A book for Bex!

Morning lovelies, hope you're all well.

Today I'm sharing another attempt at mixed media.......now don't laugh, I know I have 

so much to learn & I'm having great fun learning lol! This make started life as a plain

book full of some gorgeous touchy feely paper, was gonna be an art journal for

me but guess what........yep, you guessed it......Miss Rebecca claimed it! Not to worry

though, it just gives me reason to make another one! 

I started by covering the whole thing with Gesso then came the most fun part,

adding bits for texture & playing with some home made texture paste. I used paper

doilies, home made masks, die cut cogs, crochet lace, pearls.....oooh, allsorts

of bits & pieces! Once everything was stuck firm & dry I then covered the

whole lot with another coat of Gesso....once THAT was dry I tucked the image (coloured with
 Copics) onto the die cut frame then cut an extra mat to cover it while I sprayed ink. That was

sooo much fun......did manage to spray my cream kitchen tiles a nice shade of purple

though! I used Perfect Pearls & Dylusions spray inks then once dry I inked the edges

with a black Memento inkpad, added a few resin flowers, some gems & made a 

wrap fastening with some waxed cotton cord.....and that's it! Ooh, I forgot to say I

stamped a couple words & added some metal corners too.

So that's it from me for today..........off to finish the sorting out I started the

 other day then catch up on some nasty housework. 

Thanks for calling........see you soon!
