So here's my desk this morning, couple more examples fron my online course with Andy Skinner, the bluey one is my chipped and Rusty look, the orange is the started of my copper patina. Thease are leaning on a project I'm doing not yet finished so will show later. To the left some stash I bought on sunday after the class with Helen Chilton,some new sizzix dies, how on earth have I lived without these.
Your Andy techniques are looking amazing!!!! Love the look of the new dies too! Have a great week, trace x

ReplyDeleteWow! I love your work, the rusty and chipped lock is perfect. It is so cool that you are taking several classes. I believe I said it before on a different wed, but your blog is amazing, I love the background and they way you have it set up. I thought I was already, but now I am a follower. Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm just about to paint my toes in that lovely teal colour so its right up my street, especially with the texture and effect. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteInteresting colors and textures. Ive never heard of the artist you are taking the class with, I will have to look him up. Lovely blog background, hope you can hop over to mine #30. Barb
ReplyDeleteWow - your chipped and rusty looks amazing... the absolute real thing! Still haven't progressed any further with my Timeworn stuff - going to have to do the whole lot in a rush in the last week at this rate!! Thanks so much for stopping by, and Happy WOYWW...

I'm finally getting around to visit. Those Sizzix dies are fabulous! Never mind how you lived without them, how did I not even know they existed? I think I'm living in a Sizzix black hole.
ReplyDeleteLove the chipped and rusty look, you've got me convinced that is real old metal. Looking good!
Hi Francesca - so sorry to hear you're feeling down - and sad that you're not playing along this week, but thank you so much for your visit. Do hope the rain stops soon -are you somewhere where it's completely hideous?
ReplyDeleteI'm still feeling very guilty that I can't seem to get on with the Timeworn stuff - been admiring yours so much - but when I've got some time, that's not really what I want to do with it. I did ask whether there would be another course later in the year, as this one really clashes with my work schedules and at that point Andy thought it wouldn't be til next year - so I was a bit miffed to discover there's another starting in October - would've suited me so much better - but going to have to knuckle down to it soon, or it'll be a complete waste.
Hope better weather/mojo/mood arrives for you soon.
lots of love,
Alison x
