This week on The Compendium of Curiosities 2 Challenge, Linda has chosen Tim’s Enameled Metal technique, which can be found on page 56 of his book.
I’ve made a colourful card for my niece’s birthday.

CCC2 – 15 – Enameled Metal
Posted in Cards, Compendium Of Curiosities Challenge on July 30, 2012 by craftytrogMore Jewellery
Posted in Jewellery on July 29, 2012 by craftytrogI showed this pendant the other day, but I’ve made a black cord hanging for it, instead of the temporary chain it was on before. On Friday, I made some earrings, & altered a charity shop ring, to match the pendant.
Play Day!
Posted in Jewellery on July 28, 2012 by craftytrogI went for a play day with Hazel yesterday, and we spent the day playing with our new Pebeo paints 🙂
Here are a few of my efforts…
A couple of acrylic shapes – eggshell white, buttercup & turquoise on the flower, turquoise & English red on the circle
A pendant & earrings – I used onyx & marina blue in these; and a black button – a bit of turquoise in the recess – love this! These pieces have had a coat of glossy accents, to make them more hard-wearing.
Tando Hanging
Posted in Hanging Art, workshops on July 25, 2012 by craftytroghere’s yet another piece from Saturday’s Pebeo paint class. I used the Tando set of three jewellery Squares with various colours of the Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paint, then linked them with Tim Holtz Ideaology jump rings and link chain. I added a pearl baubles and philosophy tag to finish. The philosophy tag has some Golden turquoise paint added, to match the colour on the frames.

Simon Says Stamp – Hey Girl
Posted in Jewellery, Simon Says Stamp & Show, workshops on July 24, 2012 by craftytrogThis week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge, they are asking for something girly. So, here are a couple of pendants that I made at Helen Chiltern’s class, using the Pebeo paint. I stamped the word ‘Dreams’ (Crafty Individuals), & added it to the rectangular pendant. It was stamped onto book paper, which has virtually turned transparent with the glossy accents added on top. I love the effects on the bluey grey square pendant, I used moonstone & turquoise paint on that one. The rectangular one has red, leaf green & sunflower, which have blended to a lovely effect. I shall be playing with these paints again on Friday, when I’m going to Hazel’s house for the day.
Sunday Stampers – Words
Posted in Canvases, Hanging Art, Sunday Stampers on July 23, 2012 by craftytrogHere are two little 3.5 inch square hangings, that I made at Helen’s class on Saturday, using the Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paints & Crafty Individuals stamps.
I’m entering them for Hels’ Sunday Stampers challenge, which has the theme of ‘Words’.
Thanks for looking, I’ll be back with some more class artwork tomorrow.

Craft Barn Workshop – Pebeo Prisme Fantasy Paint
Posted in Cards, Compendium Of Curiosities Challenge, Simon Says Stamp & Show, Uncategorized, workshops on July 22, 2012 by craftytrogI attended a workshop with the talented Helen Chiltern yesterday. We all had a brilliant time, playing with some gorgeous Pebeo paints. They are the ones that Helen used in her Craft Stamper article this month.
Here is one of my pieces. I finished it off with some Dylusion words and matted it onto some guilded kraft glassine, the latest Tim Holtz technique challenge from Linda at CCC2. The Funkie Junkie Boutique are this week’s sponsor, and they are offering a $25 voucher to one lucky participant.
Anything Goes is the challenge over on Simon Says Stamp, so I’m entering my card for that too.
I’ll have some more class pieces to share with you tomorrow, once they are finished, so please do pop back to see them.
Thanks for looking,
