I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date......Its Wednesday again and time to shoe off your desk to the world and I'm so late this week. If you are wondering what I'm talking about, get yourself over to the lovely Julia's Stamping ground for the details. But I had a workshop this morning and this afternoon I was teaching a craft class. but now I'm back. Plus can I welcome my new followers , Susi, Ria & Jeanna. Not much to show on my desk as it was full of the class bits for this afternoon. so I thought I would show one of my UFOs (unfinished Object). I started this nearly a year ago. If on thick book Cut on the cover and inside. Be warned this takes time and many a craft blade. Well that was as far as I got, plus colouring it orange!! So this week pulled it out again, right off the orange so changed that as you can see I have used fresco paints, embossed card and a stencil
Inside again fresco paint claret and nougat and abit of crackle glaze, plus stencil. Still some things to do. Have a good snoop everyone.
love the cover! It's gorgeous.

I love your book and carving those niches was a lot of hard work. Can't wait to see it all finished! Thanks for visiting my blog, you made my day, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteCool! The various textures on your cover give it kind of an organic feel, and that miniature mask is amazing. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteVery cool project!! I have far too many of those myself and plan to get crackin' on them SOON!!! Love the color and stenciling you've done so far.
ReplyDeleteHappy Crafting!

ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW for you. xx

Franchesca I do believe this is my first time to your desk, (a return visit thank you for coming to see me this morning), as a 'frequent blade changer' I have now learnt to use a Stanly knife instead!. your work is beautiful, thank you for showing it to us.

awesome altered book! You definitely did a great job on it even if it took a year...I can say that cause I have some that are "in limbo" for longer then that! I read Doone's post above and I use a Stanley knife too cause I feel safer with it and it cuts through more layers and blades are a lot cheaper! Thanks for sharing and visiting my desk! Hope you have a great week! Vickie #32
ReplyDeleteGorgeous project, love the colour.

the front cover looks fantastic, I love the bubbles/circles and the colours. I really like your Da Vinci embossed piece from the above post.x
ReplyDeleteThat is looking like a fab project...what will you do with it next??? :) Can't wait to see! Thanks for stopping by my desk already and leaving me a comment. ~Deell #42
ReplyDeleteI like your projects and the painting done on them. I also like your term UFO's so funny! I have had to explain several times what WIPs(works in progress) mean imagine if I switch it up and start saying UFO's haha Tamika #126
ReplyDeleteLovin the front of the journal. I like the pink, too.
