Arty girlz challenge #73 - Wire

Here is my Utee, wire and bead pendant! I made this for the Arty girlz challenge which is to use wire. I have had a hetic day. We spent 1 and a half hours on a bus journey of 2 miles, for my sons follow up appointment for his hip. Everything is fine just need to keep an eye on it. I bet you who do not live in London are not in the slightest bit jealous when you hear stories like this about public transport. We didn't take the house as there was a lot wrong with it. I am okay as I must be certain we want to stay somewhere before taking anything! Lost myself in making my pendant. I beaded beads in no particular order onto wire and made two hearts from them. I then added some UTEE to my melting pot. Did you see Suze Weinburg and Tim Holtz on QVC very inspirational. I then added some blue and red pigment once the UTEE had melted. Poured it onto baking paper and then added a heart biscuit cutter and quickly added the wire hearts. I crop a diled a hole and added a wire jump ring and silver chain.

Basic Grey challenge - Sketch

The challenge at Basic Grey is a great sketch. This is my interprtation of it. I have used my beautiful Annie stamp by Leanne Ellis. I coloured in using metallic H20's I love metallics and the granola papers by Basic Grey are great for this. I added some gems and some wire. I used some co-ordinating metallic papers and added some more gems and some embellishments.

Arty girlz challenge #62 - favourite colours

Too many colours, how do I choose? What a week! My baby Max has bronchillitus so I spent yesterday morning in casualty. He is responding to the medication quite well so I can go off to my South African evening tonight for a couple hours. Some friends are moving to South Africa soon to work in an orphanage for aids victims, tonight we are having a night to celebrate this.

I received my melting pot this week so I decided to play. This is my first experiment. I used clear UTEE and I melted some in my project pan then I added some blue and red to dye for which created this deep purple centre. I mixed some purple, black, grey and pink polymer clay and then created the pendant. I added some varying gold bugle beads. I added jump rings into the clay so I could create some danglers and link for the chain. I then created the danglers using some beads I made with the leftover clay and the bugle beads. I added a leather chain and there you have it. Photo not great soz.

My favourite colours are black, metallics ( silver, copper,gold) and purples. So I tried to incorporate elements of these. Loved the challenge as it is a chance to express some personality.
