...I have been at it again with the metal LOL I started this piece about three weeks ago...and had got as far as making the golden diamond background with the controlled squish (devised by Lin from LB Crafts) and had the Maya Road chip already to attach it to...and...
then...dis-ahster *said in the stylee of Craig Revel Horwood from Strictly ROFL*...I had a hurricane in my Room of Stash! Tis true...it swept thru the room, moving stuff about, hiding other stuff and generally making it really untidy. *mmm, wonders if anyone will believe that!!! *
So, I got busy with some more Ten Seconds Studio's metal, this time Barn Red colour, and made a rose - yep, another one, but I do love making the metal roses...so much easier than Grungepaper ones too.
This was then added to a Grungepaper flower...which had been coloured with Wild Honey and added in a couple of leaves...coloured with Crushed Olive and overstamped...BTW, all the stamps are by Wendy Vecchi and her Studio 490 range :O))
The red heart is made from Grungepaper...then it has a rusty metal heart attached with teensy brads, a little flower coloured with Wild Honey and then a Idea-ology Spinner. I also added some Idea-ology Foliage to the piece just to add some balance, it looked a bit bare without it.
The phrase has to be my very very fave stamp ever in the whole wide world...it is also a Studio 490 stamp...and it is part of the lyric from the Beatles song The End...Side B Abbey Road *yep, I am a saddo too LOL* This was stamped onto metal, scribbled on, aged with black paint, popped into a Memory Frame and then I poured clear UTEE into the frame...it gives a really cool raised domey look...the pic of it doesn't make it look too clever, but in the real it looks fab.
Thanks to everyone asking after AlfieCat...well, update is...the thingy that I found when he was icky was a roundworm *bleurgh* Goodness knows where he got that from, he is a housecat so doesn't go out...but did escape a couple of weeks ago and the vet said maybe he picked up an egg on his paw and then licked it...so that has been dealt with...but... Poor little fella has got a bad tooth on one side of his mouth and gingivitis on the other side...so he has had a big zap of biotics...which should clear the infection and next Weds he has to go in for an op to sort out the teeth...I am having major guilt trips, I am a baaaad Mummy...and bless him, I have been trying to get him to eat today...so far he has had poached cod in milk and a can of tuna...the can of tuna went down a treat..he has kept all of it down too...so I am praying he is on the mend and once his teeth are sorted he will be 100% again...blimey, our little fur babies do cause us concern don't they??? Thanks again everyone....have a goodly day x

Fab, fab, fab piece of artwork once again Hels. I bought that mould (or is it mold) after seeing you use it once before and I did a piece of metal for my son's birthday card that's almost the same as yours here except mine was blue. His birthday was yesterday so I'll be blogging his card later this week.
There ya go! It was inspiration on your blog that I used on his card, so Ta muchly.

Another beauty GF, no not you...the rose silly! Really, metal roses are easier than grunge? This is a beautiful piece, love all the bits and pieces, feel so bad about your room gettin' all mussed up by some strange winds, poor Hels...glad Kittie is on the mend! huggerz
Look at how awesome you are! Just look! That is gorgeous.
I'm so glad AlfieCat has something easily treatable! Getting those teeth taken care of will make a world of difference, and he'll be better than ever!
Hugs,
Linda

Luv, luv, luv this. xx
Oh I'm so glad Alfie will be okay! I felt terrible for not mentioning him yesterday but I got all caught up in your project. Your metal work has been inspiring me so much that I bought MORE stuff at the Expo last Friday in hopes to try something SOON! Since I haven't even tried a grunge rose, the ease of metal remains to be seen, but I LOVE THEM!!!! Gorgeous work as ALWAYS! xxD
just perfection Hels and nice to see Wendy left you a comment xx
I don't know what to say, just keep using the same adjectives to describe your art - wonderful, gorgeous, beautiful etc etc and sometimes the words seem inadequate. It's stupendous, splendid, spectacular :)
Anne xx
Meant to say, glad Alfie's on the mend ;)
