Beads, Charms and Dangles..

Beads, Charms and Dangles are the theme this fortnight on the
Paperartsy blog.

Here is my take on this...

I started off with 5 strips of paper, the first 3 I sprinkled on some Infusions in Royal Blood. With a small blob of Fresco paint in Caribbean Sea, I dipped in my finger and rubbed over the paper.

With these 2 other strips, I used Infusions in A Bit Jaded with some Caribbean Sea and a small amount of Limelight.

I stamped using a stamp from Backgrounds Plate 2.

All were then rolled up into beads.

With some cord I fed these through pulling tight to keep secure.

Lastly, another view...

PaperArtsy Infusions and Pebeo Paints...

This is the result of experimenting with Infusions and some gloss paints.

I used some pastel colours from a set of Pebeo Brilliant Gloss paints. I poured them onto the canvas and spritzed on some water, and moved the paint around with a painting knife.

Using Infusions in A Bit Jaded and Blackcurrant, I sprinkled onto the wet canvas and spritzed on some water.

 I left it overnight to dry, I love the way the walnut crystals have left a spidery effect on the canvas.

I don't normally use pastel colours, but for this technique I think it shows off the Infusions..
