This was a big spread. 3 pages. My big problem is drying the acrylic medium. Even when it feels dry, I've clamped up the book only to have pages stick togther. Now I put wax paper between every page.
On this set of pages I used tinted gesso and "stucco" medium to evoke rock faces high in the mountains. The background images were done on tissue (luv that tissue) using the "fade" option in "Picture-It".
The beads on the fringe are made from cloth saturated with glue and rolled around a straw, then the little beads were sewn on. The heads are Celluclay formed with a push-mold. Who-ever told me about using baby powder for a release agent - THANKS - it worked perfectly. The hardest part was waiting for the celluclay to dry...it took DAYS. I am an impatient person, its hard to just leave it alone and not noodge with it.
The torn edges are stuccoed so that they seem like flakes of rock. The fringe is a piece of silk that's been mostly unravelled. Its glued in between sheets of the section.
