Morning Stampers! Phew... what a scorcher of a week we have had here in England.. I would have said the UK but... apparently my pal in Scotland has told me it is lovely and cool up there... I put a thermometer in my Room of Stash yesterday afternoon... it got to 38 degrees!!! Am going to have a little beg at Grim and get him to put the air cooler in my room... I have heard of suffering for art but melting for it??? Nah! Anyways... THANK YOU to everyone who joined in with the challenge last week...yummm, lots of loverly bling for me to see :O)) This week I have picked a song tune which will have you humming it all day long, tis another of those oldies that I love... Song Sung Blue... so the theme is... BLUE. Now, if you want, you can add in the song part, I haven't cos I am not that clever ROFL
I made a Beeswax Hanging using an 8" square canvas and some ickle mini canvases and some stamping, painting and tissue papering. The base (and the mini's) were painted with...erm... how can I break this to you without you being shocked??? Ok... here goes... Traditional Tan Studio Paint *aha! I bet you thought for a moment it was gonna be a different colour LOL* I added some blue streaks using Sky Blue Studio Paint to the base and the set about Beeswaxing it.
I used tissues which I separated into single ply's...then stamped Tim Holtz Collection sentiments onto them, cut them to fit the mini canvases and then popped Beeswax over the top - the beauty of using normal tissues is that they simply melt into the background so you can't see them.
The base had a whole tissue popped over it, stamped with some Tim Holtz Collection background stamps. The little birdies are cut out of fancy napkins - this is a technique I learnt on a workshop with Lin Brown - she is sooooo clever! I added on some little beads and BeaDazzles using superglue and then made a hangy thing for the top using fat eyelets and some Idea-ology.
To join in with the challenge, all you need to do is make a piece of art... it can be anything you chose... add in some stamping and the theme... leave a comment for me here with a link to the place you are showing your creation, then I can hop on over to see you :O)) The theme will stay open until 21:00 Saturday July 17th '10. Thanks for looking... have a FAB day... I plan to try and stay as cool as possible and get as inky as possible... not sure how easy that will be LOL TTFN

Blue eh?? Not a colour I often use but I will have a go!
I did actually use a bit of bling last week but couldn't enter it cos I can't blog it till the morning for reasons which will become apparent!
Thanks hels for putting my ugly mug and link to Camille in your side bar - luvs ya!!!
What a super example of 'blue' art !!
This really is gorgeous Hels. Love the titchy little canvases and the colour is stunning.
Er, my craftroom (ex conservatory) can beat your craftroom temperature. I had to lock up for a couple of hours today to go shopping and when I returned it was 48 degrees. It's a wonder things don't spontaniously combust! At 12.30 am it is now 30 degrees, groan!!!!

OMG do you realise how absolutly fab this would look in my new craftroom ;p Tis absolutly stunning and in one of my fav colour combos too, you are sooooooo talented, and you know i love ya tons and tons lol
will try and join in if i have time xx
I love evrything I see of yours but this is my favorite! It is just so soft and subtle looking. I love how you added the mini canvases to it. How did you attach them? I am going to case this and make a hanging for my brother for Christmas.
This is absolutely GORGEOUS. I am just drooling over this. I would love to learn some of these fabulous techniques from you.
You can take just the simplest of little things and make beautiful art! You never sease to amase me! Might have to give "blue" a go myself LOL
Oh, Hels, this is sooooo pretty! I love the layering - and you used regular ol' tissues? I have to try this!
WOW! Love it!
And no burnt fingers? Good job!
Linda
Blue is my fave colour,must try and join in this week....great piece,love the little canvas's arranged on the base - you do this style so well.
Just wondering where you buy your trad tan paint by the gallon. Here in the US you can only get it in those teensy weensy jars. LOL Beautiful piece, by the way.
Hello Hels,
a real nice canvas ! I like the whole composition and you really have an eye for composition !
i like the background with the subtle touch of blue.
thanks for the tip on stamping on tissue paper ! I always find it difficult to stamp on a painted background : the image doesn't always stamps very crisp, but on tissue paper it does come out great.
The tissue paper indeed blends in with the background with the bees wax. Long time since I used my beeswax...
Finally vacation, so I hope to be able to create much, maybe even something to participate...( blue IS my color...)
greetings from belgium
Inge
totally gorgeous...have so got to have a go with beeswax, never done it before.love the subtle effect
hugs from Daniele
Ooooo, stunning, love it. I adore blue and brown together and think your piece is fabulous.
Blue-ming gorgeous! Off to get out my blue inks....
wow!! Just so gorgeous, love the colours the mix of images and the dimension you have created! Hugs Juls
Wow Hels this is absolutely beautiful, such a gorgeous piece and so many inspirational ideas! Given that I bought some canvases yesterday you just might have started something ....
Wow this canvas is sooooooo cool!
really want to play this week will make massive effort - finding it too hot to craft everything dries before you want it too!!! lol
Maggie
Stunning canvas, love the technique with the tissue & beeswax. Great colour challenge, just what we need to cool us in this heatwave! x

Fantastic Hels! I LOVE IT! I WANT IT! NOW! rofl. Ok, you can just bring it to me when you travel across the US, lmao. It looks very.. shabby chic, actually. Love the streaky blue with the flourishes, scrummy ART!
