Blitz and glitz

Had another brilliant class of lovely ladies at blitz and glitz Rawreth on Saturday . Sharon made me very welcome. Hope every body was as pleased with their results as I was. We had lots of messy fun with texture, paint on tags and hearts.

My finished MDF tag.

We did two or three practise board tags in the morning before produced our mdf piece in the afternoon.

Morning tags experimenting with black and white gesso, spray ,waxes, texture pastes and paints.

Here are the ladies results

Meet Fred the skeleton in Creative Expressions cupboard!

There was a big clear out of the walk-in cupboard in the shop at Kettering , among the things in the pile for the skip was Fred, a child sized plastic skeleton . He may not be anatomically correct but he was crying out for a make over. This is going to be a long on going transformation , as I am only working on him once a month! The rest of the time he sits in the chair my Nanna had made for me aged 5 whilst I decide to do next. Here is where we are so far and a few stages along the way!

Coated in gesso!

Printed tissue added

Flowers added in his pelvics and on acetate In the rib cage,so I can remove to spray and I think add some battery powered fairy lights, then a few other embellishments added to his surface that will be highlighted soon.

Relaxing at home with a hat and wings not yet fixed but I think will be added next time!
