Fragile Papers - Headband

Paper Artsy have been doing a Fragile Paper fortnight over on their blog see here! 

I started to think that there always strength in numbers, so armed with very fragile music paper, magazines and tissue paper I made a start.

I have wanted to alter this plain black plastic head band for a while and the best way to make fragile paper stronger is to use a strong surface. 

So 1 torn and stuck papers over the band using golden gel.

Next I made a pile of papers, and used a piece of magazine to adhere to.

This is after sticking had been completed, I added 4 layers in total.

Next I did a wash of snowflake then a wash of toffee to make the colours less vibrant.

I also did a wash of toffee and pink over the band and added the stone effect stamp over the top.

I loved what Lucy Edmundson did with the flowers, so I choose one of Darcy's stamps and cut flowers and leaves.

I added a piece of ribbon and some stamped leaves to cover the join. then stuck the flowers and leaves together for the focal point added some stickels to the center and finished.

Thanks to my model, the ever patient Kayla x

I really loved doing this piece, something different.

Hope you like it and leave a nice comment

Present bows

Another challenge entry for me, I had to post the bows I made inspired by Darcy.

I did have 2 but completely forgot to take a photo before it was added to a friends birthday present duh!!

So here is the one I made after the show in Doncaster when the fabulous Darcy did a demo. I love these bows and plan to make some more for special Christmas Presents.

Thanks for looking.

Liesbeth Fidder Inspired Journal page

Hello

I loved the Canvas on the PaperArtsy blog by Liesbeth Fidder see the details here it uses my favorite designer Lynn Perella

I decided to give this a go and create my very first art journal page to enter into this week challenge as it's been a very long time since I did one I am hooked already doing 2 pages in 1 go and creating the background for the next one. The little black PA journal books are great and I would like to thank Darcy for giving me the courage to give it a go. I can see how fab it will be to have something to "keep" instead of making pieces for family & friends or to sell on.

I hope you like my piece x
