More Collage Club
This time for my Collage Club I added some family photos. This first photo is my great grandmother, Ida. She is my father's grandmother. I printed it on my computer but the ink wants to peel off so the edges are a bit messy. I added some bling to her neck. I'm not sure if that is a necklace or trim on her dress but it screamed for bling so I drove to the craft store just to get that one little stone.
The lesson this time taught us how to make an interesting background using a combination of different papers and then covering them in different ways. Both pieces are basically the same. I used long strips of different papers and glued them down. They are both covered in gesso and I used acrylic paint on the second one and different stamps on both. The second picture is my beautiful mom on the right, along with her sister and her father.

I guess no one will get rich inheriting great grandma's family "jewels" from the craft store. Love the bling. You gotta have bling!!
ReplyDeleteI never think of using Gesso, but it sure does make for a nice look. I'll have to make myself get some out and give it a try. Those are really pretty.
