New Release and Product Review: Distress Stickles

 Tim Holtz has posted a look at  his new products made for Ranger that are coming out this week at CHA. My favorite are the new colors of Distress Stickles!! I love this product, it’s a glitter glue like regular Stickles but the glitter is more random and chunky so it has the look of German glass glitter, it’s so cool!

Above is an Artist Trading Card (ATC) I made and I used Distress and regular Stickles on the stamped deer and bird. Use the nozzle , a paint brush or your finger tip to spread the glitter glue around, you can make thin or thick layers with it. As you can see in my sample you can add it on top of stamped images and some of the original ink color still shows through under the glitter. It does take a little while to dry, lay your project flat and try to resist touching it until it dries:)

Robert Bradford’s Soft Toy Sculptures: Where Childhood Memories Meet Contemporary Art

Robert Bradford is a British artist renowned for his vibrant and imaginative sculptures crafted from recycled soft toys and other found materials. His “Toy Stories” series showcases life-size and larger-than-life representations of animals and humans, meticulously assembled from an array of colorful plastic bits, buttons, brushes, combs, and parts of clothes pegs.

Each sculpture is a playful yet poignant commentary on consumerism and the disposable nature of modern society. By repurposing discarded toys, Bradford breathes new life into these objects, transforming them into captivating works of art that invite viewers to reflect on themes of waste and sustainability. ?

Bradford’s soft toy sculptures have garnered international acclaim, with his works displayed in galleries and exhibitions worldwide. His innovative approach to art continues to inspire and engage audiences, bridging the gap between childhood nostalgia and contemporary artistic expression.?

For more information on Robert Bradford’s “Toy Stories” series and to explore his gallery, visit his official website.
