have always thought that if I make one of these background sheets that I should make a copy so I can use it again in the future but that never seems to work out. I get so excited about the process that I always forget to make the copy first. Well, at least I really enjoy making these and if I don't copy them then I can say that they are truly one-of-a-kind.
Hope you have a good week!
