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!!

textured panel

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.

Glass balls for Christmas

My favourite colour is purple!!!I got these very cheap glass balls and swirled solution for glass inside and left for an hour to drain.I added small scoops of mica powders-any that dont contain gum arabic work.The magic comes with one of those puffer things that you get with blo pens.I inserted it into the ball and puffed -adding colours in different places. better than a bent stick!!!





Canvas for Fiona


I have long been facinated by this style and I do love small elements so what better idea than to have a go .I used stampboard game pieces dominos and a glass slide.I hope she likes it
