first effort of HIDDEN postcard swap

no wonder the copy place could not make good copies, it doesn't even photograph remotely well. so i started over and did another one for the people in the swap. this is gold paper which is apparently impossible to copy well. live and learn. the second effort is cooler anyway. ain't that always the way?

circle journal swap for sherry's book

theme: trapped. this is a picture of a nightmare kind of thing and i put the wire through the eyelets to be a really really trapped nightmare. i put a couple of paper beads dipped in two coats of UTEE on there also. i dry-brushed two colors of acrylic paint on the cardstock. after that dried i used the ever-popular shish kebab stick to scrape some white gesso on for the texture and accent. this is my new favorite background technique! hey, sherry, i hope you like this. this is another one i am quite proud of.

 

for sarette's book in my circle journal swap

theme: all about me. i went with me, my cats and my future which is pretty much up in the sky right now. i really like the way this turned out. i hope you do, too, sarette! for more info on my method please go to www.365dailyartdevotions.blogspot.com

 

in raina's wings rr book

ochre and purple, but the tags are lumiere and so the flash kinda messes the picture up a bit. i used oil pastels to do the pages first, then put a piece of patterened yellow/white velum on the bottom left(ish) corner then the tags and a butterfly ( i think it was actually a moth, but a beauty, none the less). some dimensional glue and spackles of paint some purple and gold paper accents and the stones along the side. i am sorry it looks blue. but, eh, it is the only way you will see it and i will be able to keep it since it will be raina's property!
