This is a portion of a 'man thing'...you know I got into John's stuff to work on this. Quiet please - he'll never notice!
The cross in this piece came from a fabulous store here in town called Gold N Treasures. I've scored so many wonderful metal embellishments from there that I may have made some enemies in town by depleting their stock.
The large button top centre of this photo came from the stash I scored from Eileen, and the coin bottom centre was part of the collection Rochelle (my favourite daughter :D) gave me when she was last here for a visit. She spent some six months travelling in South America, and I get the mementos - how cool is that?!
This martini glass is just full of texture,
and I'm amused to find this computer bit poking out of a piece - how did that get in there?
You can tell that I'm crazy about cheesecloth. I mop up leftover paint with it, and it gets incorporated into many pieces.
The Golden mica flakes medium is another favourite of mine right now...I must be a crow I'm so attracted to shiny things.
The brown texture below is a mixture of dried (used - waste not, want not!) coffee grounds and soft gel medium,with a bit of Inka Gold brushed overtop.
Coins, bottle cap flowers, buttons, coffee grounds, cheesecloth - it's all there for the viewing.
I'd decided yesterday that I was just about done with bottles and glasses, but then I had a brainwave this morning - Lord help me, there are four more bottles in the sink with labels soaking so I can test it out.
Coins, bottle cap flowers, buttons, coffee grounds, cheesecloth - it's all there for the viewing.
