A little Gauze, a little dye, and a Cadaver

Spooky can be gruesome

This piece was truly a satisfying project.

An oversize Tag became an homage to a cadaver, poor soul.

I began with our oversize tags

I dyed at least 1 yard of seam binding with inks as I did gauze from the dollar store tinted with watered ink from these bottles allow to dry while you tear and apply vintage text pages. Adhere the pages to the tag with any medium or tacky glue.

Fancy cut collage #3091 skeleton and adhere with a medium.

Apply the gauze with a medium, wrapping to the back side which you can cover with text pages. Add some cadaver glitz if you want with STICKLES

Thread the dryed ribbon through the hole and fluff for fullness. You can always drip some melted red crayon or paint to be more gruesome.

THANKS for dropping in today! JEAN

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!
