take your sunlotion!! / creme dich ein!!

admin — Thu, 24 May 2007 10:00:00 +0000

i´m always having trouble with my sons as they don´t get the importance of skin-protection!! somehow it isn´t “cool” or they are just too lazy or careless to take sunlotion.
so i made this simple altered cab card which i will hang inside the frontdoor at their eyelevel, so they will see it when leaving the house. not sure it will help, though.
done easily sponging the background with acrylics & stamping with foamstamps.

ich red mir noch den mund fransig, weil meine söhne einfach nicht kapieren wollen, wie wichtig sonnenschutz ist!! entweder ist ihnen eincremen nicht “cool” genug, oder es ist ihnen zu lästig oder einfach egal.
deswegen hänge ich jetzt mal diese altered cab card an die innenseite der haustür – in augenhöhe, so dass sie ihnen eigentlich auffallen müsste, wenn sie das haus verlassen. bin trotzdem skeptisch, ob das hilft…
hintergrund der karte einfach mit acrylfarben getupft, schnelle und einfache bestempelung mit moosgummiformen.

second entry:
i came up with something new sooner than i thought;) this is the copy of a cab card, painted with green lumiere, stamped with golden red acrylics and black brilliance. stamps i used are from ornamentum (the “halo”), ma vinci, teesha moore and skybluepink (the symbols and “joker”). cigarband from artchix.

we had quite mild weather and i saw the first butterflies of the year dancing in the garden. — again the shimmer of the (green) dr.phil martins colors doesn´t show up in the scan…

these cabinet cards are too addictive! background colors are acrylics, overstamped with brilliance. the moon is from artchix.

today i altered my first cab card. the scan doesn´t show the shimmery paints of dr.phil martins (love these!). the ricrac was from carma biz (if i remember right) and fits perfectly to the background colors.

colored tape

rainy day. good for experiments. — my elder son is playing volleyball and therefore needs lot of adhesive tape for his fingers;) he always wants to buy the colored kind – “way cooler”. i see. and it´s way cooler for me, too – as we all know there is nothing in the house you could not take for your art, hehe. fact is: colored tapes are very limited to buy (blue, red, green, yellow). but… WHITE is the hit!! today i tried if dye inks would be good to ink the tape. what can i say – they are PERFECT!! you can give the inkdrops directly onto the tape and brush, add some water for lighter colors, you can make a mix, running the colors into each other… just as you need it for your project!

here are my first strips: i teared white tape from the bobbin, fixed it on a sheet of transparency (sorted out from older school stuff) and started painting…
how cool is that?!
