Crazy life and string gel...

Helloo....! Is anyone out there...? :) I hope to be back to blogging a bit more often. I do have "stuff" to post... I just need to find the time to actually do it. I hope you're all fine! We have been a bit ill on and off for a whole bunch of weeks and life seems to be stuck in "crazy mode". Sometimes I'm totally ok with things being the way they are and I just try to follow along, and other times all I want to do is push the stop button and slow things down. I can't believe Christmas is only a month away!

Anyway... here's a layout with a photo of Alva from this summer. I've used string gel and acrylic paint to create the background and I have to say that string gel is so much fun that I wish I had at least a couple of weeks to do nothing but to experiment with it. :) The effect is sooo cool!

Edit: I guess I didn't explain too well what string gel actually is. :) It's a medium for acrylic paint, with a syrup honey-like consistency. What I did was mix the paint with the gel in a small jar and then I poured the paint onto my layout, slowly moving the jar around. So much fun!

I hope you've had a lovely weekend and that you'll stop by again soon, since I'll be so good at updating from now on... ;)
