Check out the February Challenge at CreativeEmbellishments.com/blog. The twist this month is to use the Ombre Effect. Here is my take on the challenge: For the March challenge, I altered a muffin tin from the dollar store and went chippie crazy. This was so much fun to make. I rusted then grunged out the tray using crackle paint, spiced marmalade distress stain and using texture stamps including the distress crackle stamp. At the top of the tray, I used the Steampunk Heart. In the cups in back of most of the images I used pieces of the harlequin and chicken wire panels. For the cups starting at the top left: Love true - I created the ombre effect over the three hearts using alcohol inks on metal charms; the dress form is Prima and the wings and sentiment are Tim Holtz; Let the love flow - I used the distress crackle stamp to distress the pipework chippies. To get the metal effect on the chippies I added DecoArt aged patina paint and finished off with some aged embossing powder; Steampunk heart with gears in various sizes; The image on the bottom is from Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante. I used gears and a heart from Petaloo and I am roses.; for the last compartment I used a feather and a prima nest and sign, and a TH bird charm. Close-ups of each of the compartments:

"A wise owl lived in an oak. The more he saw the less he spoke. The less he spoke the more he heard. Why aren't we like that wise old bird?" Unknown author I recently joined a Facebook group called Ornation Creation, where the very talented Ben Kwok posts weekly templates (mostly animals, but also some other things) for us to tangle. I completed my first one, an owl, this past week. It took some time to complete, partly because the hardest part was deciding which tangles to use where, so that it didn't look too busy. Here's the owl completed, but without any shading. Next, as I began to shade, I decided that since the owl is symmetrical, I would shade one half and post a picture so you can see the difference. You can see it, can't you? (Just in case you can't, the left side is shaded and the right is not). Then I completed the shading and decided to color the eyes. I wish I had looked at photos of owls before doing the eyes, because if I had, the eyes would be yellow! Oh well. Although it was not a quick little project, I enjoyed doing it and am happy with the result (except for those green eyes!) I have the zebra template printed and all ready to tangle...in between some other projects I'm working on.
OMG ITS Hedwig!!! Nah its just some other grumpy snow owl :-) The 4th design for my New upcoming neckalces. Im very proud of this one because I managed to exaggerate the features in a way i normally wouldnt without realizing it. its one of those drawings where, if you dont look at it for a while you come back and are like, "WTF WHO DREW THAT?" But before i pat myself on the back too much there is a real possibility that i might hate this in 5 years... we'll see ;-) Photoshop CS2 Texture: Premium Pixels
