...you know I said that I was going to faff with some Ten Seconds Studio metal yesterday afternoon, whilst being incredibly quiet so as not to wake Grim?? Well, this morning I have finished off one of the pieces of metal I had "moulded"... adding on some Studio 490 stamps, Grungepaper, Grungeboard and some Idea-ology...
The mould I used is actually the reverse sideo of a Kabuka Mold which is all squares but I have just chosen random ones to mould so I got a patchy effect. The metal is Plum and I have added black paint to age it and then some Pool Alcohol Ink to lighten it up a bit.
The flowers are made with 490 stamps... they look fab with metal don't they? And the heart??? Another 490 stamp... as well as the ART in the Idea-ology Book Plate... that had the alcohol ink treatment too :O)) The strip up the centre of the base was made with some gold metal and a couple of ball and cup tools, making faux rivets...And finally, the centre of the flower is a little Maya Road Bingo counter... I know, they are soooo sweet aren't they?
Thanks for looking... I am off to creep about on tippytoes again cos Grim is just off to bed... Alfie did indeedily turn into a Guard Cat last night... I was stoooopid enough to sit and watch a film on BBC1 that was a bit of a thriller... about a woman (Susan Sarandon) who has some stranger creeping about her house...mmm, not a good film to watch when you are alone... so Alfie the Guard Cat came and sat with me...on my feet actually, kept them toasty and helped me to eat a packet of Cheesy Wotsits...they are his fave crisps BTW, but he does look funny when a Wotsit sticks to his fangs...anyway...when Grim got home this morning, apparently GuardCat was sitting at the top of the stairs... keeping...erm...guard... of his Mummy ROFL TTFN... have a great day!

Beautiful Hels! Not familiar with these products so will have to check them out.
Hope you enjoyed the movie and had sweet dreams :)
WOW this is totally fabulous and I love the heart and those deep but bright colours!!
Wow Hels I´ve missing my words.
Your work is the greatest. I love them all. This is again a WOW !!!
This is really wonderful--love the colors. WOW
This is really beautiful. I love how it all turned out. I have never worked with metal before.
U are sooo cool! ;)
Just incredible Hels!! In keeping with the thrillers you seem to have on your mind... I would like to suck your creativity right into my brain (say it with a Transylvanian accent please) Guess it's a pretty gross thing to say but hey you are the thriller lover!! The only thriller movie I like is Michael Jackson's video!! Anyway, I LOVE it!
Yummy metal pieces, love the heart, but everyone knows I love hearts, and the flower does look good in metal. Just lovely. My pug pup eats hoola hoops and rolls them around her tongue, so cute. Have a good day Hels. I'm off to do Comp of Curiosities challenge now. Something simple me thinks. Tracy x
Hels, this is just stunning! I can't take my eyes off the beautiful colors and Wendy's stamps look fantastic. I have never used metal but will have to look for tutorials teaching this technique. So glad I found your blog and can follow you daily. Marijane
You always get such fab colour on your metal. Yummy!!
This is really lovely. I like the richness of the colour on the metal and I just got to have those stamps. Been admiring them for ages so when I get home from my hols, I'm going to buy them. Keep your eyes closed whilst the film is on then you won't get scared!!
Luv Joanne xx
Ok this piece is to die for! I love the colors you used and everything about it. I think we need to pool some money together and import you to teach us some classes! Well done. Metal and Wendy stamps. Lovely!!!
Stunner of a piece, Hels! Just LURVE the metal flowers, fab, aren't they?! Great job on the colors for the background, nice and lush!
Oh what a lot of lusciouness you have been creating - and I taped the film you watched - didn't fancy nightmares!
