GINGERSNAP CREATIONS RIBBON CHALLENGE

Congratulations to incredibly talented craft friend Nicks http://www.nicksartystuff.blogspot.com/ for her Monthly Muse appointment by Gingersnap Creations http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/ and her first fabulous feature art piece and tutorial .

Wow, what a great site and I love the fact they have challenges that are 3 weeks long for those of us who are busy with work and other irrelevances and irritants such as dust and creased clothes that keep us out of the craft room!

I saw the Spicy Supply Challenge GC134 to use Ribbon... Ribbon???? oh yes.. that strange massed ball of stuff in a drawer that hides in silent protest at my treatment and neglect thereof!

 I have craft friends who would be having a coronary seeing this or on their way here to sort it out and make it all nice, but I don't really use ribbon as ribbon, it gets terribly mistreated in my work. I find this mixture of textiles rather creative and inspirational actually.....!!

Here is my ribbonfest entry, chiffon ribbon 'aged' with the help of the heatgun to curl and create holes in the ribbon.

 All very simply done with some clay moulded figures, paint in sand and bronze colours, paint wash mix, tissues and a heat gun.

To see the site and other challenges the link is in the beginning of this post or click the banner in the right hand column, it is a most excellent blog that I shall be following with keen interest now that I have found it. There is a wealth of talent, interest and a lot of tutorials to explore.
Enjoy!
