Wreck This Journal: Drop Something Here

What do you see?

I've been always curious about how people try to get into our minds, one of my favourite methods is the Rorschach Test / Inkblot Test.

I dropped different colors of acrylic paint on to one of the pages and closed the book to make the print.

Colours I used:

• Titanium white
• Phthalo green
• Phthalo blue
• Iridescent rich copper
• Iridescent purple
• Iridescent silver

I love this technique because you can't control what's gonna happen and every piece is unique.
I'm planing on making a few of this to hang on the wall, but not as colourful as this one, I would use blank and burgundy or black and purple.

Projects I'm currently doing

Hello! In this post I'm going to show you the projects I'm currently doing:

1. This is a cat food box that I cut in half , glue some pages of a dictionary and I paint it with watercolours to give it an old look.

2. This is a family portrait, I'm using acrylic paint and a piece of wood.

3. I'm decorating a shelf to be "more like me" and not so boring... I'm using acrylic paint as always.

How to recycle cat food boxes II

Hello! In the last weeks I didn't have enough time that's why I haven't post anything, but I'm back!

This is another project you could do to recycle dry cat food boxes:

Materials:

• Cat food boxes
• Acrylic paint
• Brushes
• Glue gun
• Hot glue sticks
• Cutter
• Sealer
• Old net tights

Step 1: Take the boxes and cut the top.

Step 2: Put the boxes on top of each other and glue the edges only with hot glue. Be careful! You have to hold them well together, you could use a ribbon around so it is tight and doesn't move while gluing it.

Step 3: Paint the boxes with acrylic paint, the color of your choice. Mine as always BLACK!  ^.^

Let it dry, apply the sealer and let it dry a few minutes more.

 Step 4: Take those old net tights out of your closet, (I'm sure you all have, hehehe) break them if they are not broken enough. Put some hot glue on the corners of the box or wherever you like and add the net. You only need a little amount of glue for this.

And that's it!! I use mine to store craft papers, you could use it for magazines, letters, recipes...
It's cheap, good for the environment and entertaining!

More Bracelet Holders

For these models you only need a cd and a towel paper roll.

And use your imagination, use stencils to draw, add polymer clay skulls, beads...

How to make a Bracelet Holder

Good evening! This is my new project: a cheap way to store your bracelets!

Materials:

Optional Materials:

1. Using the toilet paper roll, trace onto the paper towel roll with a pencil. If the toilet paper roll is too wide, squish it into an oval shape so it fits nicely.

2. Cut out the oval, be sure that fits. And glue them together. 

3. Paint a base coat.

4. Paint details. (This step is optional) I made an stencil using photoshop, but you could print an image or paint it freehand. Cut your stencil and paint carefuly, it's best if you put masking tape on the sides. And use a sealer for better result.

5. Draw two circles on fabric, cut and glue them on the sides.

6. Add ribbon to cover the glue and Cut 2 pieces of fabric to make a bow, glue to the holder and... done!

How to make a Necklace holder

Hello! I had been trying to figure out a good way to hold my necklaces and I came up with this... So today I'm going to share with you my version of a Necklace Holder:

1. Put tape on the foam to paint straight lines.

(It doesn't really matter what size or shape it is, that's totally up to you!).

2. Paint two coats of acrylic paint, let dry and remove the tape.

3. Draw and cut a coffin on the cork.

4. Cut the fabric a bit larger than the cork-coffin, enough to be able to fold it over on each side and glue them.

5. Glue the coffin to the foam board. Hot gluing... don't burn yourself!

6. Finally add the thumb tacks and necklaces!
