fiber paste

well Debbie had a birthday and I love when someone gets one year older..except for some reason they still never catch up to me!!! darn!

but it gets us all together...goody goody...we had a great time! who's next?

and..flapjack had a birthday. one year old. should have put a party hat on him , but everyday

is a party..he is so cute...happy...we love him.

but now i have cleared the studio table and have decided to concentrate only on paints and mediums. no gluing ..no paper, no journals. i have had the mediums for 3 years and yet never learned all the interesting applications, like the fiber paste.

in the pictures i have taken fiber paste and made a thin piece..almost looks like paper..thin and able to be cut. then i used metal paints and activator to rust the piece...nice because now i can cut this up into any embellishment i would like, that resembles old rusted metal.

then.i did a stencil over the top..using the same applications, paint and activator to make it more interesting....

and now i am on to more testing...i intend to do nothing but testing and painting until august 1..then i will evaluate myself..as to just what i learned!!!

see ya
