These are so easy!! I punched some scrap text that had been painted with various shades of green. I drew a circle around a yogurt cup then ran a bead of UHU twist & glue around the circle. Place the punches around, tie a little bow, attach with more UHU twist & glue and your done!
I think I like the gingham bow the best…
Not being Catholic, I had to look up what the medal meant when I found it. It’s called the Miraculous Metal.
Here’s a little blurb from the site I looked it up on.
There is no superstition, nothing of magic, connected with the Miraculous Medal. The Miraculous Medal is not a “good-luck charm”. Rather, it is a great testimony to faith and the power of trusting prayer. Its greatest miracles are those of patience, forgiveness, repentance, and faith.
The hummingbird also has powerful meaning in her life.
I hope she likes the colors I’ve choosen.
I confess, I procrastinate. BIG TIME. Lucky for me, I work fast under pressure.
I recently found this choker necklace at a thrift store and had to have it. Of course, I hate chokers. Heck, I can’t even stand a turtleneck collar but I saw the potential of it being repurposed.
Now after my quick change up I have a necklace and pair of earrings. Only then did I realize that one of my earring holes had partially grown closed…OUCH!
I’ve made some headway on my quilt.
I do know will most definitely be colorful!
I’ve been working on this one for a couple of days. Dress makers pattern tissue was used to create texture. I laid it directly onto the wet gesso. Some random scraps of text from my scrap bucket were also used for interest. Those were attached using UHU twist & glue.
I used my fingers a lot on this painting. I just seem to have more control that way. I can feel the canvas and know how much paint is being applied. Even when I use the brush I often use my fingers to spread the paint. It gives a totally different effect.
I had no plan in mind…just let it happen. Besides if I decide I don’t like it anymore….I’ll just gesso over the whole thing and start again!
This entire book used scraps of book pages glued to the board book in a random fashion. I then use paint, stamps, markers, correction fluid and colored pencils to create my backgrounds.
This is a Kelly Rae Roberts technique that I have absolutely fallen in love with.
Before becoming a member of the UHU design team, I used to think gel medium was the only glue that I could use for this technique. After getting my sample glues, I discovered that the UHU twist & glue works perfectly! No more messed up brushes or the oh so wonderful…walked away and left the top off the jar of gel medium. I was famous for that one. Did I mention I’m easily distracted…?
I tried something a little different with the spine. I sewed 2 scraps of fabric together using decorative stitches on my machine. I put a couple of large eyelets near the top so I could attach some fun fibers and charms. I used the UHU twist & glue to attach the fabric spine to the front and back covers.
I love how it turned out!
I’ve now finished all the interior pages of my Random Inspiration board book.
This here is the latest.
The covers have yet to be done and I’d like to try something new and fun for the spine but haven’t quite that figured out yet.
