ok...due to some questions/emails...
I have to finish the story about yesterday's post...
this concerns Lady Dy...
while the Ranger booth was being set up @ CHA,
Lady Dy was working on her art journal...
she mentioned something about looking for her "kitchen roll".
DUH...
I thought she was hungry & told her the Ranger guys always bring us snacks...
but, little did I know that Lady Dy was referring to...
a roll of paper towels!
so that became our standing joke for the entire CHA...
we laughed about kitchen rolls...
because of the blizzard in Chicago,
I was delayed for a day coming home from CHA
& had plenty of time to think...
I got to wondering what she called toilet paper...
so I emailed & asked...
her response...
"why toilet paper of course.
what did you think we'd call it?"
my response...
a butt roll...
kitchen roll...
butt roll...
made perfect sense to me...
so if you've seen the bantering back & forth
on Facebook & Twitter about the "shimmy butt roll"...
that's the story & I'm stickin to it...
I have some quite lovely normal British friends...
and there's Lady Dy!
I LOVE her dearly!
she makes me laugh...
moving on...
here's my designer challenge for Ranger...
it's featured on Ranger's blog today...
if you've not visited there this week, scroll down & see all 20 creations...
we were each given a 12 x 12 wood frame with a black foamcore insert, Perfect Pearls and more Ranger goodness...
our mission was to create art within the frame
& to feature Perfect Pearls...
I started by adhering a giant vintage dictionary page to grungepaper...
I applied the adhesive randomly, so that when I misted it with water & heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist the dictionary paper would buckle & look really dimensional...
I tore several spots & curled them...
for more texture & a vintage effect...
I misted the wood frame with espresso color wash & spread it with a piece of Cut N Dry foam...
the color washes are great on unfinished wood...
very quick & simple...
& then I randomly stamped my fav medicine bottle stamp, using jet black archival...
I finished the frame by misting it with heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist...
when I misted the entire piece with heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist...
I held the frame upright to create drips of shimmer on the paper...
sad to say the photos don't show the pearls...
you'll see lots of art parts...
those were stamped with jet black archival...
the book is a vintage book from an antique mall...
the vintage glasses were found there too...
I glued the book shut & wired it to the foamcore, so it would be nice & sturdy...
tim's trimmings ribbon was misted with espresso color wash & heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist & then stamped with text, using jet black archival...
I LOVE the combo of espresso color wash & heirloom gold PP...
oh...that vintage pen nib was an antique mall find too...
here's my piece...
it's die cut from my new Clearly for ART BLACKOUT...
using tim's tattered florals die...
then it's stamped with my polka dot background & the plaid background too...
using the gold paint dabber for both...
tim's giant accoutrement bling button made the perfect center...
I LOVE it especially with BLACKOUT...
I promised to suck up to the Ranger guys...
tim, Alain & Justin @ CHA...
and it worked!
I'm happy to report...
SUCCESS...
I scored these...
I have 12 BRAND NEW tim holtz distress stains to give to a lucky someone...

And the distress stains to die for! Thanks Wendy

Wendy, you are such an inspiration. Somedays I don't want to visit your blog because i know I won't have time to create art that day. I can't wait until the Ranger stains(along with all the other cool Tim stuff) hit the stores here in Oregon!
ReplyDeleteWendy, your frame project is lovely as usual!! And I'm quite excited to get my hands on the distress stains; they almost look good enough to eat!! I had a good laugh at your "roll" jokes; Geo. Bernard Shaw was so RIGHT about American & English uses of our common language. Words are SO much fun. Thanks for so many different forms of fun on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if someone else mentioned it already, but in the UK we also called toilet paper 'bog roll' - thought you might want to include that in your Twitter banter at some point! lol
ReplyDeleteFabulous project :) as always I am reading down the list of wonderful things and can't wait to see the pic! The glasses really look great :)
Always inspired by the Ranger pieces, so thank you. Hoping to play with the Ranger stains Friday when I get to do a Tim class in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first post to your blog...but...I've been reading it for over a year now and LOVE your art!!! You inspire me!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Art Parts and Clearly for Art!!!
Thanks for all you do to "educate" us and "enable" us to create art!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh the messes I can make with all that stain!! I will need kitchen roll and butt roll to clean it all up. What fun - I so enjoy your stories, your creations, and Rick...yep we love you too.
ReplyDeleteLovely frane Wendy, so vintage looking,
ReplyDeleteI am already dreaming about owning the new stains, trying to justify buying them on next months wages
so I would love to go in tyo the draw.
Kat.
Would love a chance to get my hands on those stains, & I love the wrinkled look of your dictionary page
ReplyDeletemy goodness what a great project, love the glasses added such a great look to the finished piece. Too funny about the "kitche roll" and "butt roll"
ReplyDeletethanks for a chance at another wonderful Ranger product!!
Oooo, a whole set of the new Distress stains! That would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your art piece, especially the glasses. :-)
Kitchen roll is so versatile and when it's finished I put it in the rubbish bin. I try avoid spraying ink on my trousers but would never get it on my pants. I put money in my purse and that inside my handbag. Celebrate the differences.
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome piece of art you made!!!!
ReplyDeleteWendy your art work is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration!, and for "sucking up" to the Ranger guys for the giveaway!LOL

ReplyDeleteI would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those stains! They look awesome!
Wow. Not only do we get to SEE the project, but we get a personal account of its creation.
ReplyDeleteNow I need some STAINS so I can, as you say, make ART!
A set of 12! Wow what a giveaway! I was pretty excited about getting just a couple! No stress over deciding what color to choose!!!! Love the framed piece you did...great finds at the antique mall! Thanks for all the sharing you do!
ReplyDeleteLove these stains...I can imagine all kinds of ways to use these in paper art creations!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy , I would love to be considered for these wonderful products. :)
