I is for itsy bitsy inchies


Here is the letter I in my alphabet tag series. For some reason this letter stumped me until I saw my friend Rita's inchies from a recent art swap. The words inspire, idea and  imagine are great words but seemed too vague and general for this so I went with the theme of inchies. In the usual fashion I cut some more gelli prints for the background and for the inchies. The Gypsy Soul collage sheet was used for the faces ( I used a 5/8 inch square punch) which was then adhered to black paper and cut around the edges with a decorative stamp type scissors. To finish, the words and the sprocket chipboard were colored with green and caramel ink colors. The light bulb safety pin was added to the hole - I am so loving those!

Supplies from Altered Pages:
Gypsy Soul collage sheet
Gelli printing plate
Sprockets chipboard
Light bulb safety pin

 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!
