This 'sculpture' isn't the craft, see explanation below!
I decided to make a page in my filofax journal about the rain, so set about making myself a background using the shaving foam and food colouring technique that I have read about. (Its dead simple, you just put a layer of shaving foam on a tray or plate and add drops of food colouring to it. Place a piece of paper on the top and then scrape off the foam from the paper with some cardboard). This is why its a 'smelly craft', the shaving foam is perfumed!
This is one of those crafts where I like the pictures of the 'craft in progress' better than the finished result! That picture above is one and here are another couple:
(The light wasn't great so this bottom picture isn't in focus)
And this is the finished journal page:
I used a photo of the house opposite that I took through our rainy window this morning and added the text using the Picnik substitute website, PicMonkey.
Thanks for stopping by today,
Nicky

Interesting! I like the finished result - it looks just like I feel about the weather just now x
Was the same here in the South East too. Brilliant page though - really like the end result!
I like the end result, but I'm with you, the "in progress" shot is amazing! its like a foaming, stormy sea, full of movement & depth.
Love the work in progress - you'll need to create a technique that makes it stay!! :D
Your page is brilliant and totally sums up the weather here too! Mind you I'm not moaning about the rain we sooo totally need it! xxx
Those textures look beautiful!
