I've been knitting a couple of christmas teapot cosies from a knitting booklet by Jean Greenhowe.
The teapots i picked up from a charity shop for £1 each . I got two because one is for myself, to put  on the worktop in the kitchen at christmas & the other one will be donated to a local school for a christmas fete.
My little grandson came round for the afternoon yesterday so i could'nt finished the last one off , so i put it on my desk & ready for today to sew on the last bits.

Christmas tag

My second christmas tag is now finished .

I've used Dylusions spray inks , Vibrant turquoise , Bubble gum pink, & lemon zest.

Through a crafters workshop stencil called mixed blooms i used bright green acrylic paint.

i then stamp my boarder using Dylusions further around the edge stamps in Rangers archival Vermillion ink and then coloured the boarders with my gold Posca pen .

The stamped imaged is a stampotque stamp which a friend stamped for me & i coloured him using whisper pens.

I was sure on this stamp but now i've done used him with the words i'm feeling quite sorry for him .

The words are from i stamp that was sent to me in a swap last year & it's the first time i've used it.

 So here is a reminder of the other tag i made & they both started out as this

ATC's

Two atc's from me today made from some coloured & stamped atc size pieces of cards which i'd kept ready to make so atc's but never got round to doing .

The left one i coloured using Dylusions spray inks then stamped over the top using a B-line stamp.

The skeletons parts have been cut using a memory box die & the large skull i can't remember where i found that but it's one of those things i kept because i liked it & thought i'd use that one day . 

 

The atc on the right has been coloured using tim holtzs inks & over that i've used the dylusions leaves stamp & then coloured the leaves with a green Posca pen.
Mr super cool Giraffe was something i cut out from a magazine along with the words , something else i kept because i like it, now i think i've finally put these pieces that i'd been keeping to good use this morning.

Stampotique Christmas Tag

 

 

Yesterday on my desk your got to see the two tags which i was working on .  So here's one of the finished tags.   

 

 

Whats on Your Work Desk Wednesday 179

Here we are again another Wednesday has rolled around so it's time again to show what we have on our work desks, & the latest things we are all working on. If your new & don't know what it's all about hope over to Julia's place to join in the fun, http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/

So here's the view from my desk, i took the picture last night & this morning the only thing that looks different is the lids have been put back on ink pads.
I'm making a couple of tags just for fun, messing about trying different things.
I started my tag with given them each a good coat of Gesso then placed then together , & then peeling then apart which gives a lovely textured back ground.
I saw this technique in last months craft stamper mag & wanted to try it.
I then added Rangers Perfect Pearls , (Green patina & perfect gold) while the gesso was still wet . once dried i sprites the tags with a little water & dired the tags with my heat gun.
The tag on the right as you can see has had Distress in Fired Brick & Forest Green added. Its a pity your can't see the wonderful shine coming through the inks from the perfect pearl.
Not sure at this moment what else i'm going to add to complete my tags ,but i'm sure i'll come up with something.

Knitted Santa

Altered Coffins

A few weeks ago i gave my lovely friends Sue http://puppetdream.blogspot.co.uk/ & Sheila a coffin each & a challenge was set between oursleves to decorate them in anyway they wanted ready to show each other when we met up at our craft club.

All i could say at first was a big WOW when they showed me what they had done with theirs. These friend's are so talented.
