Good Monday Morning Ladies,
Bank Holidays never feel like the start of a new week, do they, they just feel like an extension to yhe past week! (Maybe thats just my crazy mind) 🤣😂
We spent the afternoon with Matt yesterday, he picked a place called the 'Anatolean Palace' which was a Turkish Restaurant, I was really excited as I follow a couple of Turkish cooks on TikTok, my mouth waters as I watch them. I had Halloumi cheese as a starter, Paul & Alex had Creamy Garlic mushrooms, Matt had prawns with garlic butter, the also bought a basket of the most deliscious bread. Matt, Paul & I had Mixed Shish kebab that came with rice and unlimited salad, Alex had a wrapped meat dish. Our lamb literally melted in our mouths, the chicken was lovely too. Needless to say we were all to full for dessert. I will return in a heartbeat, I'm not sure if they are a chain but if you are ever near one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you try it. Paul and I couldn't eat anything else apart from a cup of tea and biscuit before bed!
Today I am sharing the second project from my Tracey Evans workshop.
Next we brayered different colour acrylic paint, then we smooshed some on with a finger, circles dipped in white acrylic paint in varying sizes gave more texture, next came texture paste through stencils, with they layers you can still see the print on the paper beneath. I then cut the background up into 6 x 6×4 inch backgrounds and 2 x 5 1/2 × 4 inch backgrounds.
On today's project you can only really see the background on the inside of the Acorns, I added paint in several layers around the acorns, so that the acorns themselves were the highlight. I added white stamping over the background and then stamped the birds in black, I added the tag and 'Acorn' and finished with some splatters.
I have to say I really 'lost ' myself while doing these projects, I really enjoyed making them.
I hope that you all have a great Monday,
Love & hugs to all,
Sandra xxx
Now that we’re both retired it doesn’t feel like a Bank Holiday If we were of working age OH would be working anyway
ReplyDeleteLove the workshop projects I enjoy getting “lost” too
Nothing planned So will just see what occurs
Take care everyone xx
Hi Sandra and everyone.
ReplyDeleteA great piece to enjoy today. I love the colours and the different textures. I can see how you can get lost in creating it, a good thing to do with the wedding coming up fast. Doesn’t seem possible how fast this year is going by!
Enjoy your day with Paul xx
One day I will have a go at one of these projects but I’m still waiting for my mojo to reappear.
Have a good day everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove everything about your project today 😊
I’m itching to get crafting again, but won’t be doing so until the ‘craft room’ is ready! Getting along with it well today, I think we have managed to get all the old flaky bits of paint off, thanks to Mark 🤩
I hope you’re all having a good day and enjoying the bank holiday sunshine.
Sending hugs to you all xx
Hello all, gosh it’s been very hot today, only spent a short time out on the patio.
ReplyDeleteIt’s supposed to rain tomorrow morning, hope so air poor garden is parched.
Sandra love today’s art piece, the colours look so good. Very unusual way of creating background. Must have a go soon, have a load of A3 thin card that I’ve had for ages. Not sure what I’ll do for this week, my pieces have all looked the same these days. Will have to have a look through Pinterest.
Hope everyone are recovering from their problems with their health.Lilian.
