Some past projects.

My new art journal.  Altered front with chipboard, tissue and lots of Gesso, Rubnbuff.  Tim Holtz  grunge board.

Page 1 of art journal.  Gesso, stamp by Inkadinkado, ink was Stazon, embossing folder is Provo Craft (Cuttlebug), butterflies is Paper Studio and EK Success.  My first attempt at steampunk.

This was inspired by RachO113 - a wonderful artist - see her Youtube channel here http://www.youtube.com/user/RachO113,  This is my ATCs album with paper, gauze and tons of ink ( Willow Walnut ink by Tsukinek and Purple Twilight by Ranger's Color Wash line) adhered to it with the help of gel medium.  The A, T and C are embossing powder with text imbedded.  Flowers are inked with Ranger spray ink.


Gear box

Altered christmas box.  Painted with black Gesso, sprayed with ink using homemade masks.  Adhered black paper that had been dry embossed and then painted with black gesso and topped with Rubnbuff.  Gears adhered with pop dots.  Gears painted with metallic paint and topped with Rubnbuff.  Chain added that wraps around.
