This piece is one I forgot about. I received it in the mail today and thought I would post the image. I created this in 2007. Lots of stuff going on in this artwork. I used molding paste for part of the background to give it texture. Then imprinted a piece of drywall tape into the molding paste making an interesting square pattern. I then painted using lumiere and some background images. Oh well, one of the first pieces I did on my own. I used Illuminated manuscripts as the inspiration for this piece.

Here is a picture of my finished ATC card. I need to make 3 more which I am in the process of doing. For the background I used: tissue paper, acrylic glazes, and angelina fibers. I made the beaded flower (bead weaving) and attached it with a die cut leaf. We were challenged to use 3 techniques to create the ATC plus it had to contain a beaded element. I will mail these off in a couple of days.

These are the tags that I sent as part of the Bandana Tag swap with the Creating Chaos Swap group. I also posted a picture of the back so you could see how I hinged both tags together. I used Adirondack dye ink pads (Butterscotch, Wild Plum, Stream) for the background. I stamped the dragonfly on the front first and followed with a stamp that had butterflies. I then outlined with a white inkssentials and Sharpie white pen. I just signed up for another bandana swap so I will post them as soon as they are ready. I am currently working on an ATC swap with Fall beads as the theme. We had to use three different techniques and I chose: tissue, glazing, and angelina fibers along with a bead on the card. As soon as they are done I will post a picture.
