Hi again, I completed my Wire Sculpture Pig, and again impressed I think he looks cool. Think the beads I used for the eyes could have been bigger but didn't have any to hand.





Someone on Ukscrappers forum posted a link the other day http://www.stolloween.com/ and it's fantastic anyone looking to make some Halloween creations should definantly have a look here. I definantly want to have a go at makeing the pumpkins and hubby likes the look of the skeleton.


I doubt we will have made all the creations we'd like to make ready for this halloween as it's only a week away but think I might try having a go at the pumpkin and see how long it takes.

Long time no post, but finally have some projects too share. I've recently started a free for parents follow on Art Course at our Local Children's Centre and were having a go at making Wire Sculptures. Here's my rat I made and over all I'm really proud of it as this is the first time I've worked with wire. I added beads for his eyes and nose which was rather fiddley, but the hardest part was making the body and getting the wires to stay in place. I have learnt I work better in making larger sculputres than small ones. When I started out I was just trying to get hang of coiling but then it started to look like a tail, and after watching my rats play in the evening after my first class and haveing the coiled tail done I decided to try and create a rat. I think he has charector and looks cool.



Next I have my Wire Butterfly Wind Chime I made. This was really easy to make in comparison to the rat. And was my inital idea to start off with makeing before the rat but at the time I had no Idea where to start and liked how my coiling was going.





I'm Making a Wire pig, but I will post pictures of him when he's Complete.
Next up are my Sons Door Placks I made using Wooden Stars, and different painted wooden animals (which my middle and youngest son chose and my Mum chose my eldests as he wasn't with us), Yellow paint which was all from Hobbycraft and then I sprayed on some glitter to give a little bit of sparkle.


Here is a one off card I made for one of my MIL for her Birthday. I used one of the Daisy and Dandilion Stamps and whispers pens.

And finally on to my Kaisercraft project, ok it's not finnished but as I'm awaiting to have some spare cash to get some cardstock and it may take some time lol I thought I'd Post the so far pictures lol. I've found a Digi Shop online - http://www.littledreamerdesigns.com/ and spotted they have kits which contain templates to make pages for different kaisercraft albums, so you can do them Hybrid. I have bought the Hybrid Magical 13 Skull Album one to go with my album and once I've got my Photoshop Elements back on my laptop I attend to complete it.




Well thats it for this post, But I have a lot of Projects in Store and Projects on the waiting to complete that I'm planning to tackle. I really feel like my creative self again. Think it has something to do with I got to go a Scrapbook crop, first one I've been too in along time. It's called Scrap and Chat based in Yeovil, It's held once a month at Creative Moments in Church Street.
