This is the pre 'shooshing it up' pic... its a nice picture and I love the big M and the sentiment but it looks odd... shouldn't the M stand out and the rest be more laid back?
So here is the work desk... and given the subject I think I should get points for neatness!!
So here is the finished piece... I love those Graphic 45 Steam Punk Debutante papers, they are stunning! I threw some bling at it, inked some little Mayo Road chipboard dressmaker dummies, added some gears and beads and lace and chain etc... I think it 'shoosed' up quite well!! (Now to explain to Chris what happened to the picture he bought me for the scrap room.....)!! I did meet with one problem... I hadn't taken into account that the frame was flat and I merrily made it all very 3D and then it wouldn't fit without squashing the butterflies etc.... so I had to cut some lengths of chipboard and turn it into a shadow box!
Stunning, and I'm sure Chris will love the shooshing you have given it.

I was just on my way to your blog when I saw it posted, then thought I'd better check mine, and LO and BEHOLD, you had already been there. Gosh. I need to get more on the ball, considering we are both in about the same time zones now.
ReplyDeleteYep, shooshing is a great word. Describes it perfectly.
You know I'm not a scrapbooker, but I fell in LOVE with Graphic 45 the minute I laid my eyes on the first pieces I saw. I have yet to see the steampunk line, but I've loved everything else they've put out. Their graphics are to die for and YES, I bought the page of tags that had the rocking horse on it!
Anyway, I adore your altered picture. You did a stunning job and I'm in love with it. Has Chris seen it since its redo? How long will he be staying? OK, I'm rambling and must get to many other desks that are actually in the order of their linky entry. Do I need to leave my number (BIG GRIN)?
I love this frame. Shooshing - all the best people do it! Have a great day. (19)

Love your picture - what a good idea to use chipboard to make the frame into a shadow box - I hunted high and low for my shadow boxes for ages! Sunshine Girl (28)

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, A.xx(38)
Because I'm so late, I've had the chance to read about your doings with more Graphics 45 stuff - good grief your work is lovely. YOu should submit it to them - I'm sure they need people like you. Meanwhile, LOVE what you did with Chris' picture - totally with you about the M. The difference between us is that you sorted it out sraight away. I'd have hung on the wall and talked about it for a couple of years!
ReplyDeleteYour have an amazing imagination! Great piece.
