WOYWW

So, finally I have some craft on my desk. After my spending spree and workshop with Tim Holtz and Lin and Leandra I thought I would use one of my new Ten Second Studio impression boards, but instead of using the black metal I bought, which is quite expensive so I plan to save it for a special project, I used a cleaned out tomato puree tube my mum saved me. I then painted it with black acrylic and sanded it back to expose the clock design.

I'm quite chuffed how it turned out.


If your havn;t checked out Julia's blog, Whats on your workdesk wednesday, there is a link on the right-I recommend a good old nose around, always something interesting going on.

Happy crafting

    what a clever idea - I am always amazed at how creative people are - who would have thought of using a tomato puree tube! Looks great

    Love the idea of reusing instead of buying something new! Great design. I must get some clock stamps! Have a great day!

    Soft drink cans are great for this too- just be careful cutting the can open, the edges can be very sharp! TFS, Shaz #125

    Great idea - those paste tubes are perfect softness for manipulating! Love your Tim box - happy that you had such a great experience.
