I’ve been busy creating little works to sell at The Gallery at Town Center in Lake Forest Park. It’s a lovely little shop full of handmade items and beautiful art. It’s the perfect place to pick up a gift for a friend or a special item for your home.
Lots of different ideas to try for pop-up cards and birch panels
I love pairing words within my Art Angels so that they work together. Attitude, Joyful and Moment are all present. The pink background was a black and white image that I made and copied onto Astrobright paper. I’m thinking about placing the whole thing in a cello bag for giving.
Handmade angel ornaments made from paper clay. They look like cookies! I rolled out the paper clay and laid my printed angels out on top. Using a knife, I cut around the images leaving a little border. I didn’t realize that the clay shrinks as it dries so next time I will leave more room. Luckily I remembered to poke some holes for the wires beforehand too. It took a long time for the clay to harden up, over a week. Then I painted the dried clay with permanent ink so they would be colorful. Glued on my images with mat medium and coated with matte medium and matte varnish for a finished look. Then came the wires and sweet little glass pearl beads.
