FROM RED TO BLUE

My problem with crafting is the fact I get distracted I can be doing a project and then I read or see something and I have to have a go. And so it was today while watching a you tube video I saw a link on dyeing with natural items.Red cabbage was the demo now normally I would not drop everything to have a go but yesterday I had thrown out a red cabbage.  I rescued it from the compost cut it up and boiled for 30 mins.Now on the demo the dyed fabric was a beautiful violet my fabric came out more of a grey shade so as a crafter never wastes anything I decided to put different papers in the water. The results may have been messy but quite a nice colour.

 Day 20 prompt MY FRONT DOOR

I gave it some thought and decided to take a photo of my front door and alter it with Picasa and Picnik. This was fun and I was able to go a little crazy with the Sizzix it turned out very bright.

WATERCOLOUR

Todays prompt was Bonny Bluebells and I decided to do a watercolour using watercolour and drawing inks I was really pleased with the result. I love the combination of colours.
