alcohol inks and flowers
July 4th, 2005I made THE ‘bestest’ magnets this weekend, for the Challenge. I used chekit pieces, coloured with alcohol inks and ran some red-liner tape and tiny hole-less beads round them. I used 2 different sets of the inks and I’m not sure why but one set of colours seem to marble much better than the other set. Then I glued some magnets onto the back. Used an AOL tin and took the printing off it, put down a black velvet base and 9 black velvet spots on the lid, so you can use it as the board for tic-tac-toe or noughts and crosses. It’s so super-wicked that I’m not sure I can bare to be parted from them 
but I guess I’ll have to.
Got a teeny tiny board book to work on, and you wouldn’t believe the trouble I’m having with it right now! My inspiration has just run away and is hiding from me, I feel so stupid as it should be a cynch! Need to get it done as soon as possible so I can move in on the mini-book from ABEurope and then do Tina’s Stamp it! It dawned on me that when the stamp it is over, my monthly comittments are only the mini book, the mini board book, the tip-in and the monthly Challenge. I know it’s still 4 items of art work, but I’ve always felt like I did so much more. Maybe I prefer to work under pressure - keep the adrenalin pumping round
