Sacred Angel of Tuna

OK, so that's pretty crazy!
Actually, my project uses an angel and a tuna can!
This angelic diorama came to be due to my choosing of a pescatarian diet (vegetarian allowing fish).   I have been wanting to make dioramas but simply did not get around to it (that's a bad pun in the whole tuna can thing!)
Chicken of the Sea came to my rescue.
I cleaned the can and removed the label.  I painted the interior and around the rim with chalk paint tinted with interference paint.  While the paint was still wet I coated it with iridescent glitter.

I used a fancy cut angel from collage # 669 and created a stand so it would be 3 dimensional inside the 'heavenly sphere'.  
I cut a small piece of ruffled lace and folded it over to create a cushion for the base of the angel's stand.  I used E6000 to apply the lace securely.   I then covered the exterior of the can with flat lace and an overlay of ruffled lace sprayed and sprinkled with glitter.
   
I was thinking of tea staining a crown of larger cotton lace but I had a Delicata Metallic Gold inkpad beside me and thought what the heck...why not?  
I rubbed the ink onto the lace it looked great!  

I wanted it to make a more dimensional statement, so let one layer of  lace stand up off the circle and created a 'crown' of the gold inked lace as a focal point adding a pretty little flower.  The final gilding was a row of cup chain to shine and sparkle.
This was such a delight to make and I will make more for seasons and gift giving all year.

 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!
