I W March 18

Inspiration Wednesday week of March 18.

The inclusion is my favourite. 

Dimensional paints and Twinks

Playing with fabric paints and twinks. 

I made the flowers, cut them out then glued them  to an already painted background. All from an online course from Joanne Sharpe called Bling it On. 

Very freeing!

Joint compound is used here as the texture maker, laces are embedded at the bottom of the left page. The right page features plaster of Paris with buttons embedded.The inclusion has a skin made of gel pushed through a handmade stencil of a sewing form.  The pink dress is a mask placed on the page whilst I plastered around it with the joint compound. All paints were applied and partially wiped away after the compound was fully dry.

Textures on Newspaper pages



I was playing with a variety of textures on torn strips of newspaper. After tearing the sheets freehand, I glued two pieces together to make the pages more sturdy, but not the same height. I then proceeded to paint, spritz, and apply molding paste through stencils onto the pages. I also did some stamping.

I then folded them in half and placed them inside a leather cover, and stitched just one signature.

The brass clasp is from the hardware store....just love going there for supplies!
