inky inky 4x4, hanging on the kitchen door...

I've been making gifts for people. I know the people these are going to are of religious persuasion, so I figured I'd make something to help them celebrate their beliefs.

These are 4x4" ceramic tiles I bought from Home Depot, in 'Almond' color. I colored them with Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks, then stamped and heat embossed them in silver. I trimmed them with plumbers' foil tape I also purchased from home depot. I'm making wire frames for them, that will be twisted into scroll work and embellished with Czech fire polished beads in complimentary colors. I made 4 of this design, (the other 2 are in speckled pinks and striped purples.) I'm making about 10 of these tiles, 6 of which will have various stamps and embossing colors.

I have also been playing with my Utee, so I'm going to post my Utee experiments next! Stay tuned!

Domino domino on the wall

Domino domino on the wall;
please hold tight or you will fall!
If you should fall, the art might break;
And that would make my sprockets ache!

I am not exactly 'done' with this first phase of my Etsy project, as I am currently fiddling with glosses, finishes, and coatings. I plan on turning these creations into pins or magnets upon request. I used Ranger/Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink, Stampin' Up! Stamp sets 'Artifacts', 'It's About Time', and Autumn, Limited Edition stamps 'Background Script' and 'Clock Face', Rubber Soul stamp 'Winter tree, (positive)', embossing powders in gold and silver, Krylon Kamar Varnish and Judikins Diamond Glaze.

I am processing many others, and will post pictures as soon as I get them done.

Here's wishing you a lovely evening!
