More Black and White and a Giveaway

I made a few more papers using stencils with a sponge roller, but also with the GelliArts gel plate.  On these I used Golden Fluid Acrylics (Carbon Black and Titanium White), and also Golden OPEN Acrylics, which have a very long working time (they dry slowly).

Here are a few of the papers I made, using 9"x12" Cheap Drawing Paper:

In this I used a stencil I made myself with Cheap Drawing Paper.

For this I used OPEN acrylic, and made the lines using a Q-tip.

For this one I used a homemade gelatin plate, 8"x8", and then a stencil over it.

I am offering a giveaway of the 14-product set of Goldens A - Z Workshop In A Box, to one person, chosen at random from those who comment on this post.  Please say something about working in black and white, and/or something about scale.  Im interested in your ideas.  Identify yourself uniquely (i.e. "Mary in San Diego" rather than "Mary").  I will post the winner on Thursday, May 28.  It is the responsibility of the winner to get in touch with me.

My Black Friday Wish List Discount Codes

So Thanks Giving is over and us Brits missed out on all the fun AGAIN! But a fast growing tradition that weve borrowed from the U.S. is Black Friday. The day where crazed shoppers will literally walk over people to get the best deals. Now I dont know about you, but Id much rather spend the day curled up by the fire, slippers on with a mug of hot chocolate, browsing through the amazing deals to be had online. And if that sounds too good to be true, surely a sneaky lunch break purchase is well and truly deserved?

So here are my current wish lists for everything Fashion, Beauty and Home. Ive been lusting over these items for ages, just waiting for a discount code to pop up. And of course, now I have them, I just had to share them with you guys! (Just leave one of each in my size please!)
