This technique is one that really needs to be seen in the flesh to appreciate how they move. You can buy action wobbles but they are expensive and difficult to get in Australia, so I made my own. Simply use craft wire (I used 26 gauge silver craft wire), cut about 30cm (or 12") and wrap it around a pencil. Then cut this into little sections so they look like mini springs, about 4 coils in total. Punch out two small circles using a hole punch, use double-sided tape (or sticky tape) to attach one of these circles to each end of the spring, then attach that to your image. Remember to attach the spring central on your stamped image so it balances ok and make sure your stamped image is wide enough to hide the wobble. Simple! I like how they look on a white background with some stamping as the cut edges of the stamped image blends really well against the white background, as per "Memory" below.... though the backgrounds work well too. 😃
"Memory"...
"Lazy"...
"Esc"...
"Caged"...
"Bacteria"...
(I used some of the new Pearl Alcohol Inks on the
background on this one and it's just on plain
Neenah cardstock, not gloss or Yupo. Love
the shimmer you can get with these!)
