Christmas Tree hanging house

Another group I'm a part of decided to make a 3 x 3 inchie for each other to be used as a Christmas decoration.

I decided to assemble mine in the form of a house.

Christmas card

 This is my general card for this year. I love my new bird statement stamp by RedLead 

Christams card for Kasha

This year I drew Paper Princess Kasha to make a Christmas card for. The decoration can be removed and hung on the Christmas tree. 

Below, is the back of the ornament.

Bright star and Reflections

Made these two blocks this week. Reflections for my boss Lisa, which seemed to suit the year that was for her,  and Bright new star for Deborah who I work with.

Nest card

My new Paper Bag Studios unmounted stamp sheet arrived and just had to use one of the houses somehow.
So I came up with this odd bird nest themed birthday card for Annette Husband.

Chairs

Chairs are becoming so popular lately in collage sheets and rubber or clear stamps.
Kasha and I decided to challenge each other with some chair art. This is my little hanger.

Wax creations

I've recently received my new encaustic iron and some wax to play with. Have been playing with them the past couple of weeks and wish I bought them long ago.

First experient was to wax ironed a seriette onto a card, and also the centre image. The black netting was also melted into the wax and onto the serviette background. This card was made for my dear friend Marilena for her birthday earlier this week.


Then I thought I would try a simple canvas, applying wax to the sides, top, bottom and of course the front. Using my new iron, I found it easy and a lot of fun. The photo used is a relative of a dear friend of mine, Judy from Toowoomba. Not sure if it's her Mother or Grandmother. Isn't she beautiful.



Then I decided to make something for the Art of the Month swap that was due using the wax. I love birds still so came up with a free standing bird and was happy with the results.
