Buddha painting (mixed media in progress)

Did this Buddha painting a few days ago. I used Bird grit for the texture and acrylic paint, its not quite finished yet I'm trying to get hold of some resin which i want to pore over the top to hopeful give it a glass like finish i'd like it to be about 1/2 in think, but we'll see i will probably muck about with it some more and it will end up completely different.

Altered dominos

I'm taking part in a domino swap on Aunty's forum and i have altered 3 dominos kinda gone for the distressed grunge look, I used my stampin up stamps that i bought from Julie alcohol inks and gold gilt cream

I have know idea what i was doing with this page i just added an old page from a book stamped on it, doodled, slapped paint, water colour crayons and ink on there. I really wanted to use the image on the top right so just went with it.

Paverpol Garden statues meet Emmie

Last year i made some statues made with paverpol ( A textile hardener ) these can be put in the Garden as the paverpol makes them frost & weather proof.



You start by making a wire armature (I used Garden wire) cover that with tin foil to bulk it up then wrap masking or florist tape around it.Then you cut fabric in to strips (i used an old black cotton T-shirt) dip the strips in the paverpol and wrap the strips of cloth around the armature to make the body, then you basically drape and layer the material on top to make the clothes.



They look great amongst the plants in the garden




This is Emmie i went for a bronze look by adding bronze and gold paint to her

A little bit of Folk Art I think ?

I bought this little foot stool a while ago in a charity shop for £1.50 it was just plain wood so i thought i would funk it up a little bit. I'm saying folk art but i don't know what to call it
kinda pink Huh? LOL
