Glossy accents on tiles.
I tried some glossy accents acrylic varnish this week. It gives a thick enamel-like surface to the art project. I used a small card tile to do some mixed media imagery to try it out. ( The mixed media I used was pan pastels for background colour plus stamped imagery on tissue paper.). Then I added one layer of the glossy accents.
There are videos on Youtube on creating mixed media tiles if you are interested. See for example:-
In this project, I used a single card thickness, which gave a bit of curling to the edges, so next time I'd glue 2 paper tiles together for strength. I'll probably glue another tile to the back of this one later. You can also use wooden tiles, ceramic tiles, etc, etc.
ATC
My ATCs were just to use up scraps of paper. In 'Thinking of you', I used a bamboo pen which gave an interesting rough line to the girl's profile.
Susie
Susie went to vet for the first of her booster jabs this week. She was calm and took it in her stride. (No scratching of the vet!!)
She slept all day yesterday though...but this morning was full of beans and played in the laundry basket!
I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Bye for now...
