Medieval Times at just for Fun

In days of old when Knights were bold and wenches hearts were won, he'd don a suit in hot pursuit until until the job was done


It's the last week of my choice at Just For Fun of time travelling and we are taking a big leap this time back to the medieval period where fact and fiction till us stories of knight slaying dragons, maidens in distress and magic in the woods .
I have taken my inspiration  from the illuminated pages made by the monks the frame is made from a Crafty Individual boarder stamp as is the little flourish ( I used the flitter glue and metal flakes wow is it good and so easy to use )on a distress ink background and a TH flourish peeking out from behind my maiden
 

Now don't forget to check out Neet and Zoe's creations for more inspiration :)
Aren't you glad I take take you back any further to the prehistoric era lol

Colour wheel Tag

The Craft Barn challenge is to use the colour wheel as inspiration for a tag. They did a whole week on colour and how to use a colour wheel to help you with some wonderful inspiration art from the team :)
I'm Still in Jennie mode and have used red pepper, stream and sunshine yellow alcohol ink to make a mono print for the background and the same 3 colours with a can of air, the flower stamp is from Crafty Individuals and the flourish Personal Impressions

Gingersnaps would like to see some ribbon

Art Nouveau at Just for Fun

I hope you are enjoying our little travel through time at Just For Fun :)

Going back just a little further this week at Just for Fun with Art Nouveau for me it's a very feminine style, rich in colours and texture and so organic  

For my piece this week I have embossed a piece of foil with an image I printed off the Internet to use as my patten and distressed with black acrylic paint and mounted onto the front of a note book.I am please with it but just can't make up my mind whether to add ribbons and the such like to the spine

Art Deco at Just for Fun

Well we certainly enjoyed your memories of the 60's & 70's at Just For Fun  and I hope you will enjoy going just a bit further back the glamour of Art Deco probably not to memories of the period but maybe of things you saw in your grandparents homes.
 Oh how I love the Erte ladies and the strong architectural shapes of the building's coming to the fore with Hollywood and all that glamour.Then there's our English ladies like Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper and Charlotte Reed with their pottery designs

The stamp from non sequential is embossed in gold and coloured with a gold gel pen and promarker and distress ink matted on black and white, and of course Zoe and Neet have there take on it as well as our guest designer Chrissie who has made the most amazing mirror :)
This is a cigarette case which belonged to my late farther in law just love the way the straight and curved lines work together

Have you collected a piece you would like to share ?

Hope you all have fun with is challenge

On a final note I'd just like to apologise if anyone recieved a spam email from me as I was hacked, but it's all sorted now :)
