Gothic Arches Challenge - Favourite movie

I don't know where you all get the time from! I had resolved to try to do at least two challenges a week but as you can see this is my 1st since mid July. I was never great at resolutions! Still I love looking at everyones else entries but my apologies - I don't always have the time to comment as they are all so great!

My favourite challenges are definitely the arches and maisons so here is this weeks entry. I just love watching this film with my daughter - so romantic!!

Gothic arches- Cats

This is my entry for the gothic arches theme this week. Gothic arches and Dans la maison are my favourite challenges due to the fact that I love the shape of these mini pieces of art so once I have enough pieces I intend to use them as a border in a scrapbooking page - Should be colourful if nothing else and at the rate of no more than 1 a week might be a while yet!

Dans ma maison il ya - du rose

I'm still in encaustic wax mode but scrimping as usual!! Normally my attempts to save money by using photocopies or poor copy home printed images in my scrapbooking don't work but I still experiment with cheaper options. Rather than use expensive encaustic waxes I had read that crayons can work so I have used these on this maison. ( I used candles the other day- what a mess!!- these definitely do not work and all I had was a greasy mess to clean up!!

Crayons do not give me the lovely texture which can be manipulated as with encaustic waxes but have been used here for the pink background are ok for this type of artwork.

Gothic Arches - Mermaids Challenge

I bought these encaustic waxes last week so have been dabbling. The mermaid challenge is just in time for me to utilise one of my new backgrounds. I don't think my family were too impressed that I have now claimed the travel iron as yet another art product.

Mona in Art- Sunday postcard art challenge

Hi

This is my attempt using an encaustic wax background and collage. I love experimenting with new techniques and am having fun if nothing else!!

Lots to do Challenges - Butterflies

This is my entry for the above challenge!! I just love medallions so I have used a newly aquired medallion stamp. I love butterflies too so this is a great challenge from my point of view.

Crazy Amigo - Lyrics Challenge

Todays Challenge was Lyrics - So I have chosen a golden oldie for my ATC- I'm showing my age now!!
