Happy Daze challenge - try something new

Happy Daze have a great challenge - try something new.
What better way to start the new year - and a great kick up the posterior for me to actually join the fun with some challenges.  To join in follow this link  http://happydazedesignteam.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-challenge-for-2012-try-something.html

A couple of new year hangers - I haven't done birds before and I had some new art moulds to play with, so I gathered these bits together and thought of doing wall hangings as I haven't done any. Materials are listed below the pictures.  Note the bird is coated in platinum crackle paint and the paint has lifted the ink colour, this was a serendipitous incident many months ago and I love doing it.


Heart - art mould by Krafty Lady, Roses - Kabuka art mould
Base colour -  Plum Twist Cosmic Shimmer ink
Viva Croco crackling colour paint - Platinum - work it into the bird to lift the ink colour
Varnish - Glossy Accents - to stop the paint chipping off!
Highlight colour on clay mouldings - Inka gold paint - Silver, Viva Decor
Birds - from Santa!
Heart mould - Krafty Lady - Heart Plaque and roses - Karantha art mould in Delight air dry clay
Beads and wire and heart charms. The second picture has jewelry from a car boot find.
