MIA Again!!!

Haven't been posting__too much going on---Holidays always seem to turn out to be Holidazes!! is that a word??hi hi Anyway--I did commit myself to a swap at Adys and we each get three people to make ornaments for--using Adys type gurl!! First I drew one of Adys type gurls on shrink plastic and shrunk it and painted it and glued it onto a wooden pink heart..I bought at ACE Moores only I used some Christmas inks on the heart to tone it down and show off the gurl more--Then I found some inexpensive wooden boxes to decorate--I gessoed them and I modpodged some fancy papers I had --on one-- to see what I was going for-- Didn't really like it-- until I used my destressed inks -from Tim Holts Christmas collection- I am still ---- putting on this and taking off that--- but I now have a direction-- A lil goth anime gurl on the top-- and inside I have tissue paper in red and white designs mod podged on! Sorry--I haven't taken any pixs of my orders--They are in and out--and since they are paid for-- don't want them duplicated until they at least leave me hmmmm Anyway--Thats my story and I am sticking to it heh heh!!!

Distractions

''TO keep me busy and mind off the "worry" things around me..I made some ATCs --I am taking a class over at Ady's DOD Dollies---Love her take on the eyes--which are a favorite of mine !! So A gal there-- names Tania(from Australia--THey seem to have a ton vo creative people over there) has made interactive ones and Ya know-- it took some thinking to get these done hi hi I didn't want to take the easy way out and buy brads and do-dads-- SO I dug thru my stash and found some bead stringing" wire"---I folded the butterfly wing which I had modpodged for strength and I think I put a paper glaze later Anyway --it now feels like Plastic so it came out good for all this and wraps around the wire nicely-- and the wire is so thin --it doesn't show where I pushed it in and out of the card--- it worked--Then I put it in-- on top of the angels hands--- and put a crystal bead-- and wrapped the wire around it and thru the card to the back and just made a lil wire knot there--- Same for the mermaid She has a crystal in her tummy button--The angel has cotton hair that was gessoed in and the mermaid has string I gessoed and painted over --Wish I could make a video-- I am better at "showing" --how --I did this than telling..but think you can get some idea with this and I am sure there are even better ways out there This was just my take on it--and on keeping me busy-------Lets see what mess I can make next????????
