There is also an awesome prize to be won this month! 1 random winner will be drawn from all the entries so I sure hope you'll join in the fun and add your beautiful creation to our gallery! We love to see your artwork! Here's what I came up with for this months challenge...
Believe it or not, this was originally a plastic bell-shaped cookie sprinkler to put your candy sprinkles in. I never used it for that and when I saw the photo for the challenge, I instantly knew I wanted to use this bell! I first covered it in a thick layer of white gesso, then I went to town with my inks, sprays, glitter and mica flakes to create the shimmering, icy surface your see on my bell. I actually really like how it turned out. Here's a close up of all the texture and shimmery goodness...
I added a White Bead Berry Spray Cluster and 2 WOC Silver Spiral Stamens and tied a piece of 3/8"Blue Topaz Satin with Silver Metallic Edges into a bow around the handle. Finally, I added a happy new year sticker to the front, and done! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you'll be inspired to create something for our MMMC#44-Ring In The New Year challenge, too! Happy 2018, one and all!
