I caught a Fairy, Jim Holtz Alcohol Ink... Try it, You'll Like it...

My finished Birdie.... Before Birdie... It had a few little chips on it!

Ask for another markdown! My finished BOWL of ChatterBlocks!

During... Because I forgot (like so many times) to take the picture before I started!

Jim Holtz Alcohol Ink

I want to use this "stuff" on everything and anything that I can find! I love it.... I have used it on wood, paper, metal, concrete, plastic... In other words~ It seems to love anything that you apply it to! The finished effect can be anything that your little fingers can dab out~ Yes, I end up using a cotton ball instead of the stamper that comes with it. I just like the effects that the cotton ball gives me! When you first see it on the stand at the craft store, you think to yourself~ "Self, what is this stuff and why is it so pricey for these little bitty bottles?" Being the curious monkey that I am, I had to purchase it, bring it home and try it out. It became one of my favorites immediately! And surprisingly, the little bottle goes on and on and on and on... Just like that EverReady bunny thing. So... the price is a bargain after all!

This is a product that I highly recommend to any artist or crafter. Go to Hobby Lobby, buy yourself some and a little birdie while you are at it (make sure it is 50% off).

YOU will be amazed at the transformation!

Question for my artist and crafting chickadees~

Have you tried this product and what wonderful projects have you made from it?

Also.... Today I will get finished moving into my little "NOOK" at Vintage Village in Snellville!

Tomorrow will bring pictures of a finished little shelving unit,

including this little Fairy that I caught right before I was leaving to go today!

A New Adventure & Hobby Lobby Re-do....

Trumpets Please....

Announcing the Arrival of

The Charm House to Vintage Village!!!

I finally made the decision to take the jump and make the first baby step into the real world of "retail"! And it is a big decision based on FAITH for me! I am counting on the Good Lord to take me though it all!

I am so grateful to Debbie at the Vintage Village for being so encouraging and helpful to make this decision an easy and simple one. When I first walked in the door, it felt like home. Each girl decorates their booth with so much care, love and HEART. I knew this is where I wanted to place my ART! It would find its home here with all of the other wonderful vintage trinkets and treasures that I used to create it! I looked and searched for a year, trying to find anywhere or some little place that I felt my art would fit in.

God knew this would be it.

His place, in His timing!

I know this will be a Good Thing ~

Because

God is Good ~ All the Time!

And Now for another Hobby Lobby Re-do~

One of their Concrete pieces 50% off

Of course I had to change the colors using Jim Holtz Alcohol Inks

Colors Caramel, Stream and Ginger

I used a cosmetic wedge sponge to apply the Alcohol Inks onto the piece.

I then used another cosmetic wedge sponge dabbing the timber brown StazOn Ink pad

and highlighting the high areas of the piece.

When finished to my liking, I applied a coat of spray varnish!

Hope you like!
