Paint

The Mixed Media Monday challenge is using “paint”.

I created these fabric/paper pieces and washed them with different paints.

The process begins by painting plain muslin with a glue and water mixture, adding torn pieces of thin papers and then covering those with tissue paper and paints.

The gold edges are done with a hot glue gun and a Krylon pen. I stitched on the gold beads with needle and thread.

It’s a magical process that the talented, Beryl Taylor teaches.

She is such a talented, creative and generous artist.  I highly recommend taking one of her classes if you ever have the opportunity!

    Patty,
    This is lucious and very intense. I love the colors of the blue and dark red. What did you do with the hot glue pen AND krylon for the gold edges? It’s a really neat effect.
