paper quilt-clever things to do with a wizard!!


My good friend Adrienne gave me some instructions on how to make a paper quilt and I thought I d combine it with a swap I was doing entitled clever things to do with your wizard.
The materials I used were angelina, fantasy film,copper mesh,metal sheet foils (the sort you put on dried glue-the fine flimsy ones) and wrapping paper.
I used fiskars plates.cuttlebug folders various dies ,lace and some metal embellishments to create the items.I particularly likes the lace bands on fantasy film top and bottom and the foil butterfly over a heavy metal embellishment.I am quite pleased with this and there is not a bottlecap in sight.

Mould mania











Here are my latest experiments with moulds.First the Krafty lady one which are brilliant.I used UEE and fimo here.I dusted the moulds with mica powders before using fimo soft.The pansy and faceis the fimo.the paler ones are UTEE.




I also bought some hard amaco moulds which I tried.The fimo ones were again dusted with mica.they do ease out gently with a craft knife.Some of the designs are great and they were a bargain on ebay.these are the pinky hearts


Lastly amaco again with UTEE.they do come out!!.I chose shallow ones and sprayed with silicone first.I can now make some more inerestingly coloured ones.These are the bronze daisy and leaves

faux dichoric glass


Finally I think i got this.I used my melt pot but only put the glass in the shallow area to coat one side.Then I added the film trimmed and touched the edges onto the dry piece of pot to seal.Finally i poured UTEE on and stamped into it.These are the neatest ones I ever made!!

I made this panel as an excercise in texture.It is coloured with glimmer mists and perfect pigments with hairspray.The texture is formed from mesh, gesso, gel and paper.
