not quite goodbye

Well, followers of SSR will have heard by now that, although this month's edition is sadly the last publication of the ezine it is not quite the end of SSR: the website will remain as a portal for artist/crafter's blogs. Please read the March issue for more information.

Meanwhile, here are my last submissions to the SSR ezine:

This first sample uses OnyxXpressions fabulous black rubber stamps, oh! how I love these black beauties! they stamp like a dream with every little detail showing up to perfection, the range to choose from is limitless and the artwork stunning. This stamp is called Great Blue Heron from the Nature series.




I dyed the fabrics with Twinkling H20s and also painted the image with Twinks.





The flower was also dyed with Twinks (if you come to my house you have to beware of those Twinks, it's a case of anything that moves!)








My next pieces used stamps from the Art Deco series (Iris Flourish) and Femme Fatale series (Zelda and Muffy)




No prizes for guessing what was used to dye the fabrics!





It is heartbreaking that these wonderful Twinkling H20 paints are to be discontinued
