Sheena's Fantasy Paints

Good Morning Everyone
so back to the Fantasy paints  yes they work beautifully on flat surfaces
i set myself a challenge to push these paints as far as i could
would they go onto round surfaces ?
with alot of patience  Yes They will !!!!

08-P1050896
you have to do the outline first let it dry then do one section at a time allowing the paint to settle and form a sort of skin
before you move around the jar to the next section
you can speed up the drying using your heat gun (the hairdryer one)
but go easy or you will bubble your leading
i think it worked very well

you could even  recycle your jam jars to make some little tea light holders for your garden
i think they would look so pretty on a summer evening dotted around just attach a wire hanger once dry the paints are set solid so no fear of them peeling off the glass

Back to Nature

Good Morning Everyone
im all caught up on samples  so i had some me time
with my needle felting
it’s been years since i made my first needle felting project a miniature jointed teddy that i gave to my mum …
i had to search for my box of wool tops …trust me that’s a story for another day lol
i decided to make this  last night
My Little Acorn

1-P1050958
made from 100% British wool with  crystal German glass glitter for the frost effect
i gave it a blast with the spray and shine
from crafters companion to seal the glitter and stiffen the top
im now sporting a lovely plaster on my finger lol
after stabbing myself with the needle a few times but hey i had fun making it..
well worth the pain

Fantasy Pendant and earing's

Hi there everyone
back with more Jewellery this time made with Mount Board  and Fantasy Paints
i cut the Jigsaw shape using a spellbinder jigsaw die then punched in the hole
Dripped the Pearl paint straight on top  with a cocktail stick
i found i had more control applying the paint this way

it doesn't flow over the edges  as you would think it would
then dropped in the rose colour and gave it a swirled with a cocktail stick
   left it to settle then placed in the clear gems once they dry they are held fast

2-P10509521-P1050955

once dry i coated the back of each piece with spray and shine  from Crafters Companion to seal them
  added the jump rings and findings
just imagine if you had an old jigsaw puzzle  Why not transform them into jewellery 
thank you for popping by today

Fantasy Paints With Sheena Douglass

Wow  it’s been killing me not to spill the beans
i got to play with some new Crafting Goodies the Fantasy paints and stamps
coming your way  very very soon
From
Sheena Douglass
on the 27th over on Create and Craft TV
Sheena still can't travel long distances after her Operation so the lovely Leann  from Crafters Companion 
will be doing the TV  Launch as a Sheena Stand in bless her ...
here is a card using one of the new stamps to accompany the paints

01-P1050907

P1050911close up
so what are these paints …. i hear you ask …. all i can say is they are Magical….  they will go onto any surface
there are no brushes involved you drop the paints into the area and let it do it’s thing
you get some stunning effects  either on there own or by mixing the colours
they do take longer to dry than the fusion paints but honestly
it’s well worth the wait they dry rock hard ….don’t crack even on acetate
i found myself just watching the paints react with each other  lol
i truly can't express how lovely these paints are… my pictures do not do the paints justice
i do hope you will tune in for the Launch
