You don't want to come to Denver......

and have Linda and I meet you at the airport! Because you can't possibly miss us!!! We'll track you down one way or the other!!! Tomorrow afternoon, we are off to pick up Liz and Jana.....well, the first poster is done and I couldn't resist sharing it here!!! Can you imagine Linda and I walking around DIA, each of us with 2 posters on rods, bouncing up and down....asking people if they have seen this woman? LOLOL!!!!!

I tell you, we are having too much fun. Of course, I'm still cleaning, getting ready. Today, I swept down the front of the house, cut back all the day lillies, cleaned out the dead flower pots on the front steps (it's already been below freezing here), and took care of a couple hundred other little details like taping down electrical wires, putting more lighting in the garage, finding fuel for the fondue pots......it just never seems to end!!!

But I managed to finish my Friendly Plastic Mosiac. Using the same technique that I did yesterday, where I melted strips of black together to form a big rectangle piece, then placed the inchies on top of it. Very dimensional.....very bright and vivid!

The tiles are 100% Friendly Plastic as is the black background. Used Pinata inks on all of this. Gorgeous, yummy colors!!!

Tonight, we're going to Beaujo's Pizza tonight - best pizza in all of Colorado. Called a "mountain pie". Yummmmm!!!!

Friendly Plastic inchies

This week, I've been playing with Pinata inks on Friendly Plastic. Oh! Yummm!!! Much more vibrant colors - and they go on thicker - I think they are less transluscent than Ranger inks.



I'm doing "inchies" - 1 inch squares. I love how they come out. I've stamped into all of these, but notice, some look antique, some look distressed, while others are bright and shiny. All different applications of Pinata inks mixed with their color extender or 91% or 70% rubbing alcohol.



I'm hoping to turn this into a wall piece of some type but not real sure where I'm headed with it. I also played with Pinata inks on kato clay and just love the look I got for those - so stay tuned as I'll be posting more results this week!

And did you hear that it's supposed to snow down to 7000 feet tonight in the Rockies? We live at a mile high.....so that means just 20 minutes west of here......there will be snow! I'm soooooo NOT ready for it to be here!!!
