Saturday a group of my friends were all suppose to come over and play... but we had tornado warnings and all decided to wait until Sunday to play... which was good, as it was still a cloudy, rainy type of day and I sort of think that allows us all to play better... dont' you???
Anyway... we did have a nice time... and we were all working on different things but we also enjoyed sharing different techniques too... April showed us how to make a really cute little 'basket' using a square piece of paper... and then I showed how to create 'bleach spots' using water... a fun Tim Technique... and then I wanted to share this fun Alcohol ink and plastic technique... so we did it... everyone had fun doing it... I wish that I had taken a picture of Susan's pieces as you will not be able to see them... but her's were really nice too...
You will be able to see April's projects here... as she is doing a project for SparkleNSprinkle here
Always a fun thing to see how others create with the same technique... so I have included here a few other links for you to enjoy too...
Marie was here playing too... and this is where you can her's .
Of course we have to give credit where credit is due.... Tim Holtz does a fun 12 Tags of Christmas starting on December 1st... and of course most of you know that I loved doing them this year... you can see them all by going to my newest blog... Christmas Loverlies and on the right you will see a section that will allow you to see all the tags that I created for this 12 days of hard learning and playing... loved every minute of it too... WOW.. what fun it was.
Anyway on the 5th Day... Tim did this fun technique and I made quite a few things doing it... and I wanted to share this technique and spread the good news... as it is a FUN way to create different things with it...
So here is my tag... that I created on December 5th...
The nice part about it is that if you don't like what you have created you can erase it with solvent!!! How neat is that... love it even better...
Okay... now Linda Ledbetter who happens to also LOVE Tim's techniques does a wonderful blog and she has a challenge using Tim's techniques every Monday... called GRUNGY MONDAY.... I happen to love doing these challenges... as I love getting grungy!!!
On January 16th she challenged us again to use this technique... so by going to this challenge you will also see quite a few more pieces of creations using this technique too... and so I created this necklace for this challenge... I have not wore it yet... but do have it hanging up to wear soon...
I also wanted to do something special for Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge so I created this little scrapbook of my Grandson's birth... and this is the cover... So after seeing all these fun things you can create is your mind spinning???
On Sunday when April, Marie, and Susan all came over to play I also created a few things using this technique... and these are them...
I love using the little fractual pieces of Idea-ology but also you can use sheets of plastic... yes the packaging sheets are GREAT to use... you are helping by keeping this stuff out of the landfills..... and also creating something special with it... so if you haven't already got a stash... I know that you will start one NOW...
I used sheets of plastic for these two projects...
This tag is for a few challenges ..
My tag was created by using a few colors of brown.... Latte and Hazelnut alcohol by Ranger... You will love all the colors... but these are two that I used for this sheet... then I used a few Tapestry stamps for the relief... When you try this technique you might think it is difficult and not try it... dont' limit your experiences .... this is so easy a child can do it... the hardest part is gathering all the things you need to use... and moving quickly to remove the black archival ink... LOL.. that is the fun part too... it is so amazing...
I do hope you will try it...
Okay... then I used some inks that April and Susan had on their blending tools... and created a sheet of pretties... and then I again used a stamp that April had on her acrylic block... and randomly stamped all over the plastic... creating this fun piece of plastic... then I cut it up into 1x1 inch squares... and made this little box for putting all the pieces onto it... I used Glossy Accents to cover and protect the little squares... Love the look of this... and it will go into my pile of Christmas presents for 2012... Yes I have already started on making a few gifts... a couple each month will give me a head start...
Well I know this has been a long blog.. but hopefully a fun one for you... I know that I had fun creating and doing all these things... and hope you will try this one... it is so much fun.
Have a fun day creating something special for a special someone too... and thanks for stopping by for a visit... please look at my Valentine tags.. each day there will be a new one until February 14th... and hopefully by then I will have another special for you too... you never know what will happen...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
