And the inside pages. I loved mixing the Golden Fluid Acrylics with the Golden Fluid Irridesents to create a soft shimmery look. I made the paints very watery, as Beryl taught us in the class. Of course its hard to see the effect from this photos, but it is very delicate, similar to Lumiere. The beauty of this is you can add the irridesents to any colour you want. You are not limited to colour ranges.
I only used a very small amount of paint and a drop or two of irridesent. Sometimes I added both the pearl and the gold irridesents to the paint which made an interesting effect.
The pearl tends to lighten the colour of the paint as well as adding a lovely sheen. This was so much fun and very quick to put together once I had created all the pieces. Alot were pieces I had made at the class and others were ones I made the nights following the class.
So, what have you created this week? Post a link in the comments section. I challenge you all to join me in the art a day project. Put a link to work in the comments section and a name will be drawn at random to win a mystery prize!
This is my Kaitlin who has just celebrated her 8th birthday, just look at that smile!
And this gorgeous creation is my 10 year old Courtney whos netball team won the Premiership last Saturday.
These are my proudest achievements, all my beautiful girls! How lucky am I????!!!!
I am very honoured and humbled to have received a Nice Matters Award from Ro Bruhn. Now I need to pick some others to award, but where do you start when there are so many inspiring blogs out there?? Okay, here goes. Debbi Baker is such a kind and thoughtful person and so full of artistic energy and beautiful work, Misty whos work and words never fail to inspire me, Jane, her work and musings always bring a smile to my face, Michelle, Jo annas Art Journal 
This first piece is the background for the next image. This was created quite by accident. I was trying a Misty Mawn background technique, but didn't like waht I had made so I added more paint over the top and a bit of molding paste. I need to make 6 more pieces like this now so have to remember what I did!!
I just love these images of Romany Gypsies, this is what I imagine when I think of Gypsies. Aren't their faces so full of character?!
This last piece was done on the Fabric Paper I made from Beryl Taylors article in Cloth Paper Scissors. The image transfer is not clear enough, so on the subsequent pages I will just glue the image down as is. It is of a family of Gypsies standing in front of their wagon.
I will post pictures of the charms I made this afternoon!
