my favorite (and the final) fairy layout

Here it is, the final--and, coincidentally, my favorite!--layout in the tiny fairy pop-up book.  (If you didn't see the first two posts, you'll find them HERE and HERE.)

Here you'll see the last little fairy, driving his butterfly chariot:


Fairies, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run atop of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

--William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire"



There's lots of shine to this little book, but you know how difficult that can be to photograph properly!  Stuff I used--

spritzable inks--mists or splash
background stamps and ink pads  (all the Neons are on sale right now!)
fairy collage page
a hint of shimmer--Wink of Stella pens
painty background prints--Gel Press plate

Looking to add a little sparkle and shine to your next project?  USArt Quest has a gorgeous selection of mica tiles, mica flakes, and beautiful Mica D'Lights --"sparkling bits of mica with a touch of glitter."  Gotta say, I love the D'Lights and the Mica Flakes for a little shiny texture.

Happy Thursday--it's almost spring!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
