Goose tangle

 Hallo,
   Happy Labor Day!!!!
   Popping in this am to show you a vase I finished off yesterday. I called it 'goose tangle' for a lack of a better name - the bottle I used was from 'gray goose' vodka. My Hubby works at the recycle center on base so can get me bottle when I need them - this brand of vodka doesn't have any raised letters in the glass so once I get the label off it is nice and smooth to paint and decorate.
  I used a sharpie extra fine black pen and mostly just added a few designs a night for a few while sitting on the couch watching tv....
  Then when I am done adding tangles I seal it first with 'workable fixative' and then several layers of clear acrylic sealer so it can be washed with a damp cloth.
  All for today - pups have already had their walk so now its time to go to the craft room and clean house or maybe some yard work or a bit of each maybe.....

Tarot Tangle

Hallo,
  Well its 1 am and I cant sleep - only slept about 4 hours after getting off work Monday am and was falling asleep on the couch while the Hubby and I were watching tv and then go into bed and BING wide awake so I will finish posting a few things (pre-scheduling) here and maybe be able to catch a few winks before morning - ah the wonders of working night shifts.....
   I was asked to do up a set of Tarot/reading cards and so the next few days you will be seeing a lot of these - they are 4 by 6 inches and backed with some nice sparkly heavy gold cardstock.
  The front of this one is one of my original tangles that I copied and colored in and then added some swipes and drips of gesso for a distressed/graffiti type look to it. The edges were done with a gold metallic pen and the back is stamped and embossed in black with stamps from Papertrey Ink.
   I am doing the backs all the same and using a lot of fairies, mermaids and steampunk. I plan to do up about 50 cards so then she can pick from them - a typical Tarot deck is 44 cards - I have 10 done so far so a good start :)
   All for tonight - Take Care
