Groovy at Just for Fun

This was difficult and I have been playing around with some corrugated card since the challenge was posted. What a pity that it has brown paper on each side before you can get to the real stuff lol. I wanted a nice clean piece cause I had an idea to make some 'gears' that worked when you turned one they would all turn. In the end I had to give in and use a piece of corrugated card as a background and some shapes from my Cuttlebug to make the gears. I will still be looking for a nice clean piece of the card and have a another go but for now this will have to do. I did love messing about with the paint and inks on the material and will certainly be using it again. Thanks for the challenge at Just for fun

    Yep all the peeling to get to the corrugations is something of a drag. There is some crafters corrugated card without the top or so I understand since Papermill shut their shops I'm sure where you would find it. Love the idea of cogs that actually work hope you do make and share it one day. Well done with this piece thank you for sharing it with us at Just for fun XOXO Zoe

    Fab project Chrissie, love the gears. I had a terrible time trying to get the top paper off and ended up leaving quite a bit on as I didn't have anymore to play with. Thanks for your comments

    I've tried a couple of times to get gears that work - no success yet but maybe one day (when you show me how?) Not to worry you turned out a lovely classy project anyway. This would make a nice addition to a man's card.
    Thanks for joining us at Just for Fun - Hugs, Neet x

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
