SMUDGY ANTICS..... HURRY...HURRY....

We have a great challenge going on the SMUDGY ANTIC blog at the moment...... so hurry, hurry, any of you who like to do something that little bit different..... as the theme is........


UP IN FLAMES


We're going to let you play with fire this week! Channel your inner pyro and burn, singe, or scorch a project. Or, take the challenge and use it as a theme, it's your choice.

I played with my 'burnie' tool..... and a lighter ( for the latter i did stand at the kitchen sink as i wasnt sure how quickly this old veneer would burn!)



I used the rubber set LONELY BOY, from SMEARED INK, stamped using very pale grey( i just wanted to be able to see the image) onto oak veneer ( borrowed from my grandads shed.... he used to do marquetry) cut to atc size.


I then burned all the line detail in using my 'burnie tool' with a fine point attached.... then i tried to shade in some more detail using a small ball tip...... the one of Lonely boy...alone.... sounds strange hey?.... i painted around him with cream acrylic.... as i'd boobed a bit with some of the lines.......

....and i painted in all the whites of the eyes as the oak was to dark for eye-balls.

When i'd done with my little tool.... i stood at the sink and used the lighter to burn the edges.... this wood has to be nearly antique.... it burned so fast.... glad i was at the sink!......

It would be great if you could come and join in this week but be quick...times running out!.... and somewhere on your piece you must have a SMEARED INK IMAGE....either digi or rubber.... either will do.

I shall enter this set of atcs into the following challenges....
