Since one of my demo assignments for Ranger is pigment inks...
I wanted to have all new samples to show @ my demo table...
I wanted them to have a fresh new-ish look...
Let me tell you...this was a TOTAL inky blast...
There are LOTS of different ways to use the pigment inks...
They provide complete opaque coverage, if you apply them directly to a surface...
or you can do this...
my favorite...
this looked spring-ish...
makes me happy!
you best be sitting down!
Katie's dressform banner...will make you drool...
the giant birdcage...OMG AMAZING...
and Lisa has a mini hanging...
that I just may swipe...
it's brown & VERY classy vintage looking...
I know just where I'd hang it!
Caroline is also showing their stamps today...
She sent me these...and you know me...
I saw FLOWERS!
My sample...
You might spot a FATSO album there too...
what is wrong with me?
I talked to me before I started & reminded myself...
it's small...
keep it fairly flat...don't overdo it...
Didn't work...
The little cutie is about 2 1/2 x 6 inches or so...
small & VERY CUTE...
when I got done with it...
the little cutie weighed in @ about 80 pounds...
Oh well...that's what happens when you...
make art!
wendy
ps..more tomorrow!
TALK TO ME!

OMG Wendy. Absolutely awesome!!! The flower in Believe doesn't look like it was made with grungepaper??? Is it? Love Love Love the spirograph stamps. I bought a spirograph set a couple of years ago to use on some pages for my nieces and nephews books. It sure brings back memories of when I was young!! lol
I'm off today for Uncle Martin's birthday lol so I think I will have some time to play...
Take care and have fun!!!
I am a talking I love it all. I love what you did with the new stamps/flowers, how awesome are they. I can't wait to have some of this new stuff in my hands. Off to Maya's now, keep talking.
I love your heart too! But the flower on believe is SOOooo beautiful! Totally awesome samples Wendy! TFS
The heart project is also my favorite. I am LOVING what you did with the Caroline stamp! I have a stamp that is similar to that & never thought to use it like a background stamp. You rock! :)
Oh, wow! Lovin' the show samples...are we thinkin' some SPRING?! 'Cuz I am!! I am so over this white business on the ground and you're going to CA! Don't leave me behind! LOL!!
Hey, I'm loving those MR stamps ... reminds me of my childhood (does that date me?! OY!).
When are you leaving? Have a great show - good luck with everything! xo
Wendy -
Love what you've done with the pigment inks, awesome (as the kids say)! LOL! I'd like to be a fly in your studio when you create. Do you talk to yourself also? I do, they say its a sign of genius. I don't know who "they" are, but if they say it, its gotta be true!
I finally got a chance after a few weeks to get back in my studio on Sunday and play a bit. I had a blast, really missed it. Yes I made art!

Thanks to you (I think) I too now look at everything to see if it can become a flower, be used as a flower or can it be used as a center for a flower or a stem or a leaf. I've gone to the other side. LOL Thanks for sharing!
OMG OMG they are all so fab. I used to love my spirograph... the spiro-flowers are beautiful. I think the heart is possibly my favourite... or no, wait... lol!
OMJ this are outstanding loving that flower in believe and the heart what is not cute about that?
Your stamp flowers are over the top which is perfect!
I love how you did the flowers from those stamps! They look amazing!

MR has really outdone themselves this year.
Those spirograph flowers are amazing, LOVE how you used them...very striking! Looking forward to watching your demo's at CHA!
Love your samples! I was sitting when I looked, I mean drooled at MR stuff. I think the stamps you got not only say flowers but I totally was brought back to being about 8 with my spirograph. Did you have one? So much fun!! Nice flashback. :-)

Love the tags the flowers remind me of my spirograph set I had as a child :)
I hope you share some techniques you used for the pigment inks once you get back home. I LOVE those new stamps on the flowers...I never would have thought of that!
Wonderful tags!!! Can't wait to see all the new releases soon.. VERY soon, right???!!!!!

The Maya Road stuff this year is to die for ... in fact so is everything I have seen ... I just wish I was going!
I love love love that scalloped bit on the bottom of your tags ... a great touch!
Weather here is still very grey and there is nothing much on the telly either ... guess I will go and make art too ... there .... enough talk now some action ... Keep these yummy samples coming Mrs V ... am loving every minute XXX

OMG...I so love the flower stamps that you got to play with. They remind me of my favorite childhood toy...the spirograph. Man, I loved that thing. They also resemble the string art from the 70's (minus the small nails or pins). LOVE them!!! Hisses, Rockin Robin Caldwell
I'm getting out my pigment inks right away! Loved everything in all the photos especially the black and white flowers!
Oh, wow!!! These are all so VERY cool!!! And to make flowers with the spiro stamps??? How cool! The colors on your Ranger demos - BEAUTIFUL!!! Are you going to share the "how" with us after CHA? Pretty please?!?!? I love all of the color combos!
I'm glad someone was so productive over the weekend! Art-wise, it sure wasn't me. ;o)
You are SO going to WAY "wow" everyone at CHA, Wendy!
Love these samples! The flowers are stunning. Those new stamps of Maya Road, must be a take on the ole Spirograph, I loved that thing. Played with it all the time. (maybe I still do...lol) Your samples are fantastico.
Your samples ROCK!! You are a wild & inky woman! When are you lifting off for CHA? Hope you are going to give updates while you are there. Behind the Scenes are always fun to see. Thank you for the inspiration & encouragement to make our own art!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Hi Wendy! Love your tags, and am ESPECIALLY lovin' your stamps! I've been doing a lot of zentangling these days, and these stamps remind me of them *smiles*
Loving it all! My tax return will be spent as soon as the CHA releases are available.Of all the sneak peaks I am most impressed with your new stamps and Tim's inks and sizzix line. I can't wait!
Hm... wondering how you achieved that background with the pigment inks??? They are beautiful!
The tags are gorgeous. I want your job to be payed to play with all this new stuff. KH
My favourite is that first yellow flower :) Yummy, yummy layers, and what a gorgeous hint of spring :)
Wonderful samples.
I really like the flower on the third tag. and then the stamps you made into flowers were ingenious.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
I'm a little bit lost here. Well, not here, but with the ins: what is the difference between a dye ink and a pigment ink???? I'm confused. Could you just explain it in a few words? Pretty puleeeze.

Sue

Wow! WOW! W O W ! ! !
Love all the flowers!
Thanks for the sneaks and inspiration!
Sandra
Your samples are wonderful! It just amazes me how all the different companies things work together so well. I'd love some help with using the different kinds of inks too. Once I started buying distress inks, all the rest got stuck in the back of the shelf.
I love all the flowers and especially the ones done with the spiro stamps ... I think I need to win a lottery!!!
Wow!!Wendy I am new to your site and I am glad I dropped by Love the flowers.......I need to get some of your stamps pronto!!! Thanks for sharing
Lori Halt
That creative mind of yours must be on overdrive. All the samples are yummy. I especially love the yellow flower, red heart and the scalloped edges. Can't tell if the heart is chipboard or stamped grungepaper. Do tell!
Wendy,
These tags are DARLING!! Do I spy new ink colors? Love, love, love these. As busy as you must be now, I can't believe you are still taking the time to share, but thank you for doing it!
Susan
Cool! Spiro-graph style flowers!
spirograph!!!! i loved my spirograph! wish i still had it.
these stamps will be a must.
Loving those tags, especially their bottoms!
I need to win the lotto to buy all the Maya Rd goodies as they are scrummy xx
You keep amazing us every day. How does one person turn out so much loveliness everyday. Confess...You have Santa's elves in YOUR workshop now.
Yippppppeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Love the look with the pigment ink!!Can you tell us what techniques you used to get these effects??
Really love the heart with the small flower on it!!!!!
Thanks for sharing with us!!!
Such beautiful samples! Do you ever sleep?
How about some technique tutorials for the pigment inks after CHA?
Well, as long as you're not sleeping anyway, how much trouble could that be? Don't hit!
Eileen in NYC
Beautiful!!! And, yes, very Spring-ish!!!! Love it!!!
How fab are those colours. They really are spring like. And the flowers made with the spirograph stamps are stunning. I really like that effect.
Will you show us this pigment ink technique or is it in your book? Can't wait to see a photo of the 80 pounder!
Ooh ooh! I love the flowers you made with the graphic stamps! You can turn anything into a great flower!!
Absolutely love all the examples you showed us! The spirograph (yes I remember spriographs so I'm dating myself!) flowers are awesome. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
just wanted to say that I love the yellow you are putting in your art these days!
