oh dear, today i hada go at soldering! i'd never done that before but after seeing how cool it looks om the memory glass frames, i really wanted to have a go at it! i'm not bad at it! i mean it, it is so much fun, okay! i burnt my poor finger once, i got some solder on my leg, dripped onto my jeans! and ouch! jeans doesn't keep the heat away!
but okay, i had so much fun playing around, soldering things to a little mintbox, trying to stick all sorts to the tin, just to see what can and what not! i don't believe in the what not! i always find my way around things!
are you like me? do you enjoy fooling around with new techniques and altering things, i just love the endless possibilities and the learning of new things, it makes me feel young again! never too old to learn new tricks! that's what i say.
have a look on tim holtz blog! he has some cool hangers on there! really neat stuff! wish i could join in on his workshops but belgium is a touch to far to travel this weekend!
i'm off to have another play with my son's soldering station! have fun with whatever you are up to!
i had a blog for a short while but then i moved and couldn't find the time to keep it up to date and eventually i lost the login and so, moƧnths later and hopefully with a little more time, i have started my new blog! fot those of you who don't know me: i'm tanya watts, mother to 5 kids, scrapper, stamper, jewellery-maker and alterd art lover, i'm passionate about altering all i can get my hands on i work freelance for a couple of distributors in the netherland and belguim, i give trainings for european shop owners, i can be found demonstrating at small shops, giving workshops, teaching cool stuff during scrapweekends, writing articles for magazines.,,, i do this for a living by the way! and as a single mother, i'm glad to say it works!
a bit more about altered art projects, i love to alter big things such as old wardrobes, ienjoy sanding things down by hand, i love the labour involved, i think it is great to see how i can change something into something i really like and that is my own! i alter small things such as chainwatches, mintboxes,... ting dingy things to put in my handbag, and as long as i can get out my Ranger supplies i'm happy! just give me my inks, dabbers, perfect pearls, utee, blending and heat tool and let me be! i'm over the moon whenever i'm able to create. i'm such a lucky person to be able to do this!
with this blog i wanted to create a place where i can share some of my ideas, thoughts, tips and great links with all you artists out there
remember! life is filled with pretty things. enjoy them! creative hugs tanya
Neen, uw blog moet niet dagelijks worden bijgewerkt. Het is gewoon zoals je het zélf wenst. Indien je geen tijd hebt om dit dagelijks te doen, maar bvb. enkele keren per week, is dit ook goed. Het is op jouw eigen tempo, met andere woorden: vele keren per dag mag dus ook zeker en vast, 1 keer per week ook.
Er hangt geen echte verplichting aan de regelmaat. Enkel is het zo hoe regelmatiger je het blog bijwerkt, hoe meer je bezoekers zullen terugkomen en hoe meer bezoekers je krijgt uiteraard.
Het maken van een blog en het onderhouden is eenvoudig. Hier wordt uitgelegd hoe u dit dient te doen.
Als eerste dient u een blog aan te maken- dit kan sinds 2023 niet meer.
Op die pagina dient u enkele gegevens in te geven. Dit duurt nog geen minuut om dit in te geven. Druk vervolgens op "Volgende pagina".
Nu is uw blog bijna aangemaakt. Ga nu naar uw e-mail en wacht totdat u van Bloggen.be een e-mailtje heeft ontvangen. In dat e-mailtje dient u op het unieke internetadres te klikken.
