China Town

I seem to be playing catch-up this week and haven't been really happy with a lot of the things I have made :(

At Dragon's Dream TIO the challenge is to make an Asian themed tag.

I used two of my stamps and tried to emboss them with white but I am still not very good at all at embossing. They do say practice makes perfect but any tips will be appreciated.

    Lovely tag Chrissie. Your stamping and embossing looks great. The result of the embossing will be effected by the design of the stamp image and the embossing powder you are using. In my humble opinon-I am no expert. Say, you have a very intricate design then you may need to use a finer embossing powder to avoid any blur. It is a bit of trial and error.

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
