Tuesday musing .



Hello everyone who calls in today, its
 Tuesday and it T day over at Bleubeard and Elizabeths,

where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post
I  am sharing a hybrid page today


Yesterday wasn't a good light for photos here but I wanted to share with you the hands on messy beginnings and the clean digital finishing of  the page.
Above on the left you can see some of the number   stencil I used with the  painted background,   and a  die cut clock, which I covered with silver wax.
  After a good rummage I had  found my lost jar  of gilding wax. which had gone very hard. It was either throw it out[never an option for me, there has to be a solution] So with nothing to loose I took the lid off and gave it a few seconds whirl in the microwave.  
  Yes, it worked or maybe I was just lucky.

At this stage it was over to the computer, with the mug of tea not  a  posh one like  you see on the journal page I was creating
 or this one I had  in a cafe a few weeks ago.
 I had to use both hands to pick it up it was so heavy.



I will also  be linking the page with Art Journal Journey where I am hosting this months
 theme of Words and Numbers. Lots of numbers in the background, how could we tell the time without them. 

However you spend your day I hope it will be a good one for you

  4. This is a giant mug of tea, but perfect for these wintery days. We have more snow here, so a mug of tea up in the studio later for me sounds just the thing. Love the latest page. If only time would stand still for a bit, but it doesn't seem to want to do that at all. Happy T day Yvonne. Hugs--Erika

  11. What an amazing offering today, dear Yvonne. You are outdoing yourself at Art Journal Journey. This is a remarkable entry. I love the clock die and the gilding wax. You were VERY lucky. Good for you. Now continue to use it before it dries out again (grin). The end project was incredible, and goes so well with both your hosting at Art Journal Journey and T this Tuesday. That was ONE BIG CUP of tea at the restaurant, too. Thanks for sharing your incredible art with us at both AJJ and T this Tuesday, dear friend.

  17. Well rescued Yvonne, those waxes can be a pain when they go hard I never thought to put them in the microwave I'll try and remember that. It works very well on the clock face, a beautiful page. I could do with time standing still right now, there's really not enough hours in the day. Hugs Tracey xx

  18. Thanks for the process shots, so interesting always. And thanks for that tip about the stuff in pots that dry out, I have several unopened ones so I shall remember the microwave. Hope your weekend is behaving for you! xoxo
