Inchie and ATC

I can't believe it is Monday again already. Where does the time go?  Lovely to have you call in at Jumbled Crafts and thank you for the lovely comments you leave on my posts. I have the best followers and people who pop-in and always appreciate you joining me on this crafty adventure in Blogland.

At Every Inchie Monday this week we have the theme Salmon

Would you believe that I started out to make one using sewing-well I did and it looked so awful I ended up with this. It made me realise that the people who sew their inchies, or do other wonderful techniques, have amazing talent.


I just did a watercolour background and a cut out drawing of a salmon that I coloured in pink and silver.


Now for Wicked Wednesday that has stripes for the theme this week. Still time to enter so hope you will make an ATC with Stripes to join in there.


My background is made with various colours of Promarkers and the image I found on Google How I would love to still be able to wear shoes with heels like that :(

Hope you all have a great day

Love

    An ingenious take on the stripes theme. Your atc is really striking, the b&w contrast to the colorful background. I would love to wear heels like that too ! LOL Thanks for joining us at Wicked Wednesday this week x

    Your inchie salmon is excellent - very realistic. I didn't know about the ATC challenge, so I'm going to go have a look at it. Your stripes are great - but you wouldn't catch me in shoes like that - too bad for your foot and body health!

    Maybe we should all try sewing or beading or some of the other techniques that our fellow inchers use so we could appreciate their talent more. Nah:) Yours is very well done and I LOVE your ATC.

    Love the sewn inchie and the fantastic stripes on the ATC. Those shoes look great, but I think to wear them, in my dreams only these days.

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
