Hello and Happy new year everyone! So we have just begun a new year...for me this meant a new technique to try :) This is a technique I learned watching  Ross Barbera's  videos on Youtube. The first step was to create my patterned  paper using acrylic paints. Here's one I made yesterday and now is ready to use: Then, I made may templates  from sturdier cardstock and cut a few pieces of plain aquarelle paper an one piece from the painted one. After gluing everything together and varnishing the pendant to make it waterproof, here are the finished necklaces:  With this technique... the sky is the limit...so there are more pieces to come in this collection...:) Enjoy! Update:  Here's another one...my favorite so far...:)

Hi, here's my latest project...again with an African theme. I started with two pieces of rice papers: an African girl wit a clay pot, and an African village at sunset. So I had two different ranges of colors. I used a stencil to create the background for the African girl wall art - the idea was to make the onlooker think that the girl is standing in front of a wall. The African village scene came out very antiquated due to the crackle varnish and the very small pebbles I used to make a frame for the image. Both pieces are done on  wooden shelf boards. The photos are not very good... but I hope you will get an idea about how they look like.
