The focus of the challenge was Claudine's studio line of products. We were each given all of Claudine's paints, multimediums, gesso, sticky back canvas and this 7 x 10 paper mache base.
Here are the colors that I was immediately drawn to...
The instructions were to..."create a home". It could not be any longer/larger than 18 inches & it had to hang on the wall for display.
Here are the results...sorry for the terrible photo...but I hope you can get an idea of the diversity of the submissions. I'll check around & see if someone has a better photo.
Here's a better look @ mine. Sorry for the glare...there is a transparency behind the window.
The roof frame is a really cool vintage ruler that I picked up @ an antique store in Prescott, Az.
The base of the house, the roof & the door are all sticky back canvas, which I painted with Claudine's paints. Next, I stamped the pieces using studio 490 stamps and I also used 2 of my favorite tim stamps, also from Stampers Anonymous.
I knew I HAD to add flowers...and some other stamped grungeboard to add more dimension to the house. What's a project without flowers?
This challenge was great & it was very interesting to see that we each started with the same ingredients, but ended with very different results.
Now back to the FREE studio 490 STAMPS...
I heard from KAT...CONGRATS...but I'm still waiting for the grand prize winner to contact me.
If I don't hear from you...I'll choose another winner tomorrow morning. Details in the previous post...
It's another frigid day here in Illinois, but the studio is nice & warm, so I think I'll head that way &...
Make art!

Fab house Wendy!! Don't you just love that bloke with the brolly, he looks right at home among the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the houses. I sat and stared to see if I could figure out which one was yours. Sadly, enough I was wrong, but pleasantly surprised when I saw which one was yours. Great job and for the others in on the challenge. Very creative.

ReplyDeleteYour house is grungy goodness! I am wonder - what's behind the door - I see the hinge and the door knob so there has to be something inside right??? I like how you incorporated Tim's Rain Man into you house setting and, of course, the flowers are all you!!!
ReplyDeleteWendy, I love your house and how you used your favorite leaves and Tim's Rain Man. And of course the house number had to be 490! So much talent!
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness. Those are too fun. I LOVE yours....
ReplyDeleteFantabulous! Who knew you liked blue? :-) Don't you just love seeing how others take the same ingredients & make such different pieces?!
ReplyDeleteHate to tell you, it was sunny (again) & 81 here today.
