June's Without Words Challenge


I decided to set myself a personal challenge whilst preparing my sample for you......

A while ago I was blown away by my dear friend Barbara, AKA Forgotten Scraps who has been creating some amazing pencil work on balsa wood and I thought it was high time I had a go myself!!

So here is my first ever balsa wood colouring
for our 
Summer Holidays challenge:



Whimsy Stamps/Wee Stamps - We love you bunches
Balsa Wood
Caran D'Ache Luminance and Pablos pencils
Winsor and Newton Professional Fixative
Chalk ink


If you wish to give this a go yourself here are a few hints....

Firstly, your inked image will bleed, don't panic - it is advisable however to use a lighter ink i.e. not black, that way your pencil stands a chance of covering the areas that bleed badly!

Secondly, it is recommended that you use pencils with softer leads such as Luminance, Pablos or Prismacolor - hard leads will dent the balsa wood and produce ruts on the surface.

Thirdly, seal your pencil work with fixative.



Our wonderful sponsor this month is
Crafters Companion

"Summer Holidays" images HERE

Bring on the summer sun!!!
