Sunshine and my Crafting Mojo has returned


I have taken advantage of the beautiful weather this week and been up in the Den or sitting on the patio crafting.   However I have been lax in not keeping up to date with the blog as a result.

Firstly I managed to have a play with some inks, acrylic paints and resin, on some wooden flowers.  The big ones were done with alcohol inks and the small ones with acrylics, as I wasn't quite sure how the inks would turn out.   Thy were then all had resin applied to them.   I must admit I was pleased with the results.

(Excuse the messy mat but this was the best way to coat them without them sticking to everything.)



Having done the first bartch I decided to do the other design.   This time I used all alcohol inks.   The picture above is the before and the picture below is with the resin on them.   I also added little gemstones and gold leaf in places.   I had a little leftover resin and put that in a mould along with some dried flowers, but confess I wasn't too happy with the result.
