Slightly rusty but still pretty

Here's another of my samples - 

A journal cover.

I couldn't make up my mind when I made this whether to keep it pretty with a bit of  sparkle or to go rusty grunge. So I did a bit of both 😁

I used the new rose embosser from Katy Sue Designs and some Starlight paint and some Rusty patina paint both from Imagination crafts.

Sneaky peek day 5

Heres my sample for today, its another notebook.

Using half of one of the new moulds, one eye, with another couple of moulds by Katy Sue Designs, fish, seaweed and seahorses.

I moulded them out of Hearty clay and once dry, painted them with Starlights by Imagination crafts.

The shells along the bottom are real shells.

In my mind ,this must be a water dragon :)

Katy Sue Designs sneaky peeks - Day 4

More inspiration for you.

You know how I love making my notebooks.

This one was made using the two new moulds along with the leaf mould, also by Katy Sue Designs

I used Powertex on the material to make it dry hard and hold its shape.

This is one of my favourite samples, which one is yours so far?

Sneaky peek 3

Day 3 samples using the dragon eyes mould and claws mould by Katy Sue Designs

On this one you can see the effect from the full mould, both left and right eyes. The horn like eyebrows are actually made from another Katy Sue mould, the unicorn lashes and horn mould.

And all the texture on the stems of both glasses was created using their continous bark mould.

You can see the way I painted the eyes in this close up and all the raised detail from using the mould.

I bet you cant wait till 29th Jan now, so you can get your hands on these incredible moulds.

But just incase your still thinking about it,

Check in tomorrow to see some more inspiration

Katy Sue Designs sneaky peeks 1

So here as promised is the first of my samples using the Katy Sue Designs new moulds. As you can see theres a dragons eye and three claws. The full eye mould is actually 2 eyes, left and right. 

This sample is a box canvas, and is a homage to Smaug the dragon waking up in the dwarfs treasure hall from the story "The Hobbit"

I used hearty clay in the moulds. Then once dry painted the eye using acrylic paint and Starlight paints on the surround and also on the claws.

I stencilled the canvas with texture paste and added jewels, coin charms and some very bright plastic pirate coins that I painted over and used gilding wax to tone them down.

Hope you like it :)

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think

Pop by tomorrow for another sample or two.

Dont forget to watch the show on Hochanda at 6pm and 8pm Tuesday 29th Jan and at 9am, 1pm and 5pm Wednesday 30th Jan

I hope its ok to enter this into
