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.
What a lovely trio of faerie magic you've created, Trish! Love the colors - and the stamps are just beautiful. I especially like the way it looks on the music print.
ReplyDeleteDelightful, fanciful work. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you, Tristan! That bit with the music is why the seam binding came into play. The music part wasn't quite big enough for the atc size, and it needed a little something to balance things out. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it
