Challenge #99
Landscape
Happy New Year everybody, fingers crossed 2021 is a year to remember for all the right reasons :) :) :) This fortnights challenge 'Landscape' has been chosen by Josephine. I am still on my learning journey with the laser etcher/cutter and tried something new for this challenge. So far a fair few boxes have been made in my house and lots of etching done but for this one I decided to try and colour the image with Promarkers. Really was a bit of trial and error as the inks bleed into the grain of the wood so you don't have much control so with just a bit of extra time taken and a light hand I managed to stay within the etched lines pretty well I think lol. Next I diluted some Crafter's Companion tint with 70% to make a very light coloured wash which I then used to dye the box - aiming for a very watery distressed feel. Once completed, sanded and varnished I added the wee knob made from a paper rolled bead which I filed down on one side to give a larger area to glue to the box. To cover the hole left at the top of the bead I added a small flower bead which I attached with a toothpick through the hole then the excess on the top cut off and sanded down. The image used is Room with a View by Just Inklined.
