Gold at Addicted to Stamps

I enjoyed making this challenge for Addicted to Stamps this week-the bit I didn't enjoy was trying to get a photograph that made any of it show up as gold. I ended up with a tutorial on 'Projected light and reflections when taking Photographs'-all very interesting and informative for sure.


Still bits that don't look gold but I did my best

Made a tag from gold card then ran it through a Cuttlebug folder. Used clear embossing powder over all of it to give it more texture. The gold die cut someone sent to me, two bits of a paper tray cloth embossed with gold, two bits of old ear rings, gold rush wording and a bit gold ribbon. All sounds simple really but it took hours to make :)

    WOW! The gold on this is simply amazing. I'm not surprised it took ages, and I'm not surprised it was hard to photograph either! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at ATS this week :)

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
