Altered Slide Book with French Millinery Collages

The other day I was going through some fun items that I've collected over the years for altering and found this Microscope Slide folder and Microscope slides! I thought what a fun project to use the French Millinery collage sheet with all the lovely images from the Marie-Claire Magazine.

For this project you will need:

AP2129 French Millinery

Paris Trunk Ink Walnut Brown

Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer

Terri Sproul Mixers Bronze

Times Nouveau Frames

security paper

Microscope Slides

Microscope Slide Folder

Gold Doily

These images were attached to the slide with Crystal Lacquer and sanded around to give a smooth edge. To give the look of soldering I used the bronze mixer mixed with lacquer and dipped the edges of the slide into the puddle.

The insides of the Nouveau Frames and the security paper was glued using lacquer to the cover and inside of the Slide Folder. The edges were inked with Paris Trunk Walnut Ink. Gold foil doily was added as an accent to the collaged front and inside cover. Words on the collage sheet were added to the cover as well.

Thank you for looking!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
