Artist’s Palette Assemblage

Posted on 6th December 2014 by perfectly4med

This project started several years ago as an impromptu challenge with another crafting artist – it’s had bits and pieces done to it in between other projects, but with my altered art demonstration day today at Coleman’s Craft Warehouse, it seemed the perfect time to get it finished and on display!

Made with a Tim Holtz Configurations box, a free wooden palette and various bits and bobs gleaned at pound shops I’ve tried to include both colour, texture and materials used by an artist. Now all I have to do is find somewhere to put it!

Crocus Planter (for Creative Expressions)

My final project with this month’s Creative Expressions’ Winter Flower stamp set is this cute little terracotta planter resplendent with colourful crocus. Except it’s not terracotta. And you won’t need to water the crocus either. May be just a dusting now and then 😉

Tim Holtz configurations shadowbox

Posted on 13th March 2011 by perfectly4med

Here’s this afternoon’s work – lining and taping a small Tim Holtz configurations shadowbox. I’m aiming for the box to be filled with ephemera evoking Victorian times with a steampunk feel to it. Quite pleased with it so far, but found the tissue tape to be less adherent than I would have liked. Three of the boxes are lined with paper of my own making – using various Tim Holtz stamps and distress inks: I inked the stamp with the same colour pad as I then used to swirl colour on with foam application tool. The tone-on-tone gives it a nice aged look.
