Regal and Royal Dynasties

Chinese New Year is a good time to show off RED.

AlteredPages offers many Asian collages and papers including joss and Foreign Text pages. Visit to see them and order a digital collage in time for the New Year!

For my project, I incorporated "made in China" red tissue printed with gold. It's a good thing and it's authentic! The store has assorted Packages of Chinese papers plus JOSS paper. Collage 3126 provided an excellent image of a demure girl with a dog for my work. I also used Chinese text pages from our Text Pages package

Torn Chinese Text was the base applied on corrugated cardboard with medium.

I added Chinese Tissue papers

Finally, I added regal gold trim and then black and white outlining accents. I think it needs more done but that will have to wait. I was on a deadline and will still play with it later.

Time to celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Dog.

May Good Fortune find you.

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!
