words of wisdom


a really simple card stamped background and homemade word charms
fun and easy to make using copper sheeting and an old non working inkpen, after writiing the words on the copper i go back over them with a black sharpie and then whipe off the excess marker. it fills in the words and makes them show up better.

morphed


I used Papier Glass finish by folk art an image torn from an old playing card and some micro beads placed on a oil painted background I didn't glue the image down but let the papier glass finish flow under it and cause it to rise in places
I really like playing with this glass finish product you can do so many different things with it. and its clear so you can add pigment, or little bits of paper or string , just about anything you can think of .

masqurade


a couple of plastic masks and some chain from an old necklace melted into fun plastic.
I had never played with that stuff before its pretty cool melts very easily and created cool effects . I have seen Jewerly made with it but havn't tried makeing any yet.
