ATC Beeswax fun

These are a few beeswax ATC's made for a swap on one of my YAHOO groups. The neat thing about the beeswax is the way it changes the whole look of the papers! It is like a mystery until you add the beeswax. I did glue all the papers down first, then added the beeswax with my clover iron (LOVE IT! ). Napkins work great and so does tinted and patterned vellum.

Love this technique!

Row houses ala Cathee

These were so fun to make and I really enjoyed coming up with the sayings on them. I cut up an old book and had a blast..I call it the re-words, words recycled!I know,I know not to clever,a journalist I am not an Artist I AM! These are going out to Trish Bayley for a swap..bye bye houses...to England you go!

Royal Princess

If I were the princess I would make eating chocolate for breakfast lunch and dinner mandatory throughout my lands. AND Coffee flowing in a fountain- fresh and dark with a touch of creme. MMMMMM....... I like being princess!

Little Dreamer

Lay your head down and drift off.

Dream sweet things of lace and white,

sugar and spice, for this is what little girls are made of.

Fabric ATC

These Bathing Beauties turned out cute! Worked on them while chatting with my good friend Kathy K from Kansas! (Hi kathy if you are out there any where..) This was my first fabric atc and the first time to use my new mini iron..Enjoyed it! These girls are going out on a swap tomorrrow...Bye you cuties!!

I am continuing to work on this book as I have time. This is page 5&6 . Seems to need something on the blank side HMMM continued soon....

In my dreams

An altered book I am in the middle

of working on as the muse hits!

The story begins..a dream.
Page 2, the dream on the wing of a butterfly.

Pg 3&4 The dream is a memory.

Had fun using a transparency that I have had for a while.Colored the back of it with alcohol inks then applied it to the board with gel medium. I always love the look of gel glossy!

Lady of the summer
