A little more Ruination!

More fun with the Andy Skinner Ruination book ;)

I've added to the layers and layers of paint.....I'm fairly happy with the edges now (afraid I went off piste with that Andy and did not follow instructions! LOL) and the general colour on the front and back as it looked a bit too blue before and has now got a nice green tinge ;)

Made the faux rusty element to be added soon....just as soon as I know I don't want to add to the paint on the book cover!!!

Done some stuff inside...and still wondering quite what to do next with that!!!

Thanks for looking and come back soon for the next stage....although I'm seeing my girl friends Friday evening for a fun night of shared take away and some wine to help one of our gang have a bit of fun after having had a big operation a few weeks ago...so won't get to do any more on this till maybe Sunday!!!

P.S. Can someone explain how come I had 428 views of my Kiss Kiss Kiss post when my normalish total is 50!!! Has is got something to do with the fact I did the original post from my smartphone? I did not even link to a challenge for it!
I have no clue....so any insite would be much appreciated :)

I have noticed a lot of odd stuff going on in the last couple of days....is it all to do with me having a smartphone now or is Google becoming a large scary juggernaut!

And can anyone explain to me quite what Google + is supposed to be...is it the equivalent of Facebook?
Why can't Blogger be the new Facebook? ROFL

More painty fun

More painty fun with the Andy Skinner Ruination book ;)

Layers and layers of paint.....Mmmm....great effect.

Love it. Can't share how it's done obviously, so you will just have to take the on-line class ;)

I can see me using this technique on lots of things. LOL

Thanks for looking and come back soon for the next stage.

Ruination again!

Still having fun with the Andy Skinner Ruination book ;)

I bought the normal sort of masking fluid that is white (my old bottle had dried up...well it has been a long time since I was doing a water colouring course at night school!!! LOL) but could see the benefit of having a coloured version for the technique taught....so decided to experiment and added a few drops of  Distress re-inker to it! :) Seems to do the trick! ;)

Just a word of warning.....it is fine for this technique as it all gets covered up with paint anyway...but if you want the layer underneath to be the original colour when it gets exposed it will have taken on a hint of the distress ink colour!

Thanks for looking and come back soon for the next stage.

Mmm Ruination!

Having fun with the Andy Skinner Ruination book ;)

I went to three different shops on Saturday that stocked the Acrylics mentioned in the class...and that takes some travelling miles round here!...but...in all of them the display stand had no mention of most of the specific colours!!!

So made a decision to get colours in different brands..but still not so easy, had to make an educated guess...in the end I got these....time will tell if they look similar!!!!
(Already had the white and the black)

So I made a start and this is the stage I'm at.

Thanks for looking and come back soon for the next instalment ;)

Ruination!

When Joanne told me she had signed up for this on-line workshop by Andy Skinner I was intrigued by the title!

"Book of Ruination" ;)

It appealed to my senses...don't you just love that word "Ruination"! LOL

So I signed up for it too...

...will have to get some supplies tomorrow so that I can make a start ;)
The link HTML above was supposed to go on my side bar but unfortunately it does not display correctly as it is too big! I'm picky about the look of my blog so I'm leaving it off!

I'll be sharing something for The Artistic Stamper tomorrow...
...come back and visit me then :)

xoxo Sioux

P.S. Unfortunately it does not look like I shall be ruined any day soon!
But I keep on hoping!! ROFLIA ;) ;)
