The challenge this week over on Arty Girlz is blog inspiration, my inspiration came from Linda's Blog. Linda makes the most amazing creations on her blog and she has been making little works of Art On wooden blocks so this is my inspiration to create something on wood.
But i had a problem i didn't have any wood LOL so i had to improvise i did have these
some Jenga blocks so i glued 4 together and made this
I collages the block with papers that had ladies, tea pots , tea cups and writing on it. used different colours of paint over the top and rubbed some off to reveal a little bit of the images underneath then added the black and white image and went round the edge with a soft white pencil and a charcoal pencil to blend the image in. since i took the picture i have given it a coat of beeswax to finish it off . Linda has kindly added this to the Awfullly big art adventure blog as there theme last week was chunky block's

Julie, this is really a fabulous work of art. Great idea -- thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous Crissi! It's hard to imagine how small it is in RL!
Talk about inspired... I also came home witha neat slab of wood from the Scrapstore yesterday, which I am hoping Nick will cut into 12 for me!!! Mad or what? LOL!
Crissi, have I told you what a fabulous work of art this is? And how glad I am that you shared the idea? Well, it is -- and I am:)
Great improvising! That came out sooooo pretty. Love the background and the image. NICE WORK!

Wow, this is great and it sure doesnt look like JENGA blocks now, you hav done a great job and even better that you had to improvise too. Well Done Jaqi x
Very lovely and aren't you clever MAKING a block!!! I bet the beeswax is a wonderful layer. I had thought about that, but haven't tried it yet :)
This is a wonderful technique! I almost tried beeswax on mine! that worked beautifully for you. (I did use a ligh coat of brown shoe polish, though.)Nancy
