Vavavoom Fabric ATC

In keeping with the start of summer, I am sending a golden girl to Autumn for a fabric ATC swap on CCS. The fabric is vintage damask (front) and atomic print on the back. I used print and press to transfer the image, then did some shading with crayons... ironed to set and added highlights with pearlex. Did some pick stitching and embelished a little. Hope you like her!

Mica and ribbon bookmark

Super fun project! I embossed suns on a sheet of mica using laminate and embossing powder in the centers for that molten bubbly look. I stamped phrases in metallic on the ribbon too. added fun fringe to the bottom and strung glass fish beads an such for the top. Hope my swap partner has a hot summer novel to use it in!

June Art Lottery submission

This is my entry for the Next Generation June Art Lottery! An ATC using my honeycomb background and a print from a very old children's satirical alphabet book. I'm adding a piece of the background paper too.

Waiting Room tip-in

This is for the theme architectural elements. I made a pastel background and then printed the image on it. I cut it out and put it on a piece of my gesso resist background paper (see earlier post below). I embelished it and made it kind of ethereal. Funny that it started out very bright and light hearted...hmmmm....

Honeycomb background paper

My idea of what the honeybees see when they are about their work :)
The first layer is pastel, then I worked in some Omni Gel. Next I took the grate off my espresso machine and used it as a stencil with gesso. When it was almost dry, I went in with a paper towel and did a little smearing and scumbling. I went over the dried bumpy surface lightly with pastels.
I'm going to use half of the sheet as part of my art lottery submission this month (bee background paper).

Domino Swap

My dominos for a CCS swap- used vintage tiles, clipart "Flower Girls" from Vintage Workshop, a tiny rhinestone, and a thick coat of laminate. I've had a box of dominos horded for years- happy to finally use some of them!
