MLD Meme

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

Having finished a series of Munich holiday photos, I am now going to share photos from my New England holiday.  We got back on Monday this week.   I took over 800 photos so it's going to be hard to choose.

As we walked round Boston we found several pianos where people could just sit down and play.  Most of them were upright pianos but outside the Museum of Fine Arts there was a grand piano.

The piano was set up to be a replica artists studio and here is the top of the piano.

Such a great idea.

Thanks for stopping by.

Little Details

And my last photos from my holiday.  I have never seen Love Locks before so had to take a photo or three!

Thanks for stopping by.

October

Welcome to a new month.  This year is passing so quickly.  On 12 Months in View today there is all sorts of information about the month of October and the challenge is to respond in some way to whatever inspires you there.

I started by using my new Thermofax screens.  I tried with Distress Paints.  Be warned: DO NOT use Distress paints - the paint is too thin. So then I tried Amsterdam acrylic.  This worked well.

I stamped with Archival Ink  and sprayed with some Dylusions inks.

I seemed to squirt rather than spray the red.  The paper in my journal doesn't like blending inks!

I used one of Dina's new stencils with brown ink.  And then to tone it down used White Linen through one of the new stencils by Tim Holtz.

It's well worth rooting round in your stash as I found I had these Tim Holtz stamps.  And then I found a set of unused months of the year stamps!

I printed out the poem, cut it up and inked the edges with Distress Ink before gluing the pieces onto the page.

Thanks for stopping by.
