A Tissue at Try it on Tuesday

Hello Everyone and thank you for calling in.

This post is to announce the first challenge of 2017 at Try It On Tuesday. It is always exciting to start a new challenge and this one has lots of possibilities as the theme is A Tissue.  Wonderful ideas from the team over at TIOT so I hope you pop along and take a look if you need inspiration.


I made a framed picture-the photograph was taken on a part finished jigsaw that we are doing.



Hung on the craft room wall




It started out with this large plastic plate 10 inches diameter


Covered it in texture and made patterns with my fingers.  The centre was covered with a 4 inch paper circle for later

When it was dry I painted it with white acrylic paint then covered it with the thin top layer of the paper napkin so the texture would show through.

This is the paper napkin I used

Then I used a photograph taken in 1920 of my dad and his mum and dad paddling in he sea. I cut out 4 inches round of the photograph.This was mounted on another paper then stuck in the centre of the plate where there was no texture because the paper was removed that was added earlier.

It will be great to see your takes on the theme so please join us.

I would like to enter this at Altered Eclectics as well where anything altered is accepted

Have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    Fab "scrapbook" page! The circle shape is original and the napkin background so appropriate for the photo. Love it!

Hello Everyone and thank you for the wonderful comments you left while I was away. I did have internet a few times but not for very long so I haven't been able to do my usual blog rounds. I will be back to normal now and look forward to seeing your makes. At Tag Tuesday dear Wendy chose Textures as her theme and it is going well. You still have a few days left to join us there with your textured tag so I hope to see your makes This tag is made of fabric that has metal drops on it. Haven't a clue how they do that but it was from quite a nice old tee shirt that I cut up. I used a plastic doillie and a metal adornment from a belt as well. Go Tag Thursday has Star or Stars as the theme for this week. Good to see more people joining in there as well. A bit of a tag revival going on I think. This is a digital tag with free to use tattoo designs and a background I made in Paint Shop Pro. At Art Journal Journey the theme chosen by Rosie is circles and runs until the end of the mon...

Hello Friends and Followers. Nice to have you pop in today and thank you for your visit. At Tag Tuesday this time Wilma our teamie has chosen Cake as the theme I went straight out of the cake tin and into a Goth Wedding where the couple can't decided which cake to choose for the happy day. We have seen a few Goth Weddings when we have visited Whitby and they are terrific events with wonderful costumes worn by all. Vic isn't keen on me taking photographs of the Goths though I am sure they wouldn't mind. If you dress as they do I would think you crave attention. Their clothes and make-up are amazing. At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme the animal Fly As I have only being the heads of all the animal inchies this year I found a drawing of a fly's head--yuk. The colour choices are mine and may not be real Happy T Day if you have arrived from Altered Book Lover blog where Elizabeth and Bluebeard invite everyone to join in on Tuesday with a drink related post- or par...
