The Brooch for October

Hello friends and welcome here!
On the PA challenge blog, this fortnight topic18 is 'Wearable Art'.
My entry was late because I had to think about making.
Then I decided to make the Brooch for October!!

First I used shrink plastic, it was cut into 12 cm diameter and sanded by sanding block.

I stamped Darcy's tree EDY 06 by Potting Soil Archival. When it dried I was colored in pastel lightly.

It was placed on a toaster that was laid cooking sheet, then I was heated for about 2 minutes. The circle about 40 ％ shrank and the color was slightly darker.

I was layout some laces, thread and beads to the circle Then I was using Glossy Accents ( I ordered a Resin to Amazon but not coming yet... ) in place other than laces, and I've put it overnight.

This is the back side. I painted white gesso 3 times and stamped Lin's love birds
ELB 21.  Finally I attached the pin.

Thank you so much stopping by. Have a wonderful days.

PaperArtsy 2015 #11 Challenge Mini Book(by me)

Hello Everyone, my name Etsuko Noguchi, I have been living in the East of Japan ‘Saga’. This Saga Prefecture agriculture in the main source of income, the rice fields has also spread around near my house. But the agriculture is becoming reduced by the difficult enough revenue for small farms and the aging of farmers. Farmland is changing to the mall and emerging residential areas. 

I have been started craft since 2013 and soon I have found PA stamps and PA blog. Wonderful Leandra’s video and gust designers tutorials are like a compass that led me into the mixed media world. 

This fortnight PA topic is ‘Hiding Object’ then I decided to make the ’Mini Book’.

1st. I used to die cut Tim Holtz the arch die by gray chipboard and painted Irish Cream Fresco and White Heavy Gesso to the base. Also I stamped Darcy's Mini stamps by Stazon Jet Black onto the smoothy heavy weight card.

2nd. I used some dots stencil with 3D Gross Gel, mica powders and micro beads.

Page1,2. I used stamps(backgrounds)--ENS13 circles, music notes. EDY11 dots EN10 Darcy's flowers for focal point. Paint--Bougainvillea, Wisteria, Claret and Snow Flake Fresco.  Words--Jofy's JOFY09 by Archival Jet Black and UniBall gold.

Page3,4. Stumps--EDY05, EDY11, EDY12 and Darcy's bird EM12 for focal point.

Paints--Cinnamon, Tango, Hey Pesto and Snow White Fresco. Words--Darcy's EDY14.

Page5,6. Stumps--EDY06, EDY14, and Darcy's btterfly EDY02 for focal point.

Paints--Cinnamon, Banana, Caribbean and Snow White Fresco. Words--Darcy's EDY11.

Page7,8. Stumps--EDY12, EDY14, EEG02 and Darcy's the snail man EM04 for focal point. Paints--Bougainvillea, Hey Pesto, Caribbean and Snow White Fresco. 

Words--Sara's ESN15.

Page9,10. Stumps--EDY05, EDY12, ENS11 and Darcy's pretty owl EM14 for focal point. Paints--Tango, Caribbean Sea and Snow White Fresco. 

Words--Darcy's EDY12.

I glued tear and wrinkled Waxed Tissue with Matte Gel Matt onto the arch board. Then I used clear gesso, After I spread Cinnamon Fresco and water when it dried I used White Heavy Gesso and Pearl Glaze. 

These are front and back covers. I used Darcy's new Heart EM16, I made the heart by clay and other pieces made by white paper and beads for the front cover. Next for the back cover I stenciled with mixed Grange Paste and China Fresco onto the arch bard. Then I stamped Darcy's EM10 mini Tornado, painted and fussy cut then I used wire for the top. 

 I was thinking how to bind this book. Then I made the binding to use Tim Holtz On the Edge die by smoothy heavy weight card and painted.

Finally I did layout these embellishments onto the covers and used the ribbon to the binding.

I hope you'll join in with the PaperArtsy 'Hiding Object’' Challenge, and have a go at stamping with Frescos, I love the Fresco so much, lots of beautiful colours , fantastic be mixed, extend smoothly and permanent. 

The Darcy Eclectica³ Stamps have more wonderful characters and images, it will surely take you to fantasy world.

Hello friends,

I was so pleased to be asked by Gabrielle if I would be a GT for her turn to host a theme at DragonsDream Tag It On, which recipe is "green and a quotation" (here). Thank you Gabrielle. I really enjoyed it.

My imagine of green is always the field and the fairies. I never met a fairies, but I feel they live and sometime they make the mischief to me.  Here is What I made.

I took the #10 tag and painted Fresco green colours onto the background. I then stamped PaperArtsy Script and Circles stamps, Also I used PaperArtsy stencil with mixed micro beads and mica powder onto the background. 

Next I made layers, I cut the different size circles by white paper then I stamped the butterflies, etc, and I used oil pastels. Finally I made the fairy with lovely stampotique stamp to focal point. 

I haven't any green quotation stamps then I used some sticker for it.

I love colours painting, I hope you like it and Gabrielle too.
It would be great if you would visit Dragon TIO blog and join in the challenge too. 
Thank you so much stopping by, and have a merry and joyful craft life.

PaperArtsy Challenge blog Topic10 'Bottles'

Hello Friends,

Here is almost summer, what about in your area?

Over on the PaperArtsy this fortnight Leandra topic#10 is Bottles. 

I was inspired by her video 'using Grunge Paste onto the bottle'

I was inspired by her video 'using Grunge Paste onto the bottle'. First I painted Caribbean Sea Fresco and stamped MN61 script by Stazon Jet Black onto the bottle. When it dried I used Grunge Paste. It was difficult to make good shape.

Then I used Cinnamon Fresco and Florentine Treasure Gold.

Next I made the bottle vessel.

I painted the box and added wood beads, Prima embellishment and wood box foot.  I love the 3D projects and I'd give it a go 'Grunge Paste'.

Sorry It's a quick post by this.

Thank you so much for stopping by...Hope you have a nice weekend.
