Arty Oz Collaborative book for 2008

OH MY GoSHIE...in the mail last week there was a little collaborative book from arty heaven filled with the art of over 30 other Woman in Oz.I was sssooo honoured to be in this book.We all had to make Woman themed pages and media and content was left up to us.I chose to do mine like the ones below.Vilene and tissue base.Sprayed that with colour wash sprays and then stamped in white gesso over that.I'm not sure why but I then painted each page with Golden soft gel medium and to my utter surprise the spray wash colours came to the surface and mingled over the gesso stamped areas to create a gorgeous flowing colourful background.

Cuttlebug die cut negative used as a stencil to add texture paste element scroll at top.Vintage image transfers were done using water slide decals or fabric treated with Inkjetset that I printed direct to material on using my inkjet printer.Gold highlights were done with Jo Sonja Pale Gold paint and ironed on bits of gold foil.Halo around image was done using metallic water soluble crayons.Lastly I hand sewed on some red seed beads around the images and added some words.I shall try to scan the other folks works soon for you all....such a rewarding swap!!
