Zentangle Cats

Hand drawn cats, use zentangle designs to fill in your cats and backgrounds. I used Sharpie and Bic permanent markers.

Nesting Dolls

For this swap we were required to create a set of 5 mixed media nesting dolls.

I used cereal boxes as the base for my dolls. Patterned paper, lots of ephemera and borders were applied and then coated with glossy Collage Pauge.

I used vintage images for the faces of my dolls and added a variety of bling to each.

Watch Domino Book

The challenge was to  create an accordion book with dominoes for the covers. 

closed and tied

 front cover                       back cover

Alcohol inks and stazon ink for the watch images.  Miniature watches and watch parts attached with diamond glaze.

This was a great opportunity to dig out my stamps and I did! I also used colored pencils and glossy accents.

Butterfly Domino Book

closed and tied                     front cover and untied

Alcohol inks for color and black stazon ink for stamped butterfly images.  Sharpie markers used to add color to the wings, bling, and Diamond Glaze for a top coat.

Bird Domino Book

Alcohol inks for color, black stazon with bird and leaf stamps, sharpies to add color to the leaf images, and bling all coated with Diamond Glaze.

Lots of rubber stamps and dye inks. I really like the collage-y look I achieved with my stamp placement/overlapping.
