I also brought with me some yummy tea treats........
Well, it has been awhile since I have been able to work on a challenge here, and I am so glad that I did! The theme this time was to do wax rubbings and then do an ink/paint 'wash' over that...doing a type of wax resist. I experimented with different rubber stamps till I found one that decided to work with me. I really enjoyed playing with some blue and orange crayon with some black acrylic paint and blue ink. I also did a texture rubbing of the back of an old muffin cup...which produced a flower-like design.
Tall flower.....
Muffin cup flower....
I got this coaster when I went out to dinner with a friend of mine and we were having a soulful conversation. The card had the word "soul" already on it. So after rummaging through my scraps, paint and cut up paper sheets, I got to work painting the card and adding all of the elements. I even had an extra inchie collage square from an art charity collaborative project.
Doing art on these are a good place to experiment with different techniques on a smaller scale.
I have sooooo many more of these coasters...so stay tuned for more "Coaster Art Musings!"
