Altered paintbrush swap (warning bloody image alert!!!!)

Not entirely happy with this - it was so beautifully pictured in my head - didn't translate well in reality.

My theme was dark, gothy with an example given of Mark Ryden's artwork. I did a quick google and came across this

And this is how I've interpreted it on a paintbrush

March Tags - Springtime

The theme for this months tag swap on UKS is Springtime - bit out of my comfort zone using pastel shades - tend to use bold bright colours but here goes.........

Finished altered Angel spoon canvas

I finally finished the Altered Angel spoon canvas for the swap on UKS. It's all packaged up and ready to go in the post to its new home. I do hope the recipient likes her. The photo does not do it justice!!!!!!!

And the winner is...........

Thanks to everyone who left a comment - wish I could send you all something each!!!!!   Well TB pulled a name out do the hat for my altered canvas giveaway and he winner is............

CELTIC ANGEL - thanks for leaving a comment :)

This is it so far - just needs some embellishments and a lot of faffing!!!!!  Hopefully it'll be on its way to you soon.

Another giveaway

I appear to have an extra 8x8 altered canvas in the craft room now undecorated after the altered angel spoon canvas swap so............ I'm going to decorate it with an altered spoon in the form of an angel once again and give it away. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post or the other Angel Spoon Canvas on  my blog and I shall lucky dip someone :D. If you are on UKS please leave you UKS username so I can PM you. I'll set a deadline of 15th March so please leave a comment if you would like the decorated canvas (sorry for such a bad bad piccie!!!!) it will look fabbie in real life when it's done honest!!!!

Altered Canvas project update.....

Well been busy playing in the craft room over the last couple of days and this is how it's looking so far. Still got more embellishments and bits to finish off. What do you reckon????

I am so full of inspiration........

I have been so totally inspired by a particular crafter whilst googling :D. Following on from my newly acquired inspiration I ebayed for polystyrene mannekin heads to alter and I came across a listing that said damaged mannekin heads - minimum of six sent - well I thought to myself - hmmm damaged, dented, moulding quality not up to stratch - does that really matter - I'm going to be altering them anyhow and out of the six there must be at least one or two useable not too bad items so......ordered them Friday afternoon and Saturday morning a very bemused postie stood at my front door with a massive box which he claimed was empty!!!! Well this is what was inside -13 off them!!!!! All in perfect condition apart from two which I feel adds to the alterability of them. Can't wait to get playing.

I wonder if this would make a good swap?????
