Mother Earth Spread #1

I like this one, a lot. This spread is in a Mother Earth Altered Book that I'm working in right now. All the colors on the right are lumiere paints. The burgundy is just gorgeous.

I have another spread almost done, I just need to finish the tags. It didn't scan the best, it's brighter and there is no green it in!!

Then, I have one more spread I'm going to work on using Stamp Zia's ladies and symbols. It's going to be fab!

The Recipe for Beauty

The quote is beautiful, sorry for the blur. Handpainted frame, watercolor background and hibiscus flowers and watercolor and twinkling H20's used on the lady. Little square mirrors for accents - and viola - a nice hanging birthday present for a dear friend!

D is for Dreamers

I'm in a new group on yahoo - clothpaperstudios. We're doing a 4x4 paperbased alphabet. 8 people in each group, with each person choosing 3 letters and doing 8 of each letter. I chose D, M and Q. Here is my D!! I really like, it's even brighter in person.

Front (left):
Hand painted backgrounds with acrylic paint and washed with some water.
Hand stamped designs, embossed in clear.
Hand painted and hand glittered mesh - or drywall tape!
Watercolor painted glass slides over the one image and glued down to get blur effect.
Hand stamped with acrylic paint letter D.
Star brads.

Back (right):
Hand painted backgrounds with acrylic paint and washed with some water.
Hand stamped designs in brilliance white, embossed in clear and looks like a watermark. It's the design on a moon, in a circle with stars - did not come up very well in the scan, but looks really cool in person.

Photo Slide Book

This is a Photo Slide Book that I worked over the weekend. I really liked it alot, it was sooooo incredible hard to let this one go. But I have more slides, and the techniques used was not hard at all. Now, it's really straight, but it's too long for the scanner.

1. Painted slides with 4 colors acrylic ink, yellow, lime green, light blue and pinkish/purply color.

2. Stamp womens faces on transparencies.

3. Used alcohol inks on back of transparencies for added color.

4. Used white acrylic paint on the back of the alcohol inks (when dry) so you could see the images.

4. Glued images into slides.

5. Punched Holes into slides and added star brads.

6. Glued slides to piece of fabric.

Done! Now I need to go make more....
