Alternative Dimension Mojo

Hello.  Welcome.  It seems my craft room has passed through Chaos and emerged into an Alternative Dimension where random pieces fall together and become ideas!!  I picked my way through the piles last night and it seemed everywhere the eye fell mojo was waiting.  Some stamp masks had fallen in a pile.  Stamp us they screamed, we want to be CAS.   I was putting away a few MDF pieces and they just went together so perfectly they never made it back in the box.   There's a little dog saying those PL papers that arrived Friday are just perfect and I really am trying to ignore the monkey!   And it's not even midnight!!!!  If you are experiencing mojo envy then I'm sorry, there just isn't room for all of us, but if you give me 24 hours notice then I can lock up the monkey. 

So I exercised some discipline and picked one idea to concentrate on.  It won cos it's a bit of a quirky thing.  Just perfect for crafting outside the space time continuum.  

Wot dat den??  I am calling it a plant label.  You heard of weed killer?  Well this one is for them Killer Weedz that you just can't seem to get rid of........

I used MDF elements from Things to Alter, a lolly stick, some large barbed wire and a concave diamond shape.  The skull is Kadoodles Skull and Swords stamp.  I stamped the skull on acetate with StazOn and then painted from the backside with acrylic paint.  I didn't have any cross bones so I wrote the sign and covered it with glossy accents.  Quite liking that font style.  Another gift from the other dimension.........

Thanks for dropping by.  Off to pull some pesky weeds.  Hugz

Here is what I made with chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and stamps from Rubber Dance:

A one handed clock LOL

I started with an IKEA clock.  I used EyeConnect Crafts Totem Dragon embossed with red tinsel embossing powder.  I have connected it with brads and the thing I really like about these chipboards is, they move.  I used 5mm foam to under the central body piece to attach the dragon.  Everything else moves still!  Cool

 

I used stamps from Rubber Dance Round in Circles and ATC Backgrounds 2 embossed with white embossing powder.  

I added some frayed ribbon and red rhinestones to the hand. It rotates once a minute. The circle with the pen and the word 'Imagination' rotate once every twelve hours. It's my very own Imagination-o-meter LOL

Happy Friday

Hello.  Welcome.  It's sunny, it's warm, it's Friday.  Who could ask for more.  Over at Unity it's also Friends With Flair day.  Here's a little something.  Kinda like something I made previously.  But different in it's own special way. 

I made this background at the same time as I made THIS ONE, so look there if you want the step by step.  I stamped Unity Stamp Co There Was a boy onto white tissue paper and coloured him.  If you are doing this technique use white tissue, it keeps the colours clean, and you want the thin stuff without a wax coating.  Then I added a frog from a serviette and the little girl from Unity's First Love set.

Here's the finished framed piece.  I generated the sentiment on the computer and I have also gone along the lines of the frog with a thin black pen to give him more definition and make him look a bit more like a stamp.
