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.
Perfect card for the Horror theme- love the heart image...! Love all of the Emphere you added too.
ReplyDeleteTrisha,
ReplyDeleteYou should really submit this to Somerset Studio! They are doing Poe for their Halloween issue next year! Deadline is April 15th & you'd be WAY ahead of the game! It's fantastic, by the way!
This is a gorgeous piece. I wish I do that when I grow up.
ReplyDeletePoe was my favorite author as a kid, read myself to sleep and was then scared all night! Thanks for the good memories!
