Happy New Years
Just got back a couple days ago from a trip to palm springs where my mom in law lives.
Had a great time. Have some wonderful pics to show when I get them on my computer.
Well a new year is starting. I was going to try to sell candles but that did not work out really well so I am going to plan "B" my hubby got me a great sewing machine for christmas so I am going to sell artsy teddy bears, dolls and other wonderfully artsy fartsy creation. Plus I am going to create some embellishments with clay etc. And also would like to get my altered inspiration E-zine going. I have alot of plans for 2006 and plan on making them happen, turned 34 in December and really need to get my life on track. Well I am getting ready for a new years get together so you will hear again from me in 2006.
Have a safe and fun New Year!!!!!

Yellow /Red Oxide Sun 1
4" x 4" Color Swap for Bmuse


Yellow/Red Oxide Sun
For 4x4 inch Color Swap
To make this square I first spread on some light molding paste (golden)
with a painting knife. Then I Textured the square with my painting knife and took some paperclay molded shapes I made and dried and put some of the molding past on the bottom of the clay pieces and stuck them in the paste. Then I added some more paste with my paint knife to build up around the clay pieces. Waited patiently for it to dry. Then painted the whole thing with yellow oxide acrylic paint. Zapped it with the heat gun and painted red oxide thick over it a little at a time wiping off with paper towel then I dry brushed yellow oxide over it. Zapped with heat gun again then used a brush and applied Liquitex medium and varnish then zapped with heat till bubbled. Then waited for it to dry .
