LB2015 Week 11 Collage/Paint Project Finished!




Using a collage base -- one of my digital face creations has been added and painted plus lots of other touches (like gesso-ing over parts of the collage).  My base collage ended up being very colorful rather than the two-color plan I originally had.  In this project, I used Liquitex Matte Medium, based on the instructor's suggestion, and liked it because the collage finish was more smooth than others I've worked with recently.

This piece was created through a class offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link: www.willowing.org.

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.
