Morning Folks!
Yipppee, it's the weekend!
We have a new challenge over at SPARKLES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE today and the theme is:
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
We'd like to see decorations on your makes or you could make a decoration.
I've tried something crafty that I've never done before - decopatch. I saw this being done at a craft fair before Christmas last year, bought all the stuff needed and then ran out of time. So here better late than never and appropriate for this challenge is Rudolph:
I had great fun making this, it's very relaxing just sticking the little bits of paper on - it reminded me of doing paper mache as a kid! I really like the way this came out, it's hard to see in the photo but the paper has a metallic hint about it and this looks a bit bronze like. I think it might make a nice table ornament. I debated for ages about adding eyes but I just didn't have the right thing, googly eyes are not the way to go. I might add something later but for now he is CAS!

ReplyDeleteJacky, I think Rudolph is a perfect ornament and you did a wonderful job creating him. Isn't it fun creating things that remind us of our childhood. A very nice ornament.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative take on our Sparkles challenge... and such a fabulous Christmas decoration! So glad you finally got around to that kit of yours. :)
ReplyDeleteWow Jacky I am loving your ornament. Looks so effective. I didn't realise it was decopatching. Would love to try it sometime soon. One day maybe. You've inspired me. Hugs.
