DREAMING QUAGGA'S WITH THE DRAGONS...

Hello my Lovelies, I am dreaming with the Dragons again, here have a look see at what all the dragons have dreamed up. My dream was done in a lot of little naps :). My Magpie Cuz, Miss Julie Ann got to pick the challenge this time so of course she picked gold

a Magpies favorite and the letter Q, I search my dictionary and found out about Quagga, was an extinct sub species of the plains zebra that lived in South Africa, they were extinct by 1878..

I had a zebra stamp so I tried to create one with it, I started with  a large piece of card board 10 x 6 in., peeled it, used gathered twig and Inca gold all over, I used a hand made black paper with gold flecks through it, for a frame, added water to my Inca gold and flicked more gold one it..

 I cut out a 8 X 4 in. piece of mixed media paper, I went over it with Tim's ink, tea dye, brushed corduroy,frayed burlap and gathered twig around the edge, flicked some water on it. I inked up my stamp with gathered twig and some black trying to make the quagga pattern, not easy, I should have masked it on his rump...

 For the seam binding I first wet it then colored it with my gelatos, it wasn't carmely enough so I added some rusty hinge, that worked, then stamped the zebra in brown and black  and left some just the carmel, then dripped Inca gold on it, I curled the pieces hanging down around a skewer and sprayed it with hairspray to keep it curled..

 I melted a blob of red wax and stamped a Q into it, colored it with Inca gold, used some sticky letters for the rest of the word..

 I used an old metal stencil to write extinct, the words not to straight. I used my gold pen with the sequin waste, I looooooove gold..

Thanks Cuz I had so much fun dreaming with all this gold, squawk..
