Digital Tuesday Challenge #18: 'Bling'

This week's challenge at Digital Tuesday Challenge is 'BLING'. I went a bit overboard. :) Santa is a digi-stamp by Dustin Pike and can be found here. I used iridescent glue for his skin and moustache. Everything else is glitter glue. I continued the Santa motif with a tea bag motif accented with a rhinestone. The message came from a freebie at Fred, She Said.

EDM Challenge #19

Draw something you have made. This is a work-in-progress of a Goddess doll. I still have beading to do, but the fabric pattern looked too fun not to try. This is done in Pitt pens with no preliminary sketch. I am trying to loosen up in my sketching again. I have been doing so much finished work I need to let myself loosen up in the sketch book.



I made the cross in a technique called tea bag folding. It originated in Holland with decorative pouches holding tea bags. Since we don't have things like that in the States, aretists create tiles that can be printed out and used in the technique.
