Dreams Of The Sea Artist Trading Block With Unity Co Stamps

Hello all

Remember when i said i had mermaids swimming in my head? No i am not going mad i just had a lot of craft ideas using mermaids at the time. Well i have an artist trading block to share using  the Spirit Of A Mermaid stamp set designed by Susan K Weckesser

https://www.unitystampco.com/spirit-of-a-mermaid/

This started off as a plastic toy pirate chest. I painted it with Prima Rust Paste and once the first layer had dried, i added heavy  gel medium and sprinkled on blue glass sand and added moss. I then added resin shells and other bits in order to make it look like it had been in the water for awhile.

Before i stuck the block  together i gave it a coat of blue acrylic paint and then once it had dried i used a fish scale stencil over the whole thing using DecoArt  modelling  paste and left it to set. Then i used two different  shades of blue acrylic paint over the top,painting each one half way up the front. I finished off by using the green iridescent  paint for added shimmer.

I stamped  out the mermaid and coloured her in before i cut her out.

I made the tail using a silicone  mould and paper clay and left it to air dry. I then painted it green and covered it in Wow embossing  powder before setting it all with a heat gun. I added a cute little mermaid heat on the fin to finish.

The rest of the pieces are covered in rust paste and moss for that undersea look. I love the mermaid pearls as they look like bubbles.

Artful Days Spring Hearts Decorations

Hi all

I have had these hearts in my stash for about 6 years and this year i am determined to use up my old stash. I was a bit bored with the usual pinks and reds of the season so i went with a Spring theme. 

1. Paint the hearts with gesso and then texture sand paste.
2. Paint them with pastel colours.
3. Glue Sisal onto a few of the hearts and decorate with paper and silk flowers.
4. Add a few small glitter Easter Eggs.
5. Paint small resin birds with matching metallic paint and adhere to hearts.
6. Add Art Balls around hearts.

Gecko Galz Mixed Media Art Dolls

Hi all

I am back with a set of art dolls made using the new paper dolls collage sheet by Gecko Galz 

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/641501505/paper-dolls-collage-set

I started off by printing of a few copies of the sheets and cutting out the pieces. I matched the pieces up and once i had the right combinations, i then glued them together.

The first doll is decorated with lace trims and artifical leaves.

I used a red leaf as the skirt and added lace to the top.

The last doll was made up using lace trims and a bow.

Hi all

I have a shaker card to share using the October box from The Glittery Hands. I used the sequins and papers that you receive with the box.

Cover card with orange paper.

Take a nesting die and place two different sized dies inside each other to create a frame.

Hold in place with washi tape.

Cut out 2 or 3 frames from craft foam depending on how thick it is.

Cut out a frame from the skull papers.

Now take the smaller die out and use the larger die to cut out 1 acetate and one patterned shape.

Glue the craft foam frames to the solid base and leave glue to dry.

Fill box with Halloween sequins and glue the acetate top on.

Once dry, glue on the patterned paper frame.

Glue box to card and decorate with paper flowers and small embellishments.

Cut a sentiment out of scrap craft foam and glue it down to finish.
