Ever see something that sparks an idea, then fades away, only to resurface a week later? That's what happened to me.
Two Fridays in a row while waiting with hubby, I have walked around a lobby admiring art work that keeps triggering a nagging inspiration to attempt the look in card form. Here are photos of what I am looking at, no clue to the artist or I would give credit:
These are glass panels embedded with beads, stone and ink, mounted on metal panels. My self-imposed challenge is to see if I can take the idea and create at least one card, using only supplies currently owned. Since there is bound to be trial and error here, I am allowing myself two weeks. At that time I promise to post my results if I haven't done so sooner. After all it is better to have tried and failed than to never try at all.
Parting thoughts as I love them both:

DeleteSounds intriguing ......clock's tickin'.....tick-tock-tick......x
ReplyDeleteDo you know what?....I saw some stones or pebbles, call them what you like, a couple of weeks back that also intrigued me. They were covered in tiny little micro beads in patterns that the instant I saw these pictures made me think of them. I cannot even remember where I saw them but same deal stored the idea away with the thought of one day giving it a go. They were just as amazing in the originality and creativity as these. Now I am thinking you could maybe some kind of foiling technigue (not that I have any idea how to do that.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see what you come up with
ReplyDeleteWell, that is very interesting to say the least. I'm not sure how I would go about creating the design into a card. hmm
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty tho. ;)
