I have been busy the past couple of days completing a couple of swaps and doing some work on my 12 months in view journal.The first swap's remit was to make something postcard size and the theme was "doors". We were given a picture of an arched door to use if we wished. I started with that picture and worked from there.
I backed the printed picture on card, cut round the door so it could open. I framed the door with some Christian ribbons and edged in more ribbons.
The words are the title of a section in Matthew's gospel, chapter 7, from verse 7.
Inside the door I wrote some words from this scripture. It seemed rather appropriate for the door theme to me.
The second swap's remit was "metal" so I tried to use as many metal techniques as I could.
1) gilding flakes on a strip of DST.
2) real metal - tomato purée tube cleaned of course! with some alcohol ink
3) aluminium tape on card, die cut, alcohol inked and embossed/shaped
4) metal brad
5) gold pen
6) gold glitter
7) perfect pearls
8) clock pieces
