Adrienne's Art Garden: December 2013

http://adriennegoodenough.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 31 December 2013. I had to make something for a swap, using Lutradur. I started by taking white lutradur, and adding a very thin layer of gesso through a stencil I then used crimson and orange fluid acrylics to colour the lutradur, the gesso takes the paint differently to the lutradur and creates a nice effect. I painted another piece of lutradur crimson, and mounted the gessoed piece onto it using gold brads. Monday, 30 December 2013. Maple leaves book page. I painted a piece of canvas with qui...

Adrienne's Art Garden: August 2012

http://adriennegoodenough.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, 19 August 2012. I belong to a small international ATC swapping group. Each player takes it in turn to be hostess, and to set the theme for that month. Some of the themes are challenging, and it's always interesting to see how everybody interprets the theme. These are a few of the ATCs I've made for that group this year. The first ATC is a textile ATC, made by sewing all sorts of snippets of fabric and fibre to a pelmet vilene base, zigzagging around the edge, and hand embroidering and beading.

PixiePunk Designs: Wire Not?

http://pixiepunkdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/08/wire-not.html

Sunday, 22 August 2010. Look what I found! You know the lovely things you gave me that we thought we'd lost? The Prof managed to find them again! Gosh, that's a lot of exclamation marks, but I really was very relieved when he handed me a little silver box with all the lovely gifts you got me from Lynne at The Altered Element. Sieve brooches without adding hand stitched padded washi paper flower centres like the one. This one has a slightly different centre: a medium sized silver gear thingy. Ah well, no ...

Adrienne's Art Garden: January 2014

http://adriennegoodenough.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Friday, 10 January 2014. MIxed media with maps ATCs. The theme for December's monthly ATC swap was 'Mixed media using maps'. I had a plan. It depended on a stamp. I couldn't find the stamp. This is 'plan B', using maps in a much m ore subtle way, which I rather like! Next came the main image, which I stamped with versamark, and embossed with 'blue raspberry' two tone embossing powder, for dramatic effect. I should have tested on a scrap of paper before I used it on the ATC! Still, it makes her 'pop'.

Adrienne's Art Garden: Lutradur book

http://adriennegoodenough.blogspot.com/2013/12/lutradur-book.html

Sunday, 29 December 2013. I made a little book out of Lutradur, gesso, woven brass 'fabric', and beads. I used 2 pieces of Lutradur about 6 inches by 4 for the cover. I coloured them with fluid acrylic paints. Once dry, I used foam stamps and gesso to add images. If you look carefully, you can see gold shiny areas, I gently stroked on some treasure gold for texture and to break up the larger areas of colour a little. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Maple leaves book page. Textured acrylic canvas panel.

Adrienne's Art Garden: Textured acrylic canvas panel

http://adriennegoodenough.blogspot.com/2013/12/textured-acrylic-canvas-panel.html

Sunday, 29 December 2013. Textured acrylic canvas panel. This was an experiment, following the instructions given by Lisa Kesler, in an article called ' Texture and layers with acrylic paint and stencils', published in Cloth Paper Scissors. The first step was to cover your substrate (I used a canvas panel) with masking tape. Next, I cut around my shapes using a sharp craft knife, then peeled off the masking tape from around them. Once dry, I added a warm ochre colour all over to bring it together. For th...

True Colours: Vintage Powder Compact for PaperArtsy Hidden Things Challenge

http://lucystruecolours.blogspot.com/2015/06/vintage-powder-compact-for-paperartsy.html

Friday, 19 June 2015. Vintage Powder Compact for PaperArtsy Hidden Things Challenge. On the PaperArtsy blog the theme is 'Hidden Things'. This really inspired me and I have loads of ideas but not enough time! Here are some photos of the brass compact I bought on ebay which is extremely tarnished. The front has a pretty rose design but you can hardly make it out so I sat in the garden and spent half an hour rubbing it with Treasure Gold in Brass. 19 June 2015 at 22:16. This is stunning, Lucy! 21 June 2015...

True Colours: December 2014

http://lucystruecolours.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, 28 December 2014. 3Up Portfolio Pastels for Paper Artsy. We chose to use Lynne Perrella plate 030. I made a quadrupe slide mailer and used some additional Lynne Perrella stamps for the images to go inside the mailer:-. It was a joy to work with Gabby and Julie Ann and I hope we will have collaborations such as these again. I do hope you will go over to Paper Artsy. To see our three projects, and once again I apologize for my completely 'lost day' today. Wednesday, 24 December 2014. If you would l...
