Musical Monday - Alice Remix

Jealously reading about Maker Faire this a.m. (I'm supposed to be working...sshhh..) & decided to google for some local (Tampa) steamy events.

Not much luck there but I did waste lots of time over at brasky.org - fun, fun place. Which led me to this Alice in Wonderland Remix, an instant must-share on Musical Monday.

Need some Alice (or cute girls in costumes) eye-candy? Get your fix with Brasky's 55 Photographs of Alice In Wonderland Inspired Costumes & Fashion Shoots. I love the one nibbling on a stack of teacups.

Had a some time to play this morning with a few stamps I bought at the The Queen’s Ink booth last Friday.

I’d popped into the booth to ask a question about Judikins Diamond glaze and found myself in stampers heaven! (By the way, click HERE to order a sample of Diamond Glaze.)

The selection & quality of designs were truly amazing!

some The Queen's Ink project samples

So was the booth staff. I enjoyed a great demo on embossing. And got answers to all kinds of questions on stamps, glazes & adhesives. But since you are probably here to find out about next week’s prize, I’ll save most of that info for another day.

Next Thursday's Prize was made using a print of my original tulip painting and an Alice in Wonderland stamp from The Queen’s Ink.


The tulips were printed on textured paper & then enhanced with watercolor pencil for some extra pop. I then added Alice, colored her in a bit & sprayed the whole thing with a UV resistant finish. This piece is signed, dated and matted. It fits in a standard 5 x 7 frame.

TO ENTER: Simply comment on this blog before noon (EST) 8/13. It is that easy! 1 lucky winner will be randomly chosen. Drawing is open worldwide with free shipping.

By the way, for those of you into the online Art Challenges this week’s Mix it up with Melange prompt is Archetype. I’m having fun with this one!
