Scrapyard Challenge

One of the first Altered workshops I ran was called Scrapyard Challenge,  an Ikea mirror was altered to give the effect of scrap metal, here is a picture.



Yesterday I held a new Scrapyard Challenge workshop at It's crafting Time in Cambridgeshire.
This was a hybrid of the original workshop with elements added from many other workshops, it gave a totally different look to the finished mirrors and although most of the 12 delegates used the same Decoart Americana colours,  each one turned out very individual.

Here is the wonderful work everyone produced.



I thought I had taken a picture of all 12 but one seems to be missing?

You can click on the picture for a larger view.



Finally I want to share this wonderful altered cigar box from Claudia, she has made a full tutorial on her blog, well worth checking out http://vonpappe2.blogspot.co.at/2013/07/altered-cigar-box-nr3-tutorial.html




Thanks for reading,

Andy

  8. I just found your blog through the Flutterby Crafter - WOW!!!! I love your style. I spend a disproportionate amount of time on the net looking at anything grungy, metally, steampunky and rusty. Your style is awesome. You just hit the spot for me today. Going to subscribe!
