In the afternoon I was teaching at a Chertsey Museum - a little out of my comfort zone! Mixed media notebook decorating! We used wooden and card shapes as well as fabric shapes, ribbons, buttons and lace. They were all stuck down and then painted black with gesso. Once that was dry it was over painted with a metallic paint (red, purple or turquoise) and finally some elements were highlighted using silver, pewter or gold wax.
Some stage photos: such a dramatic difference between stage 1 and stage 3
And some comparison photos showing how much difference the wax makes
And finally the other creations
A good day eh?
