Catching Up

 

Wet weather has given me time to catch up with swaps.

The Owl  which I made for the swap over at  http://milliande.ning.com will be flying the nest tomorrow.

I should call him Sizzix as i used various Sizzix dies to cut the shapes from aluminium and tin. The wings are coloured with alcohol inks ,and the body and mount is cut from mount board and embossed with embossing folders.

The leaves were also cut from tin and embossed .

I have also finished the ATCs for the windows swap hosted by Patty also at  http://milliande.ning.com

This was my original plan IMG_5575

They were cut with a Sizzix Pro die and actually as you can see are the same height as a ATC. They do fold to fit but were a little bulky so I decided on another design.

Three of these are on the way to Las Vegas

I have made them like stained glass windows and can be hung in a window to catch the light.
