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
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteI love your heart too! But the flower on believe is SOOooo beautiful! Totally awesome samples Wendy! TFS
ReplyDeleteThe 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! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!!
ReplyDeleteHey, 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 -
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
Elaine Allen
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!
ReplyDeleteOMG 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!

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.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers and especially the ones done with the spiro stamps ... I think I need to win a lottery!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!!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
ReplyDeleteLori 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!
ReplyDeleteWendy,
ReplyDeleteThese 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

ReplyDeleteHow 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!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fab are those colours. They really are spring like. And the flowers made with the spirograph stamps are stunning. I really like that effect.
ReplyDeleteWill you show us this pigment ink technique or is it in your book? Can't wait to see a photo of the 80 pounder!
ReplyDeleteOoh ooh! I love the flowers you made with the graphic stamps! You can turn anything into a great flower!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely 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.
ReplyDeletejust wanted to say that I love the yellow you are putting in your art these days!
