Gerda is our guest host over at Mixed Media Monday this week, and she has chosen "monochromatic colours" as the challenge. I took the opportunity to do a spread in my next fabric altered board book. The colours didn't scan very well, it is a lot softer in real life. The laces are a cream colour, and the images are softer, but you can get an idea. The image on the left is one that was printed onto a fabric sheet, while the one on the right is an image transfer onto fabric. Lots of fun - thanks, Gerda!
This week on Mixed Media Monday we have Katrin as our guest host again. This time Katrin has chosen "dance" as the challenge prompt, and I couldn't resist doing a canvas for this theme. This is a 5 x 7 inch or 12.7 x 17.8 cm canvas board. The background is done acrylic paints. Lots of fun - thanks, Katrin! I learned the technique for this background at the Altered Diva Summer school. Lots of fun!
This week the very talented Fatma returns as guest host on Mixed Media Monday and she has chosen "places" as the theme. I pondered long and hard about what I'd like to do for this challenge - thinking of all the places I'd like to visit (and there are many, LOL) and all the places I've been and loved. Then it hit me - when it's all said and done, Dorothy was right - "there's no place like home". So that's what I decided to do. I cut a piece of matt board into the shape of a house and used lots of glazes, a scanned page from a Wizard of Oz book (I could never cut that up) - used a picture of Dorothy from the movie because Judy Garland WAS Dorothy, a chipboard number, and a rubber stamp star which I used with paint. That's about it. Thanks for another fun challenge Fatma!
I am currently doing the Softly Spoken Summer Class at Altered Diva, and this is one of the pieces I completed today. Lots of fun working on the background in acrylics, and all the bits and pieces that went into it.
