Tutorials: Decayed Elegance Cuff Bracelet & tattered fabric supplies
Each day this week I will be posting a different mixed media art tutorial and campaigning for your votes. I am in the running for a sponsorship from Prilosec OTC and if I get it I will be able to provide FREE Video Art Classes Online. Todays tutorials are two parts of the same project. Yummy! Decayed Elegance Cuff Bracelet: What you need: 1. strip of fabric long enough to wrap around your wrist with about 1 inch of overlap 2. tattered fabric scraps and strips as shown above 3. pieces of lace or hankies 4. old pearl necklace with clasp 5. beads or old rhinestones 6. needle and thread One of the good things about this cuff bracelet is that you don't need perfect sewing skills. 3. 4. When you have finished to can overlap the ends of the cuff and snap your clasp closed. Someday I hope to make a video art class out of this tutorial. Thanks for visiting, hope you have a great day and an even better weekend!
it's a 2 GIVEAWAY day...
before we get to the 2 giveaways for today... I wanted to share what you can create with tim's new metallic stains... I'm still catching up from CHA & packing & kitting for next weekends event in Twin Falls, Idaho... so these aren't big tutorials... I'll get to those in the next few weeks... it's a promise! to create a really fun faux metal background... this is a variation of tim's wrinkle free technique... swipe both stains on your craft sheet & lay your tag over the stains... I like to run my hand over the back of the tag to pick up the stains... then lay your tag over the remaining inky dots & add those to your tag, by gently pressing the tag over the ink dots... and dry... here's the background you get... notice that I didn't ink the entire tag... the kraft color showing thru adds to the faux metal effect... I am in LOVE with these metallic stains... think about stamping a solid image in black & then clear embossing for a dramatic effect... this would also be a great technique to die cut... next...

The winning suggestion this time was given by paperfish who said: i am seeing her with a bicycle in the picture, like she rode to the country on her bike and in the basket is her fabric stash and her sewing machine is magic and works anywhere! I hope you are satisfied with the result, it was VERY challenging, I have never sewn a bike before. Nor did I think I would be able to draw one. But fabric and thread works wonders with my drawings, it continually surprises me. Click here for a close-up of it. I am posting the rules here again if you want to play with me, next round is 6/10! I will:1. wait until I have got (at least) ten suggestions for the next motive2. draw one of them3. do my best to do as you wish using fabric and thread (and buttons?) Feel free to join in!

View from Blarney Castle, Ireland ...I am by Ireland after our little jaunt there -- by its countryside, coastline, cities, villages, and especially, by its people who charmed me in a big way with their warmth, helpfulness and, to be sure, their infectious sense of humour... If it wouldn't be for missing my children a whole lot, I would have loved to stay on longer and keep roaming through this wonderful country; I definitely want to go back, perhaps with my children this time, to explore more of its many bewitching corners... But for now, let me share with you some of my favourite pics from there: Harcourt Street, Dublin, across the street from our hotel. We started off in Dublin and, even though our stay was short there, I really liked the look of this vibrant city with all its simple but beautiful Georgian brick facades, subtetly decorated by lovely wrought iron details like the window guards and lamp posts you can see above.
