Last Call...!

Non, je ne suis pas serveuse dans un bar, mais c'est ma dernière photo "alcoolisée". Voici les derniers projets de mon atelier sur les encres à base d'alcool. Maintenant, il s'agit d'un signet et d'un bougeoir. L'effet nacré du signet provient du "Mixatives" perlé de Ranger. Quant aux pétales de la fleur, elles ont été "coloriées" avec de la Pearl Ex. C'est un tout autre monde, la Pearl Ex. Pas facile, j'avoue. J'expérimente encore avec ce médium qui est très versatile. Merci de votre visite :-)

Thank Goodness for Alcohol ...

Nah, not the one you drink (although I could use a glass just about now), but the one you use on projects. Like the one you are seeing now. Here's another project we did last week. This time, the stamped image was done on a Stampbord "mini-bord" by Ampersand Art Supply that I got at Heather's Stamping Haven in Nepean. These "mini-bords" are great because they are thick but light and provides a surface that is almost non-porous. The images stamped on those are crisp. From what I understand, they can also be scratched to create details. If you look at the second picture you might see that the tile has been embossed with clear powder. It is too bad the picture doesn't show the full effect. It is quite nice. Also, I have mixed the colors and some Gold Mixative for a different effect. I am having so much fun with that technique... can you tell?! Take care!
