Red and Gold

Hi, firstly thanks for all your lovely comments on recent posts, I'm really lucky to have such wonderful visitors :-) ....so what have I been up to now? Well I've been playing with some newly acquired brushos in my journal, and created something for the challenge over at Kristin's blog. It's week 4 of SOC which is 1 Red +1 Red + 1 Metallic challenge. I do like a challenge and red isn't a colour I often use in my creations.

I used some absorbent ground in my journal then added brushos and probably too much water and then hoped for the best! Sorry the photo is a bit blurred.

I've used a stencil with white gelato and stamps, silk glaze in crimson and gold fab foil.

I found and used what I thought was an apt Ernest Hemingway quote 'For her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes, and it all was that color, all of it, the filling, the possessing, the having, all of that color, all in a blindness of that color.'

Hope you get chance to join in. Thanks for visiting and have an enjoyable and hopefully crafty weekend!
