I have just spent the week on a free course and what FUN I have had! Certainly messy at times but who cares…
Day 1 MESSY we made papers with splashes and drips
This is acrylic ink(blue) My Colour Studio intense ink ( bright pink but the label calls it tangerine!) yellow is Windsor & Newton and the black Parker Quink. I added some stencilling with black acrylic and white gesso.
Day 2 SCRAPS
Kraft paper tape is used as a foundation for scraps that are still not quite finished as they have to be stitched- no room for my machine on the desk until I finish the course!
Day 3
Decorations
For this one I took a couple of the tags I made, got my Cropodile out & added some eyelets, ribbons, fuzzy beads (right hand tag)
Day 4
COLLAGE
Black and white scraps masterboard - I’m waiting for a new die to arrive before I cut it!
Day 4
DYING
another messy day here with torn strips of sheeting, linen & linen shirt scraps & some gauze
Pink is the tangerine ink purple is Deka silk paint
Green silk paint & Windsor and Newton yellow ink
Day 5
CLUSTER
Cluster: 7 layers of scraps (5 silk 1mesh 1 dyed gauze) tyvek bead - silver heart button is foil takeaway dish that has been run through a ribbler in multiple directions and a heart punch + 2 needle holes- the circle is a washer that has been buttonhole stitched before it was applied, sometimes I use these for fake Shisha work and will add seed beads around the edge
WHAT A FUN WEEK!
