Before we got down to some fun playful multi-media art we had a lovely repast of cheese, caramel corn, crackers and great conversation.
We put out a huge amount of supplies on the table: papers, pens, markers, pencils, stamps, stamping pads, commercial stickers, scanned and printed pictures of children, old books, crepe paper, glitter, embossing powders and all types of glue. Not to forget the large bottle of mod podge in front of me!
We all got busy and the fun began.Note how bare the table was to start......
Now the creativity and ideas are starting to flow
My finished pieces, the box on left has four different themes the side showing is the vampire child, second side was skulls stamped on old book paper, third side an owl and small boy with crepe paper fringe sewed on a skull cut-out border, the fourth side is an embellished photo of two small children. The middle piece is french paper box with an embellished baby photo the face was replaced by a Gail made black cat beer cap with a tissue paper hat with cardboard banding and skull border on the bottom. Lastly the front piece is a metal pail with the handle wrapped in satin, upper border is book cutouts the bottom orange 2/3rds is mulberry paper with crowns cut form the same book, a large skull was printed on and embossed with clear embossing powder (hence the heat gun noted in the title).
