Belinda is "ringing" out the year with a phone project!

 

Dear Reader

As we head into the final days of 2021, I leave you with this phone box project to "ring" out the year!!!

I can just imagine it making an old fashioned ringing sound as it sits behind me on my studio shelf.  I do plan to make a mini album to go inside.... but that is for another day! 

The handle of the handset is made from 2 x 90 degree pvc pipe bends and a piece of pvc pipe... 

The base is a wooden treasure chest that I found at a craft shop.  I lined the inside with the books rice paper and the sides with left over rust paper from the backgrounds pad.

Belinda's flying boat

 

Hello Dear Reader

Here is my flying boat!  When the original Lady Vagabond was released quite a few people made boats...  When I knew that I was getting the rope mould and the anchor in the second release... I could not wait to make my version of a boat!

I used thin corrugated cardboard packaging from some Ikea boxes and built the base of the boat from strips.  Then I glued the 8x8 piece of paper on the same packaging and fussy cut round the top of the deck and Lady Vagabond.

I mixed the Glamour pigment with my resin to make it brown and ran the wings as a "skeleton" in the mould.

finally I added the other moulded items that I had painted black and then waxed with the gold Cerantica.

The white rope that I wound around the railings which I made from the original pipe mould is from my stash.

Belinda's wooden snow globe

 

Hello there 

Seeing as it is silly season... I thought I would "get with the program" and make a Christmas ornament using Lady Vagabond moulds and papers.

This is a snow globe from a local shop that comes with other laser cut images in, that I have cut out and put Lady V reading her book in instead!  

The paper at the back of the snow globe is from the 8x8 paper pad.

The colours on the resin pieces are listed below and then lightly brushed with Gold Cerantica to bring out the details.

The Supervisor must be napping as he does not feature in this creation!

Radovan's Pop up card

 

Today Radovan has this fabulous pop up card as his Design team creation.

I love the way Lady V is sitting behind the pike of cases and there is so much depth.

She also has the most amazing pair of wings ... I wish I could fly too!

The front of the card uses the new Lady Vagabond from the Lifestyle collection.

He used a combination of 8x8 and 12x12 paper pads from the Original Lady V

Samantha's Shadow box frame

 

Samantha's shadow box frame is full of gorgeous textures and even has some lights hidden behind the pieces of texture impression sheet she has cut up and glued in layers all round the outside.

I love how she has highlighted the textures

Sam has put a half a Christmas ornament over the compass.

Round Canvas by Belinda and a visit to Sztuka Zdobienia - Poland

 

Dear Reader

This is the canvas I made for a gift for the owners of Sztuka Zdobienia in Poland where I went to teach last week-end!  What an amazing experience that was!  Photos of the event at the end of this post!

I started by bending the resin rope mould as it came out of the mould and held it in place to set using masking tape.  I had left the cover of the canvas on at this stage as the tape holds better to the plastic.

Here you ca see that I have stencilled the repeat brick stencil and the engine room.  For this I mixed some of the powder called Granelli di Luna by Stamperia into the Black Allegro paint and made a paste which I pushed through the stencils.

Once I had made all the resin pieces, I sprayed them all with Stamperia's black gesso spray.  (now discontinued)

I started to put my composition together and add the Cerantica to the Greyboard elements.

Finally I added the Allegro paints and more Cerantica to finish it off.

On Thursday 11 November Olga Heldwein and I headed off to Poland to teach IN PERSON... 

Of course my suitcases are bright pink...

When we arrived we set up our displays and I took a look around at all the amazing samples on display as seen below!

It was so exciting to see so much Lady Vagabond Lifestyle out on display, for sale.

Here is the project on display that I gave as a gift.

Olga and I always have such fun when we do stuff together!

Here we are at the bottom of the only tower left from the castle at the top of the hill... sightseeing at night was such a blast

This is next to the tower...

The view of the bridge where I had been jumping over the border a few minutes earlier...

The next day was off to a good start and lots of learning was done in my Colour Theory class below.  The ladies had a "brian Gym" session!

I was so proud of their paintings. Below you can see the phone from the class that I taught on the first day!

I even got to teach this round canvas with a few changes due to a sell out of a few of the stencils etc... but as you can see... lots of fun was had!

All in all it was a wonderful week-end!
