WOYWW #738 - Fodder Challenge (10-12)

Oh my life!  Just wrote my page and deleted it by mistake! 

I've been struck down by a horrid sore throat and really struggling the past few days. So here goes AGAIN!

My desk with all my Fodder Challenge pieces except the mobile which is in our conservatory.

Here are the links to the last 3 days of the Fodder Challenge.

Day #10 Belly Band

Day #11 Mixed Media Tag Series

Day #12 Fodder Mobile

My Bible is open on my desk pending the last chapter of 1 Timothy but I forgot to show last weeks so here's chapter 5.

I did my scripture card on Sunday but wasn't really with it then so initially put the date as the week number DOH!

Trying desperately to do separate pages for the last 3 fodder days but blogger isn't letting me add photos to them (hence why I deleted them and this one as well by mistake).

Had to close down Chrome completely in between each blog post in the end to make it work....Going to lie down in a dark room now....

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Fodder Challenge Day #12

Day #12 - Fodder Mobiles by Susanne Randers - the final project.

We needed a stick to hang our fodder from and any trinkets we wanted to use, plus yarn, beads and feathers. 

I foraged in the house and came up with a whittled stick made by my son when he was a kid so I sawed a piece off that. 

The yarn was from a knitted cardigan. I liked the bumpy texture although it wasn't the colour I intended for this but I went with the flow.

I found beads in the kids threading bead box (most of mine were too fine for the project). Various metal Euphemia including Tim Holtz trinkets, even an old "Victorian" hair clip (no idea how I came by that one!). 

Also a metal token found on the floor at church the week before last that no one seemed to want, and some old shank buttons in threes.

We were shown the tiered circles so I stuck to the same colour way for those. Did all this on the Friday evening then tried to sleep.......

I made it up on the Saturday morning, which went into Saturday afternoon and before long I realised it was nearly 3pm and I hadn't eaten anything!

Love my mobile which has pride of place in the conservatory.

I then realised I hadn't done the feather as an end piece nor actually watched the end videos of this project so I watched the rest of the project videos and made a little beaded feather which I have put on my curtain next to my craft table.

What a super end to a brilliant 12 day challenge

Fodder Challenge Day #11

Day #11 - Mixed Media Tag Series by Shay Michelle.

To keep in line with the tags I have been doing for this Challenge Series I decided to attach my little tag series to the left instead of the top for this project.

I water coloured the front of my base tag and little tags. 

On reflection I ought to have coloured the backs of the little tags too, but I toned down the white with some distress ink afterwards.

I added lots of fodder from most of the previous days to the inside, and the "create" word was from some packaging.

Another super little project.

Fodder Challenge Day #10

Belly Band by Di Ventner

Stumped at first as I didn't have any fabric pages for use in the printer nor any freezer paper to attach to fabric for the printer. In fact didn't wish to put anything unusual through our ageing printer!!!

So eventually remembered the PVA glue transfer method and tried that with some of my printable images.

I made a belly band for my little jar and also a piece for a tag.

I used some old embroidered napkins as the base white fabric.

I had fun trying out some embroidery stitches on my sewing machine.

 

I added a few beads and trinkets to my test pieces which I suppose are now fodder for other projects...

So when I eventually worked out what to do with my resources I really enjoyed this little project.

WOYWW #737 - Fodder Challenge (1-9)

Oh my life, what a week! 

Thanks to Sylvia last week I joined the Fodder Challenge and have been a busy bunny ever since.

My desk is now adorned with 7 tags of the challenges, a tag mini book and some painted fabric ribbons.

I have just blogged each day in case you want to have a closer look :-

Days #1 & #2  - Water Colour Tropical Leaves & Collage Notebook Covers (right box and behind)

Days #3 & #4  - Floating Quote Quartet & "Woven" Fodder Papers (2nd from left and behind & round tub)

Days #5 & #6   - Mixed Media Tokens & Gelli Printed Fabric Ribbons (right tag and baggy infront and left little box)

Day  #7  -  Gratitude Medals (behind round tub and left baggy)

Day #8  - Mini Tag Book (front centre)

Day #9 - Mini Collage (left tag)

I did my Scripture card alongside tag #3

And I managed to spray myself PINK too.

Yep what a week!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Fodder Challenge Day #9

 Day #9 - Mini Collage by Chris Karpiak

Turquoise and Lemon appealed to me so I got going and had a little tag done in no time. Managed to doodle on this one today too.

Fodder Challenge Day #8

Day #8 brought a Mini Tag Book by Megan Quinlan.

I used the size tags I had (got the die for this one - so useful) bit smaller than shown in the video but worked for me.

I re-vamped my pizza box spray booth as it was a bit wonky. 

I sprayed the tags using my spray inks. 

Some were a bit clogged so I soaked the nozzles. The pink was the last to be set free and it did it in style all over my face chest and leg, not to mention my clothes. 

Think I got it out of my top but have left on my multicoloured skirt!

Used up a lot of my Day #1 elements and more I've made since too.

There was space for 3 tags too and I used some of my painted ribbons on them.

I had some silhouette diecuts given to me years ago, for such a time as this.

Need to add doodles and stuff but nearly there.

Absolutely loved this challenge.

Fodder Challenge Day #7

Day #7 Gratitude Medals by Jennifer Wilkin Penick.

We painted stripy papers then cut out the shapes we wanted to make up the medals.

I used my trusty Cuttlebug for the shapes and some Tim Holtz ChitChat for the words.

I even cracked open the spray booth for drying my papers. Go me.

Back to making a tag and used some of my painted ribbon from the day before

Fodder Challenge Days #5 & #6

Day #5 brought Mixed Media Tokens by Kecia Deveney

Really enjoyed making the mixed media sheet to cut the tokens from. Didn't have any metal rimmed tags so used some of the Perspex ones I had after seeming something similar by another participant.

I dyed my hair in the morning so used the dye box on my tag.

Day 6 Gelli Printed Fabric Ribbons by Yetunde Rodrigez

Nearly admitted defeat with this one as I don't have a Gelli Plate, but someone else just painted theirs so I did that in the end, really late too. 

Didn't make a tag with this one.

All caught up so one challenge a day from now on.

Fodder Challenge Days #3 & #4

Day #3 was quite epic, spent most of the day doing the tag for the Floating Quote Quartet by Alison Bomber.

I dug out my texture paste which was still OK just needed a bit of mixing and even foraged in the garden for the poppy pod. Absolutely loved this challenge.

Day #4 "Woven" Fodder Papers by Sarah Gardner wasn't as much up my street but I did a little and made a tag and covered my pen pot (Johnsons cotton bud tub). Used some left overs on day #7 too.

And Day #1's mushroom came in handy.

Having a whale of a time.

Fodder Challenge Days #1 & #2

Came to this Fodder Challenge a tad late so will be on "catch-up" for the first few days. I'm going to make a tag of each day if possible.

Day #1 - Watercolour Tropical Leaves by Tiffany Sharpe

Super challenge, I've since branched out into other leaf shapes, toadstools/mushrooms and circles.

I made a couple of cards too.

Day #2 - Collaged Notebook Covers by Barb Smucker

I did a tag in the technique. Never wet papers before glueing before. Tried on home printed papers but not so good there.

Then I covered my big trinket matchbox.

Great start to this 12 day long challenge.

WOYWW #736 - Usual Suspects Plus New Monitor

Spot the difference to last week - yep - finally got around to sorting the monitor update. 

Other than that, the day to day bifocals are on the desk and the next set of photos at the ready plus tablet on its stand.

Hmmm, so what have I managed this week? Well I did both my June and July pages in my journal.

Both from freebie mini kit printables from Bible Journaling Ministries (only free for their specific month btw).

The July one was inspired by an affiliate video by Amanda at Devotion in Action. How could I resist, but I made myself do the June one first as I had already downloaded the mini kit but hadn't been inspired by it initially.

Then I did my latest #scripture52 card. Used some pretty girl elements I found in my stash, no idea where they came from! The theme for the month is Integrity so it seemed fitting along with my new church die (this was the test one).

This weeks water colour was about spiritual training and covered the whole page on the back on my tip-in. Think I'll be glad to get back to painting on my actual Bible pages again for chapter 5.

I did the scrapbook LOs from last weeks photos on my desk. The fireworks marked us actually walking across the fields out the back to the footpath behind the local private school who have fireworks every year which we had only seen from the window of our house mainly obscured by a very large oak tree in a garden between the school and us! Only taken us 23 years to make the pilgrimage!

Also the power water jet path washing by hubby and the wall maintenance. The former a little enthusiastic in places!! New grass only just growing now!

And finally some craft from church, I brought the colouring sheet home and painted it.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

EDIT - I just won the giveaway for my scripture52 card flip through video featured last week - OK so I was the only entry but still I won for entering - yippee. Not won anything in ages.
