Favorite Colours

The Through the PurpleHaze Challege for this week made me a little hazy I can tell you...... my fave colours change so frequently .... well craft wise they do.... this teamed with the fact that I struggle to make cards meant I had to think harder than normal this week ad I decided to play completely outside the box and go with my fave colours to wear as jewellery and so that made it so much easier...... antique gold, peridot green and bronze..... so the pliers have been out and I made a complete set, Necklace, bracelet, ear rings and a bag charm...... yes sometimes when I start I just don't know when to stop ......... My love of beads is all back again ad for anyone who has visited my little blog before you might notice the improvements have begun...... at a slightly reduced and more sedate pace than the jewellery....... pliers and beads ad I get a little carried away....... buttons and techno..... sometime, someday and I am adding to the must do sometime list is taking better photographs.....the last one will make any member of my immediate family giggle hysterically   :) x Jayne x through the Purple Haze challenge

One womans junk is another womans treasure....... oh yes!

Well another week and another challenge from Through the Purple Haze....... I used an old frame I picked up in the local charity shop for the princely sum of 30 pence, more old fizzy drink cans, Gesso, paint and a couple of brads ......... I don't often praise myself but I really love the results....... a very shabby christmas in July. In fact I am so happy with it I have been very brave and entered a second challenge at Anything But a Card..... which is in all fairness my kind of Challenge . This is to go with the still very shabby blog which I have done absolutely nothing about xx Jayne xx

It's not Purple, it's not hazy but it is (or at least it was) rubbish!


After being pressured (no names shall be mentioned) here is a little upcycled plaque I made for the Through the Purple Haze IndigoBlu challenge. Everything with the exception of the pearls was destined for the bin. It turned out absolutely nothing like what I started out to do but when I have paints I tend to go off at a tangent. I am not sure really what I am supposed to put about it as I'm pretty new to all this challenge malarky ..... the stamp is obviously IndigoBlu and also the flakes it is gilded with....... the flowers are metal cut from old drink cans, the plaque itself said something completely unfunny  and so unmemorable that once I had painted over it I have absolutely no recollection of it whatsoever. I need to go now and buy Blogger for dummies or something with equal informative powers so that I can bring badly updated blog kicking and screaming int the present day....... now that will be a real CHALLENGE!
