TRANSFER PAINT

I got the old iron out and had some fun, using fancy bags,
I don't think they sell them here, got mine in England.
So did a few bags and also ironed on a new motife with the transfer paint,
its great because you really don't know what it will look like till its done.

I love how this came out using transfer paint and a motif.... 

I used transfer paint on this one, I really like how it turned out, might use this for a dolls dress... 

This was a paper bag, words were writting backwords, so words came out the right way, just not to dark... 

This one turned out yucky,first used a bag, then added some transfer paint... 

I always wanted to add a pic on my profile, and also have it on my comments. This was last christmas, I'm holding a beautiful moasic vase my niece Kim gave me.... 

I hope this works I bought a plaster cross at the thrift store it was quite large and with beautiful scroll on it, I broke it apart and made a frame and have a small cross. I mounted them and really hope these make fab stamps. I'll try them tomorrow.... 

Mounted the stamps I made from clay, now I can use them... Had a pair of earrings I thought I could use for stamps so mounted them too. 

Thought I'd do a close up of the inside of my DB box, Yes thats the him, the King of Jokers, funniest guy I know ( like my dad, hey except for the baird it could be him in that chair haha.) Has the biggest heart, shhh, toughy would never admit that.. And he Looveess his poker. Oh and lets not forget his 7 sisters, made him be all that he could be LOL LOL.. 

I finally tried making paper, now I know how I want to make it, what not to use... I'll experiment more tomorrow, hehe you finally get to see my busy work area set up in my living room, crowded in here... 

Finally I finished it. When I went to put the box together I realized the frame was just raw wood. Now what to do... So I took out my soldering and burning gun. I just put some design on it, varnished it and Tada its done..

I got the shadow box done last night, I put spray glaze on it,
so when it dries I'll put it together and take a pic..
I got out my soldering gun, experimented with a
lot of different felts and materials, only 2 of them cut nicely
and wasn't to toxic.. I'll play with it again tomorrow...
Did some painting and stamping after, pics below..

Jan gave me this material they use at work. I painted on it then stamped it, it cut like butter with the soldering tip.. I cut out the stamps to use in something.. 

Used up the paint left over used gel pens on the dragon fly.. 

Working on a shadow box for my DB, a little late for the birthday but he'll get it.. As soon as I put it together....

Woke up to a lovely rainy day,
headed out to St. Jacobs to visit the Market just outside of Cambridge
Ont.. Didn't keep anyone away, place was packed.
They have 2 indoor buildings and an outside for fruit and vegs.
It was a lovely drive on the small hyways.. Mist all over the fields
eveything was so green.. Made me feel like I was in England, well I can imagine..
Got few good pics, for my DS in the real Cambridge UK...
