Mini Spell Book

With Halloween speedily approaching I wanted to make a mini book of spells to wear around my wrist

I coloured a piece of leather with alcohol ink and made a cover which measures 2.5 x 1.5 inches

The pages are signatures bound together and attached to covers by the end papers

The pages have spells and pictures for Halloween

Soul Sisters

An acrylic painting on canvas - one that I painted a while ago - but re-worked to add more light and depth

Desert Island Discs Circle Journal

I have signed up for a circle journal with the title of Desert Island Discs and wanted to make a lightweight journal  I made a piece of fabric paper with text and tissue and gave it a spine of leather which I altered with alcohol inks and secured with eyelets I added fabric images to suit my theme and gave it all a coating of acrylic wax for protection  The inside is lined with hand dyed cotton with signatures of watercolour paper 

Hopefully in 10 months time I will have a work of mixed art to treasure

Polymer clay buttons

I was playing with polymer clay - fimo - yesterday making some buttons for a swap  I made a silicone mold from buttons I had and also cut some freehand   I was looking for the right sized cutter for the round ones and found a candle snuffer just the right size then stamped with a text stamp  Some of the buttons have a little  mica powder brushed on before baking

Haunted Treasure Chest

Preparing for Halloween this wooden box has been given a grungy paint treatment with added chains and charms and metal feet
