First canvas

I had my first go at working on a canvas last week, and am pretty happy with the result for a first time out.

Dianne held a class, and we worked on creating the background with alcohol inks, stamping, creating textures, and embossing metal. It was a great hands on, fingers dirty session, and I loved every minute. The great thing was that everyone had such a different result!

Here is my version with some photographs I took myself a few years back now, but they seemed to fit the theme, after I grunged them up a bit.

Tag and flowers

I attended a tag techniques class over the weekend, and was most impressed with what I learned. We played with tim holtz inks, stamps, alcohol inks, and metal work. It was a wonderful experience.

I also made some flowers for the Crafting Passionz Halloween flower swap. The colours needed to be black, white, gold, green, orange or purple. It was quite a challenge, as I am not into Halloween that much. The first flower is purple and not blue. :)

All in all a productive weekend. Thanks Shell for making it so exciting. :)
