Thank you all again....from a very very very HAPPY Hels xx**
**EDIT - WOW!!!! Thank you everyone for your amazing comments...what a lovely lovely bunch of people you all are...you have made my day! And...because I have had so many lovely comments I have decided that I will spend the evening in my Room Of Stash...and make something else for a giveaway too :O)) Please check back tomorrow to see what it is I have made...not too sure what it will be myself yet...but I will try to make something special....so...that means...more comments = more giveaways...and more giveaways means more winners...which means...more friends made....RESULT!!!! Thank you to Lisa, who is a total inspiration and what a star she is for starting this amazing blog hop, the idea is fabulous...I will be taking my Magic Carpet ticket with me this evening when I whizz off around the globe to visit everyone participating...THANK YOU ALL again ... Hels xx**
I haven't joined in with this before so this is all new and exciting for me :O)) If you click HERE you will be transported to the event organisers blog with all the details on how to join in ...
I have ummed and awwwed about what to make as my giveaway... I wanted to make something that was a bit special...and a bit useful too...so I thought I would make a note book using the Bind It All...as you can see, I got ever so slightly distracted...and ended up making a hangy piece which is a sampler of three of my fave techniques LOL
The base is an 8" square canvas board, painted with Traditional Tan and then spots of Terra added, spots of Ferro added and then gold Precious Metal paint and black paint added to tone and co-ordinate the colours.
Three of the tiles are made using either Terra or Ferro, stamped into and then heated up...the Terra is my total fave, it goes bubbly with the heat and you get such a cool impression...I painted the Terra Trad Tan to match and then went over that with more gold and then black to tone down again. This little tile had a mini glass bottle added to it just to finish it off.
The tiles that I used Ferro on are just layered with it, then stamped into with a crackle stamp and a sequin waste stamp, dried off and then painted to blend in as with the others. I love the really rough texture of this stuff...and it is so forgiving too...I mucked up the first tiles stamping, so I damped the Ferro and re-stamped...and it worked!
Three tiles were made using Ten Seconds Studios metals and texture moulds...this one inparticular is from a Kabuka mould, I just missed out the odd squares so I got a less uniform look...and painted the metal with black to antique and then gold for more blending. The little handle is just for decoration.
This tile was made again using a Kabuka mould and Barn Red metal...which was then painted black to age, gold to blend and then a bit more black for more aging. The little keyhole goes with the key at the top of the sampler...and the pattern is a heart...for the One World One Heart :O))
The final three tiles were made by painting the bases Trad Tan, then using a really old Timber Brown StaZon that is really dried out...I stamped the images (Crafty Individuals) straight onto the painted tile...and because the ink was dryish the image isn't too in your face...I then popped some plain tissue paper over the top and painted on beeswax to secure it..and then added a cute birdy to each tile...more beeswax to secure these and swiped the black paint and gold paint around the edges so these blended in too. To finish, I added some micro beads using superglue...and the odd golden pearl too.
I decided to make a rose for the top LHS tile...but it looked off balance...so I pinched Tim's idea of using a couple of the flowers from the Foliage Idea-ology and made the rose this way...much more balanced and blended in heaps better.
The little butterfly that is resting on one of the Ferro tiles was made using a technique that I learnt from Jennie...basically, this is soooooo cool....pop a few colours of UTEE into a melt pot and let it all melt...don't swoosh it about... pick up the melt pot and dribble the molten UTEE onto a craft sheet and do a curling motion so the colours mix a bit...then bung a cookie cutter into the UTEE while it is still melted...and leave to set...WOW, I was chuffed with the results...in the flesh it looks even more amazing too :O))
That is all from me about the project....if I get chance I hope to make something else as a giveaway too...if you are joining in with the One World One Heart have fun...I think it is a FAB idea...and ... thanks for looking!
