Think outside the box

Hi, Hermine here again. I love collecting things and always want to make the storage boxes look great. So I altered an old sigare box and turned it into a colourful one.
 



 
 
step 1: Slice a few millimeters from different colours of the Sakura of America Cray-Pas Expressionist Oil Pastels and put them in a row on the box. Then carefully let them melt using the heattool. Don;t keep the heattool to close at first because you will blow away the pieces of crayon. Starting at the back of the box working yoyur way to the front, I love to show the Original box so I didn;t cover up the front. Take the black crayon and heat with the heattool so it starts to drip, do the same with the white one.
step 2: take a piece of Kromecote and cut them the size of the side panels. Stamp Worn Clockface 19093 with Stazon Black. Mask this and stamp on the left and richt hand side the small wasp 19011, the Large Bee 19013 and the large wasp 19014. Sp;onge the sides with Aidorndack, remove the mask and color the worn clockface with Adirondack and a water brush. Make some white accents with sharpie pen and glue the panels on both sides.
step 3: take some black and white striped fabrix tape and put it on both sides of the lid.

Impressionistic Dream


Combining several stamp images using a Cray-Pas Rubbing Technique, I was able to capture my feelings for an impressionistic look.    A little Cray-Pas painting was done as well.

VLVS Images:
10683 - Group of 5 Horses (cut mine so there is 3 in this image)
19193 - Bulls Eye Target Open
979 - Design Solid Circle
2559 - A Patch o' Grass

Miracle Tape Sheet

Fabric that has been tea-dyed is wrapped around a solid surface (acrylic stamp block was used).  One at a time, starting with the horses (focal point), Cray-Pas was rubbed over the surface of a stamp - face up.  Remove cloth, add another stamp and repeat process.  Do until layout is to your pleasing.



Use the side edge of the Cray-Pas to add colors.  Dip a pointed watercolor brush into Odorless Mineral Spirits and tap lightly onto a rag.  Begin to blend out some of the colors in various places, smoothing as well as blending.

Cut and rip fabric with decorative edge sisscors and add a little decorative paper on back if like using Miracle Tape Sheet.  Use the quick dry adhesive to adhere frame to finished art.
